| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? terry9The shield should be connected to the component with the most robust ground, which is often the amplifier.I'm not sure what you mean by "robust ground." A good ground has low resistance and low impedance and - unless there's something amis... | |
| Two Subs? There are advantages to having multiple subs. One is that it’s easier to integrate a pair of subs into a room than one single sub. Another is that the notion that all bass is mono and omnidirectional is really a myth. There is such a thing as ster... | |
| Is there actually a difference? twoleftears... not a huge difference between competent SS designs, despite the supposed chasms that audio reviewers like to dwell on and rhapsodize about ...The problem with opaque criticism such as this is that labeling something a "huge diff... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I had no idea we had such horn aficionados here. Regardless of what might be the best horn solo of all time, this guy’s CD brings the instrument to a whole different level. He’s brilliant. | |
| 120v to 240v Adapter to power Amp in USA Unless you plan on keeping this amplifier forever, I'd seek a simpler solution, such as finding an amp that works with your domestic 120VAC | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? innaThere is more than just losing highs with dolby - sound loses fullness. Tape hiss is inevitable but can be minimized ...There’s always been a lot of confusion and misinformation about Dolby NR. Assuming a quality deck and tape that have been ... | |
| Room correction, DSP for dummies. grannyringRemove the room’s impact as much as possible and the speaker is free to be what it was intended to be....a high fidelity instrument.That doesn't quite make sense, because audiophile speakers aren't designed to be used in an anechoic ch... | |
| Replacing fuse john421 Would replacing an 6.3A SLO BLO fuse with an 8 SLO BLO fuse be ok? If the component was designed to be used with a 6.3A slo-blo, then that is the correct fuse to use for replacement. Usually, the correct fuse size is noted on the back of t... | |
| XLR out on a tuner? celanderGiven the price point of this tuner, I strongly suspect it is running its XLR outputs in an “unbalanced” configuration (that is, both return and shield are running to ground, like in a RCA interconnect)That is extremely unlikely because if... | |
| Is Social Media the demise of audio review publications? Social media has certainly brought changes to conventional media, but traditional media lives on. CNN, the New York Times, Stereophile ... each serve an audience. There's just so much nonsense on social media. It's a lot of worthless content to ha... | |
| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? analogluvr... Once you pass a certain price level it's about status and bling, not sound quality ...What price is that for amplifiers, for example? What about speakers? What about turntables? | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? innaOn another note, Willy really upset me last time ... next time I am not sure I will ship the deck to him, maybe to Soundsmith. Wow. You don't like Willy. You don't like ES Labs. If you're not nice to Soundsmith, you risk running out of co... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? teo_audioI think that today is just ....one of those days. I actually feel sorry for these people. They can't possibly be happy. | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? Thanks, @inna and @clearthink for your warm and kind words. | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? inna... His 'overhaul' is not at all ES Labs overhaul who literally completely disassemble and reassemble decks and claim to make them like new or better. But they charge thousands, so I told them to go to hell. Really? You tell people to go ... |
