| Is Tidal messing up for you? Would you Choose Amazon over it? Qobuz | |
| Electric cars will ruin late night listening? @erik_squires But what if you have a 3 phase amplifier? | |
| How can I tell if I am overdriving the amp or the speakers? I don't think you are "overdriving" anything. I think you mean pushing the speakers or amp to where they start distorting. It would get really, really loud before that happened. some songs are recorded with too much treble/upper midrange and com... | |
| Improvement in Musicality for home theater system @maxwave I think we're mostly all in the same boat here. 2 channel comes first. Most high end amp manufacturers, especially in the tube area where I shop, don't put HT bypass on their amps, thinking if you can afford a $35K amplifier you should ... | |
| GOOD TUBES, BAD TUBES I have bought quite a few tubes lately. No problems with small input tubes, these guys last forever. Got a couple of bad power tubes. Some were NOS and some were tested good. I got one bad tube of each kind. These were ebay purchases. I poli... | |
| Improvement in Musicality for home theater system @maxwave Ok. I guess we agree. I just can't always follow your logic but you should end up with a good sounding system. Enjoy. --Jerry | |
| Improvement in Musicality for home theater system @maxwave You are strongly agreeing with my suggestion. You just don't understand how HT bypass works. --Jerry | |
| Looking for good computer speakers I have audioenfine hd3 and 5hd4. Very happy with both. Jerry | |
| Electric cars will ruin late night listening? I haven't bought into electrical demand as the cause of enjoyable late night listening. There are a lot of things that affect the electrical system but more demand doesn't equal more noise. I'm willing to listen to arguments why but a layman's g... | |
| Improvement in Musicality for home theater system For musicality you have another option that I think is better. Buy an integrated 2 channel amp (almost always better than an AV reciever) that has pre in. keep your current AV amp for watching movies. Run a preamp out signal from your AV amp to... | |
| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive @randym860 That is pointed out on this site frequently and ignored just as often. It’s a cult here so they only hear what they want to believe. Best to keep your head down. --JErry | |
| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive There were two attempts a few years ago to create multi channel music. One was called SACD and one was called DVD-A. I had an Acura with one of them. It was great for imaging. I didn't have a home player so I can't say how they stacked up agai... | |
| Limited soundstage between speakers @mahgister I didn't read your manifesto but I hope he isn't just suffering from bad reflections. I did address that in my original post. --Jerry | |
| Will the used tube amp market suffer? Looking for a deal here. | |
| Sound Better w/Amp Directly Into Wall Then Thru Zero Surge Not surprising. There is a lot of poor understanding of electrical concepts here on the forum. Here is the basic problem: People don't realize the incongruity of buying a 10ga power cord and thinking your amp only needs the spec sheet power of... |
