| Looking for wider soundstage Try for a smaller triangle and remember, the triangle is just a starting place. My speakers are 8’ apart, center to center and my listening position is about 9’ from the speakers. Also, see what you can do about the couch. Most speakers need room ... | |
| Integrated Amp Suggestions $5000 -$10000 250wpc @8ohm minimum That’s the Hegel H390 to the “T”! All the best. JD | |
| What do you use to keep high gloss speakers clean? I’ve used mother’s maybe twice a year, but for weekly touch ups, I have a smallish feather duster. All the best. JD | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy For a starter streamer, I give another vote for the new Bluesound Node. The software is very easy to use. I’ve had one for about 5 months now and am pretty happy with it. All The Best. JD | |
| Sharing my experience with cables +1 @ghdprentice I have definitely heard difference’s on my amplifier with different power cords, but little to none on my streamer or either CD player/transports. All the best. JD | |
| Cable recommandations Buy used is the first thing. I currently have two systems. One has AQ Rocket 88 speaker wires and the other has some 30 year old silver coated, copper 12 gauge wire. I have switched them several times and can always tell there’s a difference. W... | |
| Best sounding Beatles Vinyl from tape Following. I’ve always wondered how they could mix and remix tapes to tapes and have so little tape noise and this was in the analog 60’s. | |
| Trojan VIRUS Reported - Beware Thanks for the tip, but I quit opening any emails from people or places I don’t recognize. If Music Direct or Audio Research get hacked I could be in trouble. | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media My limited experience with streaming and CD’s has taught me one thing, if you run your CD transport and your streamer through the same DAC, they are going to sound a lot alike. That includes CD’s that have been ripped to a hard drive. All the bes... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media @bkeske Great great album!! | |
| New Hemingway Audio Power Cables WORLD's BEST ??? Alas I will never know. I asked my wife if I could put a $18,000.00 power cord on my $8000.00 amp and she asked some very good questions and then said NFW! | |
| Gregg Allman .......I cannot believe it has been 5 years. @garebear I whole heartedly agree with you about Dickie Betts being an amazing guitar player, but brother Duane’s passing really changed the band. I think I’m going to listen to Idlewildsouth now. | |
| Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY So sorry that Ohm is way off their game! I can tell you the Tall 3000 would work great in your space as they are some of the easiest speakers to set up. Having said that, my patience would have worn way thin by now and I would have moved on. Wha... | |
| Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism @milpai, I wish it was easier to put up pictures here. I’d be glad to show pictures. All the best. JD | |
| Cable Quality vs Customer Service Thanks @guakus, @soix, I will check out Lavricable. Email sent. JD |
