| Amplifier warm up @aeschwartzIt appears your A21+ amp is consuming 1-watt on StandBy mode, and its very possible you’ll hear a difference after 2+hrs of warmup-play, sure. I tested a smaller A23+ a few months back and it sounded better after 1-2hrs. Most good Class... | |
| Adding a sub woofer? @hilde45, Duke,Take this with a grain of salt. Varies by the listening room. While I prefer stereo subs, it’s all room dependent IMO. Phase and frequency cancelation at varying lower frequencies "can" occur with two, particularly in uneven odd sh... | |
| Soundlab Dynastats @thermals1If they are the 6’ tall Dynastat version less than 2’ wide, maybe 3" thick, and can be bi-wired..., they may benefit from really good solid state amplification. Placement and direction towards the listener can also be room and amplificat... | |
| Desire to try tubes @bilyeauxbrew...Added a Bluesound node 2i as well only listening to Pandora though. I have no reference to options as I’ve only owned Hereseys and never heard a tube amp in a home and am very curious if a tube pre-amp would be a big plus? ...Many ... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 speakers (asking for a friend) Hello All, the experience and added use-case scenarios will be passed along. Interesting placement variation so far with the different room sizes. Thanks. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 speakers (asking for a friend) @gdnrbob, thanks, yeah he does sell them both (speakers and the same amps). Across the US though, maybe he can drop-ship later. Same answer as usual I guess, won't know until we try them in our rooms on our setups. Thx. :) | |
| FANFARE FM TUNERS ???? WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM ?? An old flashback review on fmtunerinfo, and not sure if i agree with some of it fwiw https://www.fmtunerinfo.com/FT-1review.pdf | |
| FANFARE FM TUNERS ???? WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM ?? Hey will, I had a B&K TS-108 FM tuner, made by Fanfare for B&K, who reportedly was located right next door to BK back then. Was okay for the low cost, rated fair on the fm tuner shootout. As others already suggested, I too much preferred m... | |
| Poor Fritz Maybe start a more positive thread with something other than Poor Fritz, and redirect attention there. A request to a moderator could delete this one. | |
| Poor Fritz "Amps make no difference. I have heard dozens of amps at home and in stores. Cabling makes no difference at all."Disqualified. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) re: ML Motion 40/60 speakersYeah, they get kind of a bad rap when paired with mediocre home theater receivers and nests of cabling and switchers at Magnolia stores. A well used demo set at the store sounds different than a new pair not burned in. ... | |
| Poor Fritz Yes. | |
| Poor Fritz +1Some people look at a speaker from a photo and make assumptions on parts and materials used inside, and the manufacturer total cost for each component used. It’s not always comparable in function, sound, or cost just because it looks the same fr... | |
| Poor Fritz @erik_squires "... who uses comparable drivers". How do we know they are "comparable"? Maybe his drivers are better than standard versions... It’s not entirely impossible Fritz has as special order line made to spec for his particular drivers - on... | |
| RIP Eddie Van Halen. What was your first stereo you rocked to VH on? To EVH Diehards, fans of his guitars, the sound, a peek inside his mind and how it worked. Worth watching >>Interview with Eddie Van Halen: Is Rock "n" Roll about Reinvention?<< https://youtu.be/yb26D8bBZB8 |
