| Meeting up with members even where there is no sale Well, I put up a post saying I would like to find other like-minded people for listening/social interactions. I was part of SMAC (Southeast Michigan Audio Club) for a few years, and this is what they did. Had meetings at people's houses. I am wil... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... I have heard many of Danny's supposed tweaks - IMHO nothing really there. Just me though. | |
| Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system I have heard several DAC designers STATE unequivocally that external clocks are only useful for instances where you need to sync clocks of several pieces of equipment, otherwise the internal clock is the best. I will not argue with the experts. | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama The point is there are reviews with no feet actually posted on Tekton’s website that do not use the feet on the speakers that he knocked for the review. This is just another MQA kerfuffle again. | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers Well, the issue being Tekton has review videos of the speakers Eric reviewed and guess what they had no feet on them when, for example, Steve Guttenberg reviewed them, Why threaten to sue one and not the other - they both didn’t have the feet on.... | |
| FAKE NEWS - NEGATIVE REVIEWS NOT ALLOWED!! People who say equipment needs breaking in - NOPE. If it doesn’t sound good out of the box, for me at least, it never changes. That said hotel rooms are notorious for being hard to setup properly and many just don’t have the time. I know I have do... | |
| Are You A Disciplined Audiophile? For me, if the sound is Not better, initially, after the change, no amount of waiting will change that. | |
| Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner? When I was at a local dealer hosting McIntosh, one of their amplifier engineer/designer was there, and said amps should not be plugged into a power conditioner. The Power Supply, properly designed, does not need it and it lowers the draw rate of t... | |
| Chicago, Illinois I am looking to set up a small group of people wanting to get together and listen and socialize. I am looking in the NE Illinois/SE Wisconsin area. DM me if interested and we can meet ahead, say for coffee to chat and talk about how to do this. I... | |
| Audiovector QR7 or B&W 702 S3 to Diablo 300? Not impressed with Joseph Audio. I find his designs mediocre sounding and too expensive. Prefer the B&W. | |
| Milwaukee, Wisconsin Area I live in NE Illinois and looking for an audio club to join. I was in CAS but had, well I never got any of their emails about meetings. Just not my style. When I lived in Ann Arbor, MI I belonged to SMAC, the Southeast Michigan Audio Club. There ... | |
| Best Plasma sony,pioneer.Panasonic ? Pioneers are decent, especially if buy the PDP-4330 (for a 43" plasma - it is a commercial model). This is because they have a card slot that you can add connections with. A few others have this, but Pioneer is great about that. The blacks could b... | |
| Floorstanding Speakers There are floorstanders that are designed to be close to walls - Royd Audio is one of them - http://www.roydaudio.com . They are a small british company that make speakers at the same level as Dynaudio and Totem.Dave | |
| Can speakers be too good? I would suggest, if you can find them to listen to, some Royd Audio speakers http://www.roydaudio.com . They are a smaller british company and make some fine sounding speakers. Castle, Rega, and Neat are some other british speaker companies to try... | |
| Alternative to Speaker spikes Buggtussel loudspeakers makes rounded brss feet for their speakers. They do not puncture the carpeting, and do a good job of connecting the speakers to the floor. I think they will sell them separate.Dave |
