| Question about RAM You got two 8 gig modules. For a mid-tier gaming, that amount of RAM (and the CL18 level) is fine. If you play online against other players, going to 32gig and CL16 will make a small, but noticeable difference, but only if you're bandwidth is up t... | |
| Glorious TuneTot ... ??? When I was looking for speakers, around 10K, I auditioned the TuneTots and found them to be thin sounding with a flat image. I thought the speakers were placed too far apart (they were a good 10 feet apart) and told the sales guy to move them clos... | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh I own 30.2's with a Class A amp. My suggestion is a combination of the above. Place the speakers closer to the walls if possible. Use Ton-Trager or similar stands, or what I did was put springs under my speakers, made a huge positive difference, a... | |
| Rell or JL subwoofer? I have the JL Audio 110's, never had any problems. I now use it for 100% music, and they sound great. When I did surround sound, they sounded fine also. I really appreciate the DSP, it really made setting it up and matching it to the main speaker... | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus Hot Tuna at Rutgers University in NJ. I sat with my right ear up against their wall of speakers and that ear has never recovered. I sometimes have tinnitus but luckily it’s not too bad. | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? I feel sorry for people who don't try new music, whether it's just new to them, new to the music genre, or a totally new music/artist. I'm lucky, I get help from my 10 year old niece to listen to new stuff. Stay connected to young people, it keeps... | |
| Female vocalist recommendations Great suggestions already, I'll add Mazzy Star, Rickie Lee Jones (the acoustic one if you need it to be totally mellow), Lucinda Williams, Lindi Ortega, Kelsea Ballerini, Phoebe Bridgers, Caitlin Canty, someone already mentioned Amber Rubarth and ... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC I have the MK1 and have been very happy with the sound and the quality. However, even though they had a really great upgrade deal for a short time, I decided to wait, this without even knowing about any hum problem. Some like to live on the edge. ... | |
| Every Music Genre Has The Blues @hotei Glad to see other Bromberg fans. Great musician who just simply enjoyed playing music. I've been to Charleston, but sadly I'm about 3,000 miles away now, and it doesn't sound like he'll be coming out my way. 77 really? Where do the years ... | |
| What to listen for? @russ69 True, it may not enhance the listening experience, for instance I hear guitar player hands moving up and down the neck all the time. But as @yyzsantabarbara mentions, it can bring you closer to the venue and performers. If you know of a ... | |
| Every Music Genre Has The Blues I thought David retired years ago from performing and is now running a violin/string instrument store. Where was the show? Did he perhaps play 'Send me to the 'lectric chair"? Jorma and David together, you are very lucky. Haven't seen either of ... | |
| Starter system The turntable is perfect for her. Plenty of under $75 cartridges available for it. Unless she really wants to have FM/AM (which I would doubt, she'll stream if not listening to vinyl), I'd suggest an integrated amp instead of a receiver, looking o... | |
| Power cord length @kingsleuy Now you've gone and done it, you've created a new standard....The TADC - Time Aligned Direct Current......coming soon to an audio manufacturer near you...... I think that's what the Doc used in Back to the Future to power his DeLorea... | |
| Are you getting the bass you deserve? Yes, replaced an old Velodyne with a JL Audio and it sounds great, blends well with my speakers, can't even tell it's there except for the added deep bass. | |
| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? Rihanna put on a great show at the SB! Who would you rather see, 80 year old Bob Dylan singing Blowing in the Wind? I am a big Dylan fan and I still wouldn't want to see that. It's 2023! Not the 60's or 70's. Anyway, I have two nieces under 30 t... |
