| 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... | |
| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive I don’t think @tektondesign realizes the depth and breath of irrational hatred for Tekton on this specific forum by people who have never heard the speakers. | |
| Limited soundstage between speakers 99.9% of music should appear between or at the speaker. That's just physics. There could be room reflections causing the appearance of sounds outside the speakers but that would be unfortunate. As mentioned, using out of phase recordings can ca... |
