| GO CHIEFS !! Lol, When the Rams came to Saint Louis, you couldn’t hear yourself think for most of the game. By the third year, you could. And by the fifth year, you could hear a pin drop because there was little to cheer for. So now the Rams have rebuilt ag... | |
| GIK Vicoustic and others I’d insulate because it’s the basement, but no need for double drywall. Another place to put insulation is in the ceiling, it will definitely cut down on the noise complainants from upstairs 😁 All the best. JD | |
| Buyer Dispute @kirbymydog, File with PayPal and make sure Agon knows what’s going on as well. You have been way to patient in my opinion! The seller isn’t going to own up to anything or buy you a set of tweeters either. So sorry you have to go through all th... | |
| Oh Ye of Little Format I’ve done the same test and we were all over the place with our answers. So many albums are poorly recorded, so it doesn’t matter what the format. “you can t make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.” All the best. JD | |
| High End Intergraded comparisons, Marantz, McIntosh, Levinson, Luxman.... I have the Hegel H390 powering KEF Reference 5’s and get more than enough slam on most tunes and for those that I more, I have a subwoofer. But honestly, I rarely use it. All the best. | |
| Eva Cassiday Blew Me Away with her cover of Wayfaring Stranger.... I have Nightbird and her greatest hits. Money well spent! JD | |
| your first system- My first system was two mismatched Sherwood tube amps ( kits, one 15 watts the other 25 watts) a Garrard TT and a pair of speakers with 8” drivers, I built into some bookshelves in my bedroom. All the best. JD | |
| Fascinated By GR Research Channel I agree he doesn’t seem to push his products hard at all. It also would appear that if you are the first to send him a particular brand and model to play with, he will do the upgrades for free. This helps everyone in the long run. All the best Da... | |
| Marantz HD CD-1 Good News Bad News @tweak1 , I guess the thing that has been keeping me from from trying one out is the slot drive. While it’s been a while, I did have issues with both a home and auto CD player doing bad things to my disks. JD | |
| Marantz HD CD-1 Good News Bad News @tweak1 , I’ve been following your thread, cause I’m about to need a new transport. I have an Oppo and a professional Sony deck from the mid nineties and the Sony sounds hands down so much better than the Oppo, but a couple of months ago, I press... | |
| Describe your preference in a single sentence Intimate, Trio, Quartet, or Quintet. | |
| Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all? Damnit @yogiboy, I just spit my coffee all over the table! lol JD | |
| Auto-Tune, Snake Oil, Fuses, Cables, Room Correction, Best DAC, Measurements & Tekton 😀 😆😁 | |
| Which DAC in the chain is playing? @hleeid , I have a Hegel H390 and a Pontus ll. If you put the Pontus in a “Dac-Loop” everything will bypass the Hegel’s dac and only use the Pontus ll. Check out the Hegel manual. All the best. JD | |
| 2 vs 8 tubes in preamp, sound difference? My ARC SP9 mkll has two tubes in it. One for the preamp and one for the phono section. It was my daily driver until recently, but now maybe once a week. All the best. JD |
