| 13.2, 5.1 and so on. "the best seat in the house" I tried for years to use a 5.1 system for stereo, spent big money on speakers and electronics (Macintosh-Anthem-Lexicon), that had "2-Channel Stereo" as an option, never sounded good unless video was playing. Finally gave up and got a nice two cha... | |
| Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music @pokey77 Glad to turn a few folks on to Music-map. I understand wanting to find new music vs. music that's the same. I listen to new stuff for three reasons, 1) Keep current and show my 12 Year old Niece I'm not some old guy listening to a lot o... | |
| Ideal USB cable length, streamer to DAC? I have read USB should be under 2 feet, there was some gobble-gook about why. I never compared, but since a shorter usb is cheaper anyway, I went with the recommendation. | |
| Best sounding FM table radio ever made... +1 @jasonbourne52 On both your comments. I sold the Koss back then, might be hard to find now. Second best was the Bose (honestly! They actually made some good stuff once in a while). I miss WNEW, especially The Nightbird, her segue's were amaz... | |
| Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music I use the website music-map.com - try it out. | |
| Speakers with deep/powerful bass I used to sell those big 15 inch Cerwin Vega's in the 1980's - sold them with the massive Pioneer/Sansui/Marantz receivers back then. I probably account for hundreds of people losing most of their hearing at a young age. But man did Stairway to He... | |
| Warm and accurate bookshelves that can handle volume I own the Harbeth 30.2's and I can get them quite loud without any break up, provided the amp can output clean wattage. No fatigue at all, warm does not necessarily mean colored. I find B&W's a bit bright (only my opinion), but they are clean ... | |
| Practice Amp for use with Headphones advice I would choose the Fender for pedals, but if you are only concerned about how it sounds with headphones, then @jasonbourne52 is right, you really won't hear a difference. By the way, I use Grado headphones with my amp, sounds great. I've tried ot... | |
| Over or under? - Standmount isolation I have my Harbeth 30.2's (Larger, but similar to your Rodgers) on 28 inch stands on hardwood floors. I have springs between the speakers and the stands. I have a sub on the same floor and put springs under it also. It made a nice difference, a bit... | |
| But is it HiFi? (Crown) Although I’m not familiar with that model, I sold Crown and most models sounded great for stereo systems, you got a great deal and yes, you can basically get what you paid for them even years from now. | |
| Dan D'Agostino Black or Silver? I usually agree with Fuzztone, but all my equipment is silver. Black was popular a few years back. It’ll probably come back in style - much like Fuzztone 😁 seriously, I don’t think color has much to do with resale, so whatever you like is what yo... | |
| Innovative Autio in NYC just hung up on me Audio stores complain about not having customers, yet I've run into the biggest jerks and posers, you know the type, they treat you like you're stupid, and they know everything, or they immediately assume your just shopping and treat you like dirt... | |
| Improvement over 2002 Denon AVR-3802 for 2 Channel Music System Wow, you sound like me about 3 years ago. I had a highly rated Denon AVR which I switched from using as surround-sound, which sounded fine, to use as a two channel. It was awful. I had several very good two channel systems in the past, and the Den... | |
| Tia Blake And Her Folk Group - Reissue Thanks for the info on Tia. Listening to her now. | |
| Subwoofer boom is too much for me... +1 @baylinor I switched from ported (for literally 25 years) to sealed and am much happier with the sound. |
