| Speaker positioning and center image depth @newbee Thanks for the reference track, I’ll look into it. I agree it’s not just about the center image, I guess I was just trying to make a simplified point vs trying to generalize the relationship between positioning and the depth of the entir... | |
| Connecting dual subwoofers to a stereo preamp @udo If you have the room and budget, dual subs are worth it. Having a single sub will not deliver the clarity and imaging across the whole width of the sound stage. For bass, a single sub may just ever so slightly manipulate where a bass player m... | |
| Connecting dual subwoofers to a stereo preamp @udo I own two SVS SB-4000s. You do not need the Y-splitter. Just have the left out going into one input on the left sub and the right out going to another input in the right sub. The only time you need a splitter going direct into sub is if you o... | |
| New High End Audio Dealer in Midwest @teeball It’s always great to meet local audiophiles, Terry. I’ll message you direct, and perhaps we can chat on the phone and arrange a visit to hear each our setups and take it from there! | |
| New High End Audio Dealer in Midwest @dlshifi Seeing this quite late, but thank you for your kind words Dan. Hope to see you again soon! | |
| Modwright PH 9.0X Tube Rolling Question Hey @pindac - the unit you were able to demo was the SWP 9.0 SE, not the PH9.0. The PH9.0 was the SWP’s successor about 3-4 years ago and is completely different design (circuitry, tubes, chassis) than the SWP. The SWP was very good as it was, as ... | |

| Wilson Audio Sabrina X vs Yvette vs Sabrina (Regular) I’m not going to be able to answer your questions, but I’ll try to help, even though you may also not like my answers. :) First of all, Wilson needs A LOT of space to sound very good. I owned the Yvette, and they were very easy to love. Unfortuna... | |
| What is a good turntable preamp under $500? Pro-Ject Tube Box S2, add some good aftermarket 12AX7 tubes. | |
| Subwoofer RCA Cable @holmz You are correct in both points but it does not necessarily prove me wrong. Any lowering in impedance, say from an improved dielectric and quality of conductor typically results in a faster, more open sound. Yes there may be very little curr... | |
| Subwoofer RCA Cable As far as RCA sub cables go, I’ve only compared DH Labs sub cables, and not against cables that are meant for full frequencies. That said, the DH Labs Thunder cable, which is made of pure silver coated copper conductors, proprietary shielding and ... | |
| Where to go from here? As the Denon is a mid-fi AV receiver, I would look at DAC that also has a great preamp section. Otherwise you would have to worry about the extra cables you need in between and for power as well. I may sound biased as I am an authorized dealer fo... | |
| Vinyl, CD's and Digital Files Accumulated Over A Lifetime I don’t think the 8TB is full. It’s just the total space @lalitk has. I do own some DSD albums that are about 2-4GB each. I’ve gone the same route where I went from 600 to 400 vinyl about six months ago. Luckily I’ve kept my digital library well ... | |
| Subwoofer RCA Cable It will depend on who you ask, but most people who believe in investing in quality cables including me will say yes. I say it like this because any cable thread is bound to go south on this forum. Sub cables typically have differences in both th... | |
| Scansonic MB-2.5B vs Sonus Faber Lumina III The Scansonics the @jetter listed is being sold by Alfred Kainz if Highend Electronics. @musicaddict The Borresen Z3 Cryo I now own we’re sold to me by Tyler Mueller at Next Level as well. Both Alfred and Tyler are amongst my favorite dealers ... |
