| Weird crackling from speakers when preamp connected Is there any pattern to the crackling sound, or rather does it appear kind of random / intermittent? | |
| Chronos tweak at Axpona Hey what about Synergistic Research's Electronic Circuit Transducers? They too don't need power to work. Not only do they transform ordinary electronics to the extraordinary, but they also look pretty, like tea lights floating weightlessly on lot... | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget ProAc definitely make some great-sounding speakers, but keep your fingers crossed that nothing ever goes wrong with them. | |
| Shakti Stone @wesheadley Nope, won't work. One must pay | |
| Picking a power amp @emann50 +1 on Bryston. I had a 4B here for a while and I was quite pleased with it. Excellent bass, plenty of slam, I was actually surprised by how good it sounded. It was an early model, built like a tank, and a breeze to fix yourself in the u... | |

| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles I use half ground pork in my recipe. Give a cow a break :) | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles For me to totally agree with @nonoise and 100% disagree with @ghdprentice is unusual. Confit de canard (no caps required) is something of a French meatloaf, in spirit if not in preparation. Dunking quartered poultry in fat and letting it slowly ... | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget Pretty sure OP was after 2-channel speakers, not home theater stuff. | |
| Aleph 3 safe to operate? I’m wondering how the capacitors age when they have been unused, new in the box, without having been fed electricity since leaving the factory. Is there an explanation I might read as a reference article or book? @zarf This tech note from Wür... | |
