| Minimum Power Needed to Drive Klipsch Cornwall IVs? - Considering Erhard_Audio Ray @katokaelin Obviously many diverse opinions here. One qualifier to my prior comments. The system I use the Ray in, with my significantly less efficient speakers, provided plenty of juice for all of the music I used that system for BUT when I h... | |
| Flexible Power Cords Highly suggest Supra Lorad 2.5 if you are into DIY. Super flexible, affordable, high performance cable. Custom make all your cables to the exact size you want. | |
| Minimum Power Needed to Drive Klipsch Cornwall IVs? - Considering Erhard_Audio Ray I have the Ray in a secondary system driving Omega monitors in a larger room and it has plenty of punch. I never felt it lacking in wattage or limited in that regard. I use the built in passive pre and have done some upgrades with Miflex coupli... | |
| Seeking Budget CD Player Suggestions As above. The actual mechanical transport/laser can be very affordable if you are into DIY (do not know about the McIntosh unit but Marantz/Denon traverse units are not too difficult to replace) -----if you can locate a source. One would hope a ... | |
| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder @jhnnrrs Hey, I never said I endorsed the product. I said I would not trust "wire re-distributers" any more than I would trust Hagerman. Have you never heard "hokey pseudo-scientific word salad slinger" verbiage to endorse a cable?? | |
| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder Not sure I would trust "high end" cable manufacturers more than than this down to earth designer. | |
| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder Interesting. I have always been skeptical of such devices. But when it comes from someone that makes (from what I have read) some fine high value gear, I pause and wonder. He also makes a similar unit for IC's, amps, etc. Unlike units that sho... | |
| LTA Ultralinear Plus Integrated vs. Pass Labs XA25/EAR 868pl Two members with divergent views----yet civil! Thank you gentleman. | |
| Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question Never heard the Yamaha. What I recall reading is a somewhat brighter house sound to this brand. Also thought I read about reliability concerns--do some research there. The only thing I don't like with the Denon is the (often typical) small disp... | |
| Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question @plasticspoon8 As I type I am listening to that exact SACD player. It is a solid player with neutral sound--the Marantz sound may be a touch on the warmer side of neutral. They are both excellent players but a new Denon 1600ne is a killer bargai... | |
| Room Treatment suppliers Suggest you check out Audimute. | |
| Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them? My favorite speaker of all time was bought without a demo BUT it was based on much feedback that in one case included a common denominator (Magnepan 1.7) that we both had owned and which served as a reference point. The new speaker exceeded expec... | |
| 15 in full range drivers That is simply not true. Blanket statements should always raise a red flag. | |
| 3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it? No worries, my advice would still stand. Keep in mind some gear can measure very very well and be quite sterile and unexciting. If after extended listening you love a given speaker without reservation--that's all that really matters in the end. ... | |
| 3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it? Trust your ears. As a musician you have a huge advantage in that your brain is very familiar with live music. Don't become like the rest of us that become hypercritical about things that in the end are not so important. Listen to a broad sampli... |
