| Leather couch, leather love seat or single wooden chair Two recliners with ottomans, one in the sweet spot. Leather, and high-backed, they are comfortable, but high-backs are a no-no for audio. Comfort is also important, and I have long been looking for a replacement. I do listen alone, and I prefer... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! mallen123: According to the guys who are in charge at Sweetvinyl, the next suite of features for the SC-2 will be out in late January or February. These should include track splitting and the ability to send the digitized files over your home ne... | |
| This guy just doesn't stop... I admire Simmons. A genuine entrepeneur succeeding in the U.S. (mostly) free market economy. | |
| Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY? There are many ways to skin a cat, or a loudspeaker. Baffle-less designs are out there, from the semi-kit products like Pure Audio, to finished louspeakers like Emerald Physics. But other designs are also baffle-free, or partially baffle-free, lik... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! coryl - Welcome to the club! I am not much of a techie, but if you have the Play Store app on your Android, you used a gmail address to set it up. That's the email address you should use. I hope this helps. | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! I continue to be highly impressed by the dedication of the folks at Sweetvinyl to getting as close to perfection as possible with their products. I reported what a few of the golden ears heard as differences in the processed vs. non-processed sou... | |
| Oppo Sonica DAC for streaming Tidal I would seriously consider the Sonica as a nice replacement of my current DAC and SBT, if only Oppo would update the software to do gapless playback. What a shame they can't seem to get this done. | |
| Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers roddy - I don't own 5's, but I have a pair of the battery-biased M-HP5 crossovers. The batteries are soldiered in for better sound. If you are good at soldiering, you can do this yourself. If you are a klutz like me, a dealer or a capable frien... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! malosuerte: My time with the SC-2 has been hampered by an amplifier failure. Whiile my amp is in the shop, I have been doing little critical listening, instead using the time to digitize more LPs, during which I monitor the process usinfg headph... | |
| Let's talk power cords IME, power cords can make a difference. I think, and I am no engineer, that most of the beneficial effects result from rejection of EMI and other noise. Poorly shielded wires are basically antennae. The argument that how can the last few feet comp... | |
| Ohm 2000s at NY Audio Show I was there on Sunday. I concure that the Ohms were better shown than last year. I am a Walsh 2000 owner (since 2009), so I could compare the sound in the room at the Park Lane to my own room's sound (where I use better electronics and a pair of... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? John Strohbeen and associates made a great showing at the New York Audio Show over this past weekend. They had a pair of 2000s (the ones I have owned since 2009), powered by an Outlaw Audio 2160 receiver, fed by an older Oppo universal player and... | |
| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? Nothing I have heard combines the best dynamic range with a disappearing act. That said, I would look at omnis like Ohm, German Physiks, and MBL for the disappearing part. Subwoofers will help the dynamics on these. Dynamic range can be very good ... | |
| Please suggest bookshelf with best bass response under $4000 pr. Why not a bookshelf like the Golden Ear AON 3 (well below your budget) ? I have heard other speakers from Golden Ear , and was highly impressed. These stand mounted speakers use the same excellent folded ribbon tweeter they use is their floor stan... | |
| Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers gdhal - With all respect to your dealer, has he heard the Tektons? I have not, so I have no idea if they are any good or not. But I do understand the need for speaker designers not to talk too much about their "special sauce", especially if it i... |
