| Footers under new speakers Gaia footers are great, Townshend podiums are better. Fin Own both. Spend more, in this case get more. Cheers | |
| Noticeable Sound Improvements With Speaker Re-cap? Recapped about 12 pair speakers using generic Solen to Mundorf Gold and variations in between. Always a big step up in performance. Simple enough, keep values close. Speakers ranged from $300/pr. to $3,000/pr. More expensive speakers usually c... | |
| So What Let's My "Mermans" Sing? Cannot speak to your investment, work and tweaking, but man that room shape. Wow! I had a room shaped like that once and could not make it work in that configuration to my life. You must be a genius. Good on you. | |
| Help please! Something amiss with my digital chain Yes to preamp. No comment on dedicated lines, but a cheaper quicker fix would be the Decware ZLC which works great and provides 6 outlets. Not current limiting. I've gone through a cadre of Furmans, Decware works. Period. Good info from others. | |
| Anyone ever upgrade Merlin TSMs to Black Magic Edition (BME) @agp75 seems about right. I’ve owned both models, just not simultaneously to A/B them. It’s definitely a can’t go wrong speaker. They improve with upstream upgrades, but do not punish less than esoteric gear. I never had an unlivable gear mi... | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? Yes. But only the good stuff. And to the pedantic non-believing head exploding recalcitrant wankers. Be quiet and allow us our bliss. Thank. | |
| Equipment scratches Flitz may work. https://www.amazon.com/Flitz-Multi-Purpose-Polish-Cleaner-Paste/dp/B000MUSOW4/ref=sr_1_7?crid=3QH11Z8JOKEV6&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.3hFaO59pNr5W8G4yG771IggJs2oTKRULmYulrEJdk1IbNq-i6mweDCrxlfyrHvuHKKWuOv25z94CGmDdBb3XBTa2Qta4xM5jM7xRl... | |
| Happiness is... Never mentioned in the “Darwin Awards”. Tight hold on common sense keeping me out so far. | |
| system upgrade Okay, I’ll set myself on fire. Wavetech $9,500. Small wooden box, 5” mid/woof + tweet. That’s it. I would really need hear that. Think I’m out. Again, would give ATC, PMC or Revival a shot. Good luck hunting, you’ll need it. | |
| Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!! ATC +1 Harbeth would also work, but ATC would carry more punch. With smallest ATC SCM 7, sub should be considered. Good hunting. | |
| MBL Insolvent I’ve no knowledge of MBL’s workings. However, for decades I’ve followed decline and failure of hundreds of companies. Usually, much is self-inflicted. Nissan faced 35B in debt, recruited Carlos Gosn who brought it round to profitability (+2.7B ... | |
| Chair https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/poaeng-armchair-birch-veneer-hillared-anthracite-s49305924/ Improved everything by taking off the headrest which congested everything. I know, weird. | |
| What is your audio axiom? Have fun, with which ever system you built and are listening to. Relish a world of satisfaction rather than relentless critique and unsettled search. I apply that axiom to travel. I enjoy whatever level I’m at to include living and working overs... | |
| What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase? https://atc.audio/hi-fi/loudspeakers/classic-series/scm50/ Will crush anything on your given list. Passive version allows you use of your mono blocks. Good hunting. | |
| more power Crewing Vega speakers are absolute power pigs. They consume amplifiers and get louder but rarely distort. The Onkyo not up to the task. Without getting too crazy, would look at Outlaw as their power regulation is more solid than Onkyo. Not sur... |
