| I blew up my receiver. Now what? Not meaning to pour salt in the wound, but the unit would not have even plugged into the wall with a North American plug. I've lived and worked in Europe for years. You had to have used an adaptor.Anyway, as previous posters have concluded, you ... | |
| Best options for active speakers $4k or below? Focal works. Well priced for performance. Easily found and returned. | |
| Back to trying to upgrade Harbeth 30.1s Perhaps I got this wrong. OP is asking for more dynamics and increased bass, so he's sent by some to a speaker with a woofer almost half the size of his current one obviously contained in a smaller volume sealed box. Humm?I would look at an acti... | |
| Has anyone heard a Sugden ANV-50? and advice on upgrading. Also have not heard the ANV-50, but have owned an older A21SE rated at 33wpc class A. It is scary and I've used it with many speakers to include Reference 3A towers, Merlin Black Magic, Penaudio Cenya and a myriad of others not particularly effic... | |
| The Best Isolation/ Vibration Footers per component - what's your experience? The 1.3m system would be Definitive Audio and as noted is oft random and structureless. Had a roommate who loved to stick Maggies, Luxman pre/amps and turntable in a 9'X12'X8' space and let her fly. All great components, just not there.The isola... | |
| Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally Nothing on this website is biblical. That said, I have lived with my ATC 40 actives for three years now and found any acoustical anomalies, nasties or plain deficits identified upstream, rectified and clearly not the fault of ATC design.I had som... | |
| Really need some help finding a full range speaker Audio Physics Classic 5 or others in the line. This is a very detailed imaging transducer. Surprised people all of the time. Smaller footprint with finishes to fit in well. | |
| Tweaking preamp and amp combination Have you squeezed the maximum performance out of the current system? Upgraded power cables, interconnects, decent equipment stand, power conditioner? I understood the original question. Having played this game for many decades, I find audiophil... | |
| Best cheap integrated amp <$500 new +1 Rega Brio. It is a lot of fun for the money. Solid build, robust sound and just plain musical. Simple functioning and love the shoebox design. I ran SA, B&W and Penaudio Cenya monitors with it. | |
| Recommendations for PC -- for modest system -- Cullen Crossover II if possible. The lower models are also excellent. | |
| What footers for Dunlavy V's Isoacoustics Gaia footers matched to weight of speaker. Carpet spikes needed if placed on carpet. | |
| Love to hear from current owners or past users of Isoacoustics Gaia footers. Gaia II mounted under ATC SCM 40 active with carpet spikes. These improved markedly the sound of an already world class speaker. Improvements are immediate and unquestionably audibly tangible. | |
| Best of compact audio systems I watched the two videos on Eikon Audio as I'm unfamiliar with the product. It may be fantastic, I honestly do not know. But.....it leaves me confused about all of what it is. Are the speakers amplified, bi-amplified and if so by what type of a... | |
| best power conditioners under 4k Unsure about 'best' option, but the Decware ZLC works well, is about 1K shipped and returnable. Spending copious quantities does not ensure results. | |
| An unusual problem Dynamat products are used to dampen the inside of car doors to quiet the inside of your car, improving the sound of car audio. This may work well to dampen the glass vibrations. There are also quilted blankets, woven with batting available, much... |
