| Life of KT 150 Tubes It really seems odd that one tube blew on each monoblock at the same time. Assuming the tubes are wired in series, was it the same tube that blew on both? JD | |
| A cable question, sort of... I’m not an electrician, but I played one on TV! Sheesh guys. @kijanki is correct. There is a difference between one wire coiled and two wires coiled. Speaker wire can also be called speaker cable. But as @millercarbon said early on, with low fr... | |
| Acoustic question @grannyring , Thanks for the tip. My speakers are sitting on some polished granite (old countertop) and I’ve put painters tape on the granite with marks every half inch. I’m still adding sound dampening as well. JD | |
| What to play in the evening? Jazz, Miles Davis, jazz, BIll Evans, jazz, Art Pepper, jazz Art Farmer, jazz, Art Blakey, jazz, Hank Mobley, jazz…… | |
| Acoustic question @grannyring, “I also found I had to pull the right speaker about .5 inches closer.” Closer to what? | |
| Acoustic question Thanks Erik, I was kinda thinking of you when I asked the question. I’m to cheap for Roon, but minidsp is in the back of my mind. I was going to start with a couple of 2’x4’ sound absorbing panels on each side and see where to go from there. Wh... | |
| Do you spend more time analyzing the sound of your system, worrying it could be better? Yes, I have tunes on at least 4 hours a day, but I’m still putting the final touches on the new system, but a streamer might be coming and if so, what cables will I use? than what streaming service will I use? Then… JD | |
| Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers? Not me. My Integrated cost $6000, might change this year. And my Speakers cost $20.000 JD | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I didn’t move from, I set up a second system. I was either going to get a Luxman or a Hegel. I ended up getting a Hegel H390. It plays Tidal without a separate streamer and the built in DAC is pretty good. All the Best. JD | |
| Best cable for record cleaner, ever Acme rocks, or rockets or anvils or… Beep Beep! JD | |
| Sometimes you have to change you It always amazes and confuses me that I can listen to an album on Monday and love it and then listen again on Thursday and Meh, it does nothing for me. JD | |
| Just a public call out Congratulations @telemarcer on your purchase’s. I hope you find years of happiness. JD | |
| Mogami 2921 vs Canare 4s11 vs ??? “Don't crush that dwarf, hand me the wire strippers.” @mwinkc , Hot Buttered Groat Clusters. 😁😆😜 | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? Maybe some things have become out of control, but has ARC ever been cheap? Or how about McIntosh? Heck I took out a loan on my first large speakers. The used Bozak B’s were mine for 24 easy monthly payments. JD | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? I’ve had Planar speakers since the early eighties and still have a pair of Acoustat Model X’s. The midrange and the High-end are fabulous! The low-end, while accurate, has no push to it. If I play the beginning of DSOTM loud, the heart beat goes ... |
