| McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound Well UCDMAC you asked an interesting question a year-and-a-half ago and were told yes fuses do matter, no fuses don't matter and everything in between. Did you ever try any fuses in your system? If so what's your opinion? | |
| Best progressive rock album side So many good ones already listed. I'd add ELP Trilogy | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle @boxcarman. , OP I was surprised at the improvement when I put Shunyata SR-Z1 outlets in to replace the standard home wall outlets. Clearer and fuller sound. Maybe because they grip better or use better materials, but either way I'm happy with th... | |
| $1000 (used ok) Streamer Dac recommendation please Naim nDac is an amazing DAC | |
| Kef LS50s - great like me but need to come up for air LMartinez, It sounds like you are looking for bigger cabinets for a fuller sound. I'm concerned that you might be disappointed with a more laid back speaker. Have you considered Focal? Focals typically have good balanced sound and should match we... | |
| To extend Ethernet to remote location, are Powerline extenders or Mesh systems better? As background.... I'm using a Netgear range extender to feed my Streamer (and 2Tb HDD) unit and that has worked well for years. There's not much else working off the range extender so it has plenty of bandwidth for the streamer. As far as audio q... | |
| How to tame a bright system? Aniwolf +1 While cost isn’t everything, it is something. An ok $599streamer into a $2.5k interconnect and $12.6k DAC means that you are hearing everything (good and bad) that the streamer is producing. Put another way, at $599 they can only spen... | |
| How do you enhance a bad listening room's accoustics without breaking the bank? thoughts? The best room treatment for me was done by accident! My parents had a very dense hand-woven wool rug that they didn’t use anymore. Cost them around $5-6k and is beautiful so I didn’t want to get rid of it. It was nearly the size of my listening r... | |
| New cables - To judge now or after burn in period? dcpillai, It seems pretty evident from this thread that break in matters in Siltech cable performance. I use Siltech's and have found that even used ones need a good 50 hours to settle in after they've been moved /shipped.I'm curious what you have... | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? This is a massively complex question. It sounds like you want to build a high end system from scratch which can be a big job, particularly with the reduced number of dealers. I'd find an audio dealer whose taste runs to your own and begin the work... | |
| Who will soon be going to a live concert? Wife and I saw George Thorogood last week in a place with about 400 seats. It may have been the most fun I've had at a concert in my life! GT was in great form. Masks were required, but that didn't matter to the experience. Glad to be able to get ... | |
| What did I buy? A regular CJ EV1 or a teflon capacitor upgraded EV1 Yes, you can call CJ and ask if they've upgraded that unit. Have the serial number handy. | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? I would like to add to the CJ Art Stereo 150 wpc tube amp that made me stop looking.....I started putting my current system together in earnest in about 1994 and in a few years I had a CJ PV12 pre-amp, MV-55 tube amp, Rega Planar 3 w/ Exact cart, ... | |
| Sub placement How have you set the phase delay on your subwoofer?. I have a feeling that the reason you like the placement (further back from the speakers) now is because you've got the phase delay matched at that distance so that the subwoofer signal is in pha... | |
| Thinking of adding a sub---maybe not? I would also suggest that you consider JL Audio subs. I use a pair of e112's that are great, but your dealer can help pick the best for your system. |
