Streamer question
mahler123I had the Bryston BDP3.  Sounds great but buggy, very difficult to operate.  Sold it to pay for my MelcoThat's interesting. What you describe was my experience with Aurender. I dumped it in favor of the Bryston BDP-3, which has worked ve... 
What is the sound level of Your Listening Room?
mijostynIf you are listening to vinyl it would be difficult for normal environmental background noise to supersede vinyl background noise.You must have a very noisy turntable system! The more you post about your vinyl playback - excessive rumble... 
Audio Engineering Society and cables
millercarbonNo $hit $herlock. Who here wants to pay $33 for the pleasure of reading pages of dippy geeky word salad all to learn what we already know?This is just freakin’ unnecessarily abusive, guy. People here should be free to post within the f... 
Contact -enhancer, fuses - NOS 1260 High fidelity audio cables
paulyThis is going to sound a little weird, but are you willing to do a taste test on the 1260?Perhaps we'll wait for you to do that first, Mikey.  
How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration
mijostyn... Unfiltered the subwoofers will gladly try to reproduce this. They are not projecting any "sound" into the room. They are no where near large enough to produce those frequencies but, if there is an electrical signal at 8 Hz they wil... 
How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration
mijostyn@cleeds , that is right, flat to 20 hz at 1 meter. There is no full range loudspeaker I know of capable of reproducing the bottom two octaves in your average room at realistic levels ...You obviously never heard an Infinity IRS Beta sy... 
Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people.
benklesc ... We should also note that is a myth that reel to reel heads wear. Yes the metal heads used on professional decks wear but then they are still manufacturing new heads for pro decks. What's your point? First you say one thing, then ... 
Gimbal vs unipivot tonearms
mijostynGinmal arms or arms with two axis bearings if done correctly are superior.That's opinion stated as fact, even though Mijostyn and I do share rather a distaste for unipivot arms. I've always found it creepy the way they wobble about, which... 
How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration
mijostyn@cleeds , you obviously have no experience with powerful subwoofers and turntables ...You’re half-right - I don’t use powerful subwoofers. I use a full-range speaker system that is essentially flat in-room to below 20 hZ. The problem is no... 
How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration
mijostyn... It means that vibration is getting to the sub chassis in spite of the suspension either through a poorly designed suspension or directly vibrating the sub chassis ... Not necessarily. If this is an Oracle Delphi (the OP doesn't say ... 
Townshend Maximum Supertweeters
mijostynHere is a perfect example of some people liking the addition of gross distortion to their systems. These distortion synthesizers have useful output down to 10 kHz which is audible and will make a system sound brighter.Nice try, but a prope... 
Complete Proprietary Systems
mikelavigne... at the bottom of the market in the mid-fi-low hifi range there are a number of brands that offer the whole range. but mostly they don’t build much, it’s all OEM stuff from China (like much of the MacIntosh line up) ...Nonsense... 
testing a crossover
millercarbonYou have a dead short. They worked when connected normally because then the amp sees the sum total resistance including the 6.8-7.9 ohms. But connected bi-wire one amp sees only a dead short and so pop, there she goes.Nope. You'r... 
Nova Power Cord Model (M101 silver) Review
thecarpathianAre you freaking kidding me??!!!I ask "how do you hear a blank groove?", and it gets deleted!!??That had to be a mistake. Send a note to the moderators and they'll fix it.  
Cable for AudioQuest Niagara 1200
birdymaker... I tried a Analysis Plus Ultimate Power Oval 10 AWG cord. I found that with this cord it caused the voltage to be restricted by about 5-6 volts ...The only way a 10AWG cable could have this much resistance is if it's defective.
