| 55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey OP - As everyone (except a numpty saying it's too big as you can't see all the screen at once!! How far are you watching at - 3 feet?!) has said to you, go as big as you can. You will get used to a 65" in minutes. Get a 55" and within those same m... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? OP - as almost everyone is telling you - don't use the/any resitors. They kill transparency/detail and the 'life' of the music. Look elsewhere. As almost everyone is telling you - the amp is VERY important with Maggies. You may be a Naim fanboy,... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which? @cey - I agree - this is not a 'normal' scenario for these. I'd be looking at other things to tame what you're hearing down a tad, maybe speaker cable, definitely the Naim 122X - an awful cheap n nasty piece of equipment, as I found out when I bou... | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. OP - tkrxx - Simple, because that type of equipment and connections you propose sounds far far inferior to a seperates system which needs cables. Question sounds like click bait to me! Nonsensical. | |
| Toe in is crucial As @ghdprentice says - "Proper toe-in is definitely one of the critical basics of speaker placement", which I am in complete agreement. But one thing which no-one has mentioned; and that's to look at what YOUR speaker maker recommends, and start t... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! @laoman - If you like the 'convenience' (!!) of finding/cleaning/putting on a CD, then you'd be gobsmaked at the real convenience of choosing music from your chair, and playing it within seconds of deciding what you want to listen to. @sns - 100%... | |
| Audio Research Pre-Amp advice @cleeds - thanks, but what exactly is 'critical'? What part does it play - my Ref3 seems to use SS rectification, so is the 6550 the supply voltage for the 6H30 in the PS, or does it do something else? 2000hrs seems a very very low figure for repl... | |
| Audio Research Pre-Amp advice @romad - If you can't stretch to a 28SE, go for the vanilla 28. Don't bother with a 27 or anything earlier, especially things like LS15/16. save your money and wait for the SE IMO. Here's a link to a REALLY useful site which gives lots of info ab... | |
| Audio Research Pre-Amp advice @ghdprentice - I get what you're saying about working. If you only used it for <1hr, then you've never heard it at it's best, and I'm sure you'd have had a better experience with a SS amp that warms up much quicker. I wouldn't even consider ser... | |
| Audio Research Pre-Amp advice Some rather strange responses and comments here! OP - I would have thought not many, if any, dealer would keep a 7yr old product on Dem (unless it's still current in the lineup, which I don't know). And what's your problem with the valve complime... | |
| Aragon Amps any good for Planars? @burnside9806 STOP using UPPERCASE for all text! It's bad etiquette, and means you are SHOUTING!! | |
| Planar Speakers and Diffusors I've used planar type speakers for over 40 years, so I'm very aware of the issues with setup and room. Currently using Maggie 1.7i's in a 22' x 16' room with a 9' ceiling. generally it sounds very good. I also have a large(ish) TV (65") in between... | |
| Preamp vs Av receiver preouts @carlsbad2 - Jerry, you’re on the right track, but I’m not sure the Anthem will like, or work correctly, using two inputs from different sources. The correct way of doing things, and I have extensive and recent experience of doing this, as I want... | |
| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? @jay15206 That is a very interesting comment. Interesting as I too have Tinnitus which also manifests itself as a hissing, rather than a 'tone'. I also took Gabapentin for about a 9 Month period c10yrs ago, and although not sure, I do seem to reme... | |
| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? @omegaman79 Neither I nor @evanpress were 'speaking' about YOUR grammar, but the appaling writing that exists, in general, by several regular, and some less regular, posters on here. I don't know how you get to hear an 18KHz tone through your PC/... |
