| Keep light equipment from tipping up from cable weight? I just put a box of ammo on top. Heavy and dense, they keep everything in it's place. | |
| Denarips and Vinshine split Loving my Pontis II with firmware upgrade. Glad to hear he will support his customers. | |
| What’s your favorite audio show to attend and why? I really enjoyed the Stereophile shows in Manhattan. But, nowadays, I go every year to CAF. It's a 3.5 hour drive, but I stay with my brother in Gaithersburg. It's a really fun time. | |
| Is there a cheaper alternative to this: Check out Anchor Stands. They do custom work at reasonable prices. | |
| Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ? I have dedicated listening and viewing nook in my basement, so , sure, I would trade up. But my retirement apartment that I will move into in 3 years already has a room that will be my listening room, so no harshing my buzz! | |
| Changing from European to American power supply on clearaudio emotion TT There are voltage and frequency converters, but they are pricey. Look here: https://www.bondyexport.com/collections/powerxchanger-with-frequency-conversion | |
| Streamers under $1500 Check out Small Green Computer and their selection of Sonare streamers. Excellent sound at reasonable prices, IMHO. | |
| Speakers On Wheels? If your floor is perfectly level, four wheels should be fine. If not, three gives you a better shot at your speakers being stable. | |
| Speakers On Wheels? Two things to consider: Hire a piano mover to hoist the speakers up through a window. Also, if you're not a DIY type of guy, Sound Anchors will custom make just about anything you want at a fair price. I am very happy with the custom cradle base... | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update @tksteingraber Your 2000s have a tweeter attenuation switch? That used to be available only in the 5000s, IIRC. My 2000s are an early production pair, and lack any controls. When did you buy yours? | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update @oldaudiophile Interesting. When I worked briefly at Sixth Avenue Electronics in NJ, we sold Bose and a few decent brands, like NHT and Paradigm. The Bose were on display only in a separate alcove. They were not allowed to be displayed where the... | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update @audionoobie Interesting. I also bought a pair of Vandy 1Cs from a local Jersey dealer. This was in 2000. I since added a pair of 2Wq subs. I upgraded my electronics until I felt that I had taken the 1Cs as far as they could go. The natural ... | |
| Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday I was in the 15th Street store years ago for a manufacturer's rep night. Can't recall the speakers, but I think it was VAC gear. After the demos, Andy asked me what I thought of the sound. I sheepishly replied that I could never afford the speake... | |
| Napping while listening I often nod off while listening in the evening after work. I nap on Saturday and usually have a great Saturday night listening session. Sunday evenings are pretty good, too. Just under 2 years to retirement... can’t wait to ramp up my needle drop... | |
| resonance at 500 Hz using headphones - maybe need a different DAC? I am quite familiar with the technician you used. Unfortunately, he is retired, otherwise, I would suggest that you have him investigate. I owned the same Beringer DAC that he modified. It was an excellent DAC, and I only replaced it because I wan... |
