| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range I do listen everyday, but I always turn it off after the listening session. Would you do this just to break in the cable or do you always leave everything on all the time? Seems like it would drastically decrease the life of your equipment no? | |
| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice Mulv: "Doesn't your Mani have a 48 dB setting?" I do believe you are correct, I may have missed that setting and gone straight from 42 dB up to the highest gain 59dB. The dip switch gain settings on the Mani are a bit of a pain in the ass to deal... | |
| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice yes, my speakers are very inefficient Vandersteen Model 2C's from the late 80s. They need loads of juice to really make them rock. I just updated my Pre-amp to a Schiit Saga this past week, which is actually pretty awesome preamp (waaay better sou... | |
| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice Love my cart (nagaoka MP-150 I spent a long time researching and trying different carts already) and love my current phono-pre and not interested in spending more than $150 to 'fix' the issue.

Would the line conditioner need a power cord upgrade, too? What about m... | |

| an upgrade from HSU-VTF-3 MKII.. Keep the sub and buy 3 more (any type) so you have a swarm. Apparently 4 subs is all the rage and can dramatically improve your bass experience | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range George, excellent idea. Hadn't even considered it. Gonna look into the different biamp options. Thanks for the tip, too Tomic! | |
| Magnepan's new LRS? These have me frothing at the mouth | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range Thanks @mrdecibel Definitely willing to take suggestions. If you think I can get more out of the ol' behringer I'm all ears.Cord wouldn't need to be too long. Maybe 4-5 feet. | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? Thanks @millercarbon. So, would you rather have 4 lower end subs (4 of the 12" miccas at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Micca-12-Inch-Powered-Subwoofer-MS12/dp/B07B4MZ61W/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmrnull_1?cr...)Or 1 or 2 REL S3? | |
| Update on Paul Laudati of Clear Day Cable Very sad news. He was incredible man, indeed. R.I.P Paul | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range I bet that Job 225 is fantastic since the website is so bad. Normally there is an inverse correlation between how bad the website is to the performance of the product. |
