| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. thecarpathian Recently there was a thread about some abysmally stupid statement YouTuber Rick Beato made in an effort to ingratiate himself with his geriatric audience. A lively discussion ensued, and not once did I mention his terrible sideburns... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @carlsbad2 We are on the same page. Electrically, a closed relay is definitely equivalent to a straight wire. So are power cords, but folks still heatedly argue about them. If we accept that power cords - the essence of a straight wire - can h... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? I like on many components that I don’t expect to fail, to just raw dog it with no protection and replace the fuse with a slug (some think this is crazy, they are entitled to their opinion). Reading through this thread leaves me open to the poss... | |
| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles There is a category of guys on this thread, who wouldn’t qualify as proper audiophiles, to begin with, i.e., they are set up in a living room and have to worry/conform to the spouse, spouse’s social club, the mother in law and anyone else This ... | |
| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles Yet another Tekton thread devolves into back biting and mud slinging. Just another day at the ‘Gon……. For real! But why does Tekton have that effect on people? Was it the company's clumsy and idiotic attempts to intimidate and silence reviewer... | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. Anyone else here experimented with asymmetric speaker toe-in? @bolong Well, I am. My room is large but asymmetrical, so I thought it was worth trying. I am far from done, but at this point my left speaker crosses ~2 ft in front of my head whil... | |
| Bryston Model T Signature speakers My understanding is that the Model T Signature are 3-way active-crossovered but not powered. Users need to supply their own 6-channel amplification. I think putting crossovers upstream of amplification makes a lot of sense. It also provides plent... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Danny should watch more Uncle Paul videos and learn ruthless hucksterism from a grand master | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. The GR dude does come across as kinda dishonest in those videos trashing speakers, honestly. At the same time, it looks like he’s legit, and some of his speakers are well-regarded. So maybe he’s not doing himself any favors with the YouTube shti... | |

| Audiophiles and De-cluttering -- your journey toward both psychic and sonic improvement @livinon2wheels Movie audio is a highly processed mixture of dialogue, soundtrack music and special effects that tolerates, if not favors, turned-up-to-eleven-type gear, especially speakers and subs. Whereas music is, well... music. Different fo... | |

| Is it easier to sell mono blocks or stereo amp on the used market? Advantages of Stereo Amplifiers for Resale 1. Broader Market Appeal • More universal compatibility • Typically less expensive • Easier for average audiophiles to integrate into existing systems 2. Cost Considerations • Generally lower price... | |
| Is it easier to sell mono blocks or stereo amp on the used market? Personally, everything else being equal, I’ll always prefer monos over stereo. But reputation, brand, model, and service history probably matter a lot more at resale than form factor. | |
| Audiophiles and De-cluttering -- your journey toward both psychic and sonic improvement @tony1954 IME some speakers may do OK in both HT and 2-ch situations, or they may excel at one and suck at the other. The very attributes that make a speaker good at HT usually disqualify it for serious 2-ch listening, and vice versa. Again, IME... |
