| Are you interested in the new generation of "old school" design loudspeakers? Yes, love big speaker sound. I rediscovered that sound with the lintons, and now with ls3/6. You can't cheat physics. I do not think i will go with slim towers again. | |
| Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room? The 901 owners that i have crossed always reported that they sound better when the back is turned toward the listener... Go figure. | |
| Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options? I have used hockey pucks between spikes and carpet, not so much for vibration but to elevate the speaker height. Now hockey puck with furniture pads (hardware store) underneath= poor man's gaya. | |
| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects 7awg.... I can't imagine how flexible this garden hose is. Hopefully it won't break the connectors. | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature III — video review on YouTube by Steve Guttenberg (1/15/2023) I have had the 2ce signature in the past and loved them! I just thought that tilting them just right was a pain in the neck. And they were heavy. Also, I do not understand why they still dress them up in socks. They could look decent undressed,... | |
| Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up Same here... With the little soundartist el-34, 4hrs is needed to sound best. | |
| Warm Sounding Cable And for less, canare 4s11. | |
| Help me choice Audioquest speaker cables @jetter +1. The smartest way to play with cables. The 4s11, 4s8 by canare are affordable references. | |
| Cables recommendation @jasonbourne52 Cconnect 4ohm speakers using a 12ft aluminium/copper cable cable of 18awg, listen to your favorite track, and then listen again with a high purity copper of 10awg. Let us know what you think! | |
| JBL L100 Classic 75's - Thoughts, Impressions, Serial Numbers Are you all still enjoying your l100? I am thinking about pulling the trigger on these at some point. I currently listen to Stirling BBC LS3/6, which are wonderful, but for a change, I am tempted to have the JBLs. | |
| Usb cable recommendation I picked up a basic wireworks USB 2.0 cable for less than $20 as I recall. I don't think it can make a difference in my system but at least wirewold isolate the power line from signal line if that is important. isolate | |
| Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!! toslink is a connector terminating an optical fiber. Optical fiber is the number one technology in the world to transfer data. | |
| Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!! As you can see, it depends who you ask - for me, optical has typically worked better than coax in the past 20 years. | |
| Advise Needed About PS Audio M 700 Mono Block and Parasound A21 It’s definitely worth the try, but I would be concerned about the ps audio exacerbating the focal brightness. I guess it all depends also on the pre-amp and source.... And taste! | |
| Best XLRs under $500 a pair I know it’s not boutique but the belden 1800f with the best neutrik should not be overlooked. This cable brings a higher level of clarity and control than a canare 4es6 between my pre and amp. Given this difference, I cannot imagine something tha... |
