| How Much Power Do Vandersteen 5a's Really Need? A mere 100 Watts on a 5A is a waste of a good speaker. | |
| Can I leave speaker jumpers in? Try this, if possible; If you have enough jumpers with the right terminations, you can double them up. Doubling jumpers (absolutely parallel) is very efficacious. I do not use jumpers and bi-wire at same time. If you have jumpers with spades and j... | |
| Does it annoy you when companies don't show the internals of electronics ? Not do debate you, grannyring, but I was not saying that parts upgrades are not efficaicous; I concur with that. I'm saying that by looking at a component, the sound quality in relation to any other given component cannot be determined. If you dis... | |
| Does it annoy you when companies don't show the internals of electronics ? As a reviewer, some thoughts:If you wish to protect your country’s small business interests, perhaps you might wish to reconsider promoting exposure of potential proprietary info that could be copied and eventually weaken the manufacturer’s sales.... | |
| 10agw +10agw=7agw? need some big Banana's mitch, I didn't even bother to look at the connectors; just having fun. :) | |
| Class D Received confirmation yesterday that I'm right. I was perhaps 90% confident prior. I'm about 99% sure now. Tsunami coming! | |
| 10agw +10agw=7agw? need some big Banana's If it is a matter of success or failure, trim a few of the conductors. But, beware; forever you will know it and it will completely destroy any satisfaction you would have had, even if you upgrade $50K in gear. ;) | |
| Harley quote "Diminishing returns " is the subjective excuse by budget Audiophiles for not putting more into their system. It's an excuse for Lower Fi. Pretending you're doing all that, without doing it. :(Mostly, the phrase is used by people ignorant of the... | |
| If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly Great examples of smart people without experience giving poor advice. "No way"How about you open your wallet at some point and learn something? Probably won't; too cheap and too proud. :( | |
| Harley quote +1 russbutton, waiting for riding season! Humorus anecdote; when I got my 2016 Yamaha FJ-09 I was surprised the first time the dealer started it up - it's a 3 cylinder and frankly, sounds like an oversized sewing machine. I thought, "What kind of ... | |
| What are the odds...... Two strikes. You're almost out. | |
| Pass XP30 preamp makes no difference (from dagogo) ? Wow! (active vs passive vs no preamp) As a fellow Dagogo.com reviewer, a few comments. If I understand correctly, the comparison was between using the Pass preamp's attenuator vs. the Bricasti attenuator. If so, this was one very limited comparison, and should not be seen as any kind ... | |
| I should have labeled it Speakers? Swapping speakers is a good idea, but to hear the correct sound of the anomaly you would have to break them and the wires in again for at least 200 hours. Heheheh... ;) | |
| I should have labeled it Speakers? Looking at your room, my first reaction is that the phenomenon is perhaps associated with the open area to the left of the speaker. My guess is that you are hearing the sound of the driver without the first reflected wave off the side wall, and th... | |
| Better Integrated Amp? Imo, with that limited of budget, I would consider an alternative. I would consider reallocating the funds toward primarily speakers and pre/amp or integrated. Source temporarily could be phone/laptop for digital, and if it is your pleasure, an in... |
