| Seeking a Power Conditioner My research lead me here https://acousticfrontiers.com/products/environmental-potentials-ep-2050 Yes, I have one installed, but so far not tested by a strike. Best of luck. | |
| Vienna Acoustics 'The Music' Only to contuzzi's comments about a non-motivated company. I lived and worked in Austria some years and it is a socialist country through and through. Mostly not very innovative nor outward looking. I do not know Vienna Acoustics products. I j... | |
| Do I need upgraded power cables? Puritan Labs PS 106 is reasonably priced power conditioner/surge protector, $1300. Yes, I run one on a smaller system. Patrick Cullen power cords are price/performance terrific. Yes, I run those in the same smaller system. Balance need be stru... | |
| Hearing aids for audiophiles or musicians? Widex is reportedly quite good. Business associate running a high end stereo shop swears by them, about 7K. Financed hearing aids through Costco for a musician friend who swears by them and Costco’s service. Believe those were 2K. Honolulu ha... | |
| Help needed to make system better, please Well, after all of that I can only add the proverbial time tested endlessly debated triggering….. wait for it…. ACTIVE. Yes, ATC active. You can imitate an iRobot vacuum running into furniture and cats changing direction or finally give it a sho... | |
| Bose Chucks Mac Oh look, I found a filet mignon plate on my Dennys menu. Wrong product, wrong place, wrong demographic, what could go wrong? Shocking. It's truly amazing how mis-directed marketing can get involving supposedly smart people driving the bus and b... | |
| The Disappearing Act Truly a near mythical thing. Combination of so many elements not least of which is room acoustics. One of the better rooms I've ever experienced had a red brick wall floor to ceiling behind the speakers with no acoustical treatment in the room. ... | |
| Amp suggestion for Merlin TSM speakers Isn’t Will Vincent ’autospec’ on this forum? If he is still in the game I would start there. Never owned, but read lots of very positive reviews of his refurbished Dynaco 70 pieces. | |
| How many times can u visit a hifi store before it annoys the store if u plan on a purchase I always bring cookies for the crew....each time. Or something. It should be a bit social. The exchange meant to be enjoyed, not endured. I've even taken microbrew. But then, that's just me. Cheers | |
| Are Merlin TSM speakers buried with their owners? Merlin TSM BME with master Zoebel boxed for now. They are wonderful, but moved onto ATC active to move air like I wanted to. Within their parameters of price, physical size and performance with reasonably priced kit driving them, they are gamers. | |
| Spotify channel list non-existent Thank you Audiogon moderators for controlling the hippocampus challenged. | |
| Spotify channel list non-existent Okay. Thank you for clarification. Obviously, it’s all different. Cheers | |
| Sirius XM for 80 year olds....... fool's errand? Agree with Spotify quality, but programming may be the issue. Thank you for other info also. | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? Yes, ATC SCM 40. Owned the active version for some years and only replaced with larger ATC 50 active. Wonderful transducer with no bad habits. Ah, the ATC midrange. Magical. Best of luck. | |
| I should start with speakers. This I know. I’d like to establish a new system. Sure, I’ll play. ATC SCM20ASLT. These are passive sealed towers with their best ‘S’ Spec tweeter. Sugden IA 4 integrated amp. 33 WPC Class A throughout. Retail well under 20K. This combo is shockingly good. Or, you can move up the two lines... |
