| Basic switch....should I upgrade? @wsrrsw StarLink is incredible technology! I am so happy it is working so well for you! And thanks for your reply. My last house was wired to the hilt with internet and cable, but sadly, this one is not. All the best. JD | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? @wsrrsw I am slightly cornfused. My internet comes into the house and goes to the Spectrum modem, then to a Netgear router. Are you not using a router and going straight to a network switch, or am I missing something? Thanks. JD | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm This might just be out of reach. So $58,000 for the arm. $75,000-$100,000 for a turntable. $10,000-$15,000 for a cartridge. A few thousand for cables. $10,000-$20,000 for a pre-preamp. A few thousand more for cables. And I’m still not ready to p... | |
| How much faster of a sub is the REL T5X vs SVS SB12-NSD Oh, I currently have a pair of Acoustat Model X’s and they still sound great! JD | |
| How much faster of a sub is the REL T5X vs SVS SB12-NSD I’ve had panel speakers since the 80’s and tried to buy or build subs to go with them and NONE are as fast as the panels. I built 7 prototypes ranging is sizes of both drivers and boxes. Used active and passive crossovers and all solid state power... | |
| Class D Integrated Amplifier Recommendations. @juanmanuelfangioii I know you said Class D, but there are some class AB amps out there in your price range. The Hegel H190 new ($4000) or the H390 used Are both terrific. I currently have the H390 and am very please with it. All the best. JD | |
| I'm at the pearly gates and they tell me I can only bring in one jazz cd I must be taking the down elevator, because I can’t choose just one. Maybe one artist?? I have thirty something Bill Evans albums. | |
| Audiophile Tool Bingo Fun thread @erik_squires Did anyone else mention a level? Every time I get new or change speaker locations, it’s the first thing I reach for. JD | |
| Keeping your components Dust Free With components, I use a feather duster often and caned air maybe twice a year. On my speakers, I use the same feather duster and Mothers once or twice a year. All the best. JD | |
| The review wehave been promising is up My biggest problem with the review,is that there’s nowhere for me to hear it and I’m not going to buy a 15K radio just on the words of one review. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio @curiousjim 👍 The Resonance issues are (most all) fantastic aren’t they. Do you have “Some Other Time” too. I think it’s my favorite of the Resonance issues. No I don’t, but I guess I’ll have to order it. Darn.😁 | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio Thanks for the welcome back! “You must believe in spring”, is another great album. I just got “Under Current” and “Another Time”. There’s just something about the way he “Tickles The Ivory’s “ that I really enjoy! I also just g... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Just picked up a couple of albums by Hiromi. Voice, and Spark are the names of the albums. Modern/Fusion jazz. I’m really enjoying them. | |
| Fact or misinformation? I haven’t had a mono cartridge since the early seventies and have never had an issue. All the best. | |
| Do you consider cables to be a "component" of your system? I’ve updated my interconnects 4-5 times in 40 years. I’ve updated my speaker cables 3-4 times in the same period. I didn’t really start with power cords until much more recently, mostly because everything I owned was hard wired. All the best. |
