| Speaker Suggestions Have a look at the GoldenEar Triton Reference. Well within you price range and a very nice speaker. And if you call the company in the early morning there's a very good chance you will get the head designer answering the phone. | |
| Using a mono speaker instead of stereo? Why would anyone want to give up the soundstage provided by stereo. I want my system to sound as close to a live performance as possible. Don't recall ever going to a show where all the musicians stood in a single line, front to back. IMHO this... | |
| Let me explain something to you jive turkeys. @tooblue You be showing your age with that one. Signed, Dobie 🤣 | |
| Solid State Phono Stages @thiefoflight Nice looking specs on the Moon product. I would expect that at three times the price. I'm at the point where my ears just can't hear the difference above a certain level of quality. Cheers. | |
| Solid State Phono Stages @thiefoflight I have the Rega P8 with Alpheta 3 MC cartridge. Hegel H590 into Acoustic Zen speakers. It is dead quiet so I'm not sure what noise others are complaining about. My previous phono stage was the Vertere Acoustics’ Phono-1 MkII. Th... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages I am very happy with the Parasound JC3+ Way below your max budget and while worth a demo. I believe it has all the features you have requested. | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? It's a shame Costco doesn't sell high end audio. Their no question return policy would be terrific in this hobby. 😀 | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? Whenever I read these threads about the value of (type your product of choice here) I think about my own journey towards great sound. If I may, I would throw out this analogy. You wouldn’t notice the difference in the mirror if you have gained a... | |
| Low Level Listening and Distortion @ghdprentice What are saying? Speak up. I can't you over my loud system. 🤣 | |
| Low Level Listening and Distortion Another question is this. Does anyone really enjoy music at "low level". Other than for the sake of backgound noise, I have never been able to enjoy music without enough volume to let the sound open up. Just saying..... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? @raysmtb1 Just because you don't believe in something, doesn't mean it don't work. 🤣 | |
| Madman! Digital vs Vinyl If an LP plays in the forest and there's no one there to hear it, does it still sound better than a CD? Why do people continue to do these silly comparisons? 🤣 | |
| Class-A Amplification and 15 Amp Outlet @carlsbad The OP's question was "My question is based upon the power draw (even at idle) and the ability of a 15 Amp wall outlet to provide such without tripping." The simple math above addresses that question. The value of power cables is a com... | |
| Class-A Amplification and 15 Amp Outlet Watts devided by volts = amp draw. The Pass XA160 you mention draws 600 watts, which equates to 5 amps (600 watt devided by 120 volt power supply). My entire system (Hegel H590 amp) draws less than 2 amps when playing music. You should be fine ... | |
| What is your favorite cover? IMO, to rate as a great cover, the artist has to transform the song in such a way it transends the original. A good examole of this is Sax player Tom Scott with his version of Ode To Billie Joe. Give it a listen and see if you agree. His sax wo... |
