| How to test speaker cables by ChatGPT What chatGPT did is dropped the word Audiophile leaving the rest the same. After all cables should NOT by ANY possible means bring ANY differences. The more neutral-the better. | |
| Memory foam as bass treatment? Maan, I noted that memory foam can be used for just about anything except the mattress. It is very uncomfortable -- strip it and use it for whatever! | |
| Baffling Tube Preamp Problem--Rhythmic Thumping after Tube Replacement If B supply resistor blows, that huge voltage will be applied at bias cap and destroy it. It acts like circuit protection in a such weird way that cap will go bad as well. Upon visual you will see that cap bubbled, but B supply resistor is the fir... | |
| Let's share key moments in our musical lives 1. When I was 5, I found phonograph trophy from WW2 and dialed the spring to play it and it played for a while, than heard loud pop inside the box and playing stopped. The spring snapped out. I try to get inside the box and the spring popped out s... | |

| Baffling Tube Preamp Problem--Rhythmic Thumping after Tube Replacement @oddiofyl they don't mind providing schematics of the amps. That's how I fixed mine when I had it. After fixing and observing unacceptable built quality, I've decided to sell my MB100. | |
| Baffling Tube Preamp Problem--Rhythmic Thumping after Tube Replacement I've fixed Manley. They have very primitive bias circuits without much of protection. Extremely poor design for all of his units including the BIG ones. So far the issue seems like tubes and caps going away in the power amp, not preamp. | |
| Older subwoofers better than newer subwoofers! Unsure about subwoofers, but subs at Firehouse Sub used to be a lot better. When I watched Travelers Canadian Sci-Fi TV series, It was extremely notable to me that travelers from the far future were craving food from the past. | |
| Baffling Tube Preamp Problem--Rhythmic Thumping after Tube Replacement In VTLs bad tube can take away few elements around it such as resistors and caps. Test/replace, because your new tube and circuit board are in jeopardy. | |
| Amapiano Music Made of very trivial house beats, don't find here any new genre. Great background tunes tho | |
| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops @lewm I noted lots of modern pressings aren't that quiet and sometimes reveal surface noise and even deep warps. | |
| Casual listening Always looking for new interesting music no matter how it's recorded poor or good and always looking for undiscovered old music no matter how it's recorded poor or good. For me listening is not analyzing how it's recorded, but analyzing how it's... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often My speakers are highly inefficient, but very easy to drive with Sunfire amp. Will that work for Hifi? | |
| Solid copper or stranded copper for speaker cables? What is your choice and why? solids do better in general, but there are inconveniences of inflexibility especially if you intend to disconnect and move your components around. | |
| New Outlets Lead to Better Sounding and Tasting Coffee I'm straight into the tea and sometimes drive dozen miles to friend with well on property to get well water for my tea. Water from the plastic bottles even if it has high-end price tag would not work. Must be running FRESH water only. Besides th... |
