| The Power Plant Regenerator debate drags on a) Room resolution bottleneck (untreated room for waf compliance, or 2 panels up for decorative purposes) b) Old dudes, degraded hearing, untrained listeners, etc If a, b or both are true, power products would only serve for safeguarding equipme... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. @hjdca I noticed the following information on your profile....member since Jan 2013 (12 years) without a single post or discussion on any topic. All of a sudden, your account has sprung to life (after 12 years of deep hibernation) in great prais... | |
| HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON A SYSTEM? IF YOU GET THE SOUND DOES IT MATTER? Sky should be the limit for a toilet paper roll too. For a long time now, some charlatans have been trying to claim that the price of 3 dumb drivers in a box can be a million dollars somehow...he’ll do "r&d" apparently to make the soundstage ... | |
| OK Audiogon, help me out please Neither of them will help with your 'issues'. A pair of Mofi 888 (price is 5k) should fix your issues. The problem with my current speakers are they seem very bright in the mids and harsh in the upper. Which of the 2 speakers I'm looking at... | |
| Power for two subs. If you thought your preamp and poweramp for your speakers didn't need a conditioner, your subwoofer may not need one either. | |
| HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON A SYSTEM? IF YOU GET THE SOUND DOES IT MATTER? If you are well off, you would set up a few different rigs for different flavors. But, spending more than 50k, 100k on a single modern 2025 rig is quite meaningless, if you are looking at the sonics and diminishing returns aspects of things. You ... | |
| HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON A SYSTEM? IF YOU GET THE SOUND DOES IT MATTER? For networths indicated below, it is good to not exceed indicated rig costs in 2025 (to mitigate maximal diminished returns). Networth: Rig cost 10k to 50k: Walmart boombox (just kidding, get Hifiman headphones) 100k: 1k 500k: 3k 1 mill: 10k ... | |
| High pitch buzz in speakers after adding some LEDs Do you have the ability to connect the leds to a different line, one other than where all your audio equipment is? Or run a long extension cord to an outlet on another line for testing purposes | |
| My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms Walk around in the room and determine if some satisfactory bass output is present at a location other than your listening location. Move speakers a bit closer to the front wall and walk around some more. If you are sitting on top of modal nulls, ... | |

| At the top of the line is it really all that different? It is a very useful skill....learning how to fix recordings... You're outta luck if you are spinning vinyl. But, it's doable on the digital end if you learn some software and a few tricks. If some mastering technician got a lil too high before h... | |
| Things we cannot be bothered by anymore If the US splits in the near future, it will probably be based on right wing or left wing ideology...not religion, race or ethnicity. The US is not some one of a kind cultural melting pot. Melting pots have existed in different parts of the world... | |
| Things we cannot be bothered by anymore No land with very polarized ideologies has stayed as a unified land/entity for too long (in the history of humanity).. Major powers constantly produce disinformation campaigns to weaken each other in that regard (divide & conquer). Relatively... | |
| At the top of the line is it really all that different? At the higher end, parameters like resolution, clarity, soundfield nuances, bass impact, extension, etc can start to equalize, which are the same parameters that are immediately noticeable to a listener. Such equalization happens way more quickly ... | |
| Things we cannot be bothered by anymore This has to be one of the silliest things that has crept its way into audiophilia. Just this weekend, a buddy of mine was hitting a sax with me backing him on keyboard in my listening room, 90db, 95db, piece of cake... I bet you all won’t last 1... |
