| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System Oz, So sorry you had a bad experience! I know I’d be excited to hear all the cool toys I’ve read about! And I’d be really bummed if they didn’t live up to the hype. There’s probably fifty reasons for the lack of treble. The first thing that ca... | |
| Has new music gone down the tubes? There’s still a lot of new music being produced. From Ringo Star to Taylor Swift to My new favorite, Stone Rebel. I don’t know what genre of music you listen to, but even in Jazz there are current artists making new albums. Another favorite is Gre... | |
| Not Chinese Fakes But Not big $$$ Either @bigtwin Beautiful speaker! I’ve been a fan of panel speakers since the late seventies and still have a pair of Acoustat’s. But tell me, why are the 745’s so heavy? Thanks. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Prog Rock. They have several albums out and so far, I’ve enjoyed them all. | |
| Not Chinese Fakes But Not big $$$ Either Nice work! I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts in a few weeks. | |
| Nobosound Springs So I just ordered a set of Nobsound springs from Amazon and they will be here Thursday I’ll try them under the Hegel first and if I notice a difference, they will stay and if not, I’ll try them under the DAC. | |
| Nobosound Springs Never used Nobosound springs, but I did put Isoacoustics Gaia’s on my speakers and there was an immediate change in the presentation. I was thinking of putting some of their pucks under my amp, but haven’t as of yet. | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps In the seventies, I started out with tube amps & preamps. Then I kept the tube preamp, but went to a SS amp. Then I went all Hafler preamps and amps. Then I went back to all tube, until last year. For the first time, I went Class AB, SS inte... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @ozzy It’s funny you mention about the bass, because I turned off the subwoofer by the second song. | |
| DH Labs @ericsch The DH replaced a no name USB between my streamer and DAC. | |
| Open Baffle Experience @erik_squires I’ve had Maggie’s, Ohm F’s and I still have Acoustat model X’s and they do project the sound differently. Many times I’d swear the music was coming from behind me. I’m not sure it’s exactly the same as the Spatial Audio’s, but I su... | |
| Pleasurably better, not measurably better @bhvf That probably goes to you and @curiousjim's posts above about garage systems and old receivers. If that's what brings them joy, so be it. They probably spend money on something I will never understand why someone would spend money on also... | |
| SPL when designing Like @erik_squires said, there are many possible issues, but if you have a DSP there will be a lot less! Let us know what you do. | |
| Gallagher has passed away. I saw him once and was smart enough to not buy tickets in the first five rows, or so I thought. I still got splattered! RIP | |
| DH Labs Thanks to Juan @blisshifi , I’m the happy owner of a DH Lab’s, Silver Sonic USB cable. |
