| Introducing Myself Welcome to Supatrac. Along with advertising, I've found that even the mildest of cusswords will get you deleted. Even if it is just an adjective. | |
| Using Adcom GFA-555s as monoblocks to power magnepan 3.3s in active biamp I had Adcom separates in the 90's. They are not a high quality product. I actually GAVE them away. | |
| hearing loss and amp choices This one is so easy. If your right ear has the problem, turn your head so it faces the left speaker. Shazam! Works for me. | |
| Internet Radio on Audiophile Quality 2 Channel System I have only tried a couple internet radio stations, but so far it seems they have all the sound quality of a MP3 file. | |
| New Magnaplanar 1.7 delaminating and buzzing. My Maggie dealer tells me all Magnepans are on back order. This a legit company and I have no doubt they will make things right, in time. Seems they are having parts not being shipped on time and of course, labor problems like everyone else. | |
| Definitely a good listen Nonoise, I wish I had a local jazz station to listen to. I do not use the internet radio, seems to be about like satellite radio, meaning it sounds washed out. | |
| The vanishing stereo rack Hey, i have a Sony boombox with built in cassette and CD and a bass boost button. What more would you want? | |
| How much faster of a sub is the REL T5X vs SVS SB12-NSD Use a sealed box sub with Maggies, servo controlled as well. Much faster than a ported design. And do not put it in a corner, I have mine next to the electroncs rack and in between the Maggies. | |
| Is There A Device For Home Use That Can Measure How Low The Bass In My Speakers Is? Listen to Chayro, The Stereophile test CD will tell you. Common sense tells you when it becomes inaudible, you have passed the bottom end. | |
| Hot Rats In case someone is wondering if they like him, listen to "Apostrophe". If you do not love that, you will not be a fan of his other stuff, either. Yellow snow and cooties? Yup. | |
| Was my friend given misinformation. Salespeople want to sell what THEY like. The guy might not have heard anything better. Comparing an AVR to a good stereo integrated would be like comparing Jim Beam to Knob Creek or Elijah Craig. | |
| New to streaming question I use Qobuz and going through their "discover" selections, I will find something in what they stipulate is "HI-REZ", but when I play some of them, my streamer tells me they are 16:44.1, same as a CD. It is Qobuz doing that, I am pretty sure. And... | |
| Qobuz Skipping or Short Pauses My streamer was recommended to be hardwired to the router. It rarely has unwanted gaps or problems with Qobuz. | |
| Beware poor sounding media Socalm, I have bought some new remastered vinyl only to find out it sounds similar to a CD. Kinda takes the fun out of vinyl for vinyl's sake, doesn't it? | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding I never understood what the Deadheads were seeing or hearing, but I never took those heavy drugs . 50's jazz, while I respect, is boring to me. My jazz started in the 70's with Weather Report and Tom Scott. |
