| Photos of my system Very nice! I just left you a comment re: speaker positioning. I was wondering about the front wall as well. Perhaps some DIY sound panels (compressed fiberglass panels covered with material of your choice). You can set them down wherever you wish ... | |
| Woojer headphone are they opening a new branch of the audiophile tree? Ok, so it's a wearable Butt Kicker. Meh. It in no way means the sound is actually good. In fact, the company can probably get away with worse sound, given the distraction of the vibrations. | |
| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? According to the supplied info, speaker Z has the best attributes of speakers X and Y. For a more useful answer, supply X And Y. :) | |
| Driving different pairs of speakers with different speaker wire lengths Sorry I wasn't clear. Runs. It without 2nd set of speakers. That'll tell you.Cobble together add on components is a mess. Start over, better. :) | |
| Driving different pairs of speakers with different speaker wire lengths Run it without the 30ft cabes and speakers, and see if it still dies after extended use. If so, its trash, likely not worth repair. Time to move up to better anyway. :)Possible solution; affordable active speakers for surrounds. Perhaps receive... | |
| Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me? I had a similar experience when conducting ABX testing with amps (with all other pieces of electronics, I was able to select the proper item -cables and components - far better than 50% of the time). The only component that was not discernible in ... | |
| Looking for a good system for my apartment. Any advise? There is no inherent advantage to Integrated vs. Separates at any level. Only comparison will tell. Perhaps start by looking at Schiit Audio brand - no joke. Blessed Thanksgiving. | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8 As general info pursuant to the .8 series, feel free to read my review of the XA200.8 Monos, which I compared to previous series. Article appears at Dagogo.com | |
| New game with active speakers Not surprising. ENORMOUS spectrum of performance exists in and between all system genres. This is one example of how wildly different systems can sound.i experience such changes regularly. Tubes have not assured better sound for many years. | |
| tough choices I have reviewed several Pass Labs amps (and one First Watt) for Dagogo.com over the course of the years. The current generation of .8 series amps are the most lush, tube-like that Pass has put up, and I recommend them to you. I ask that you read m... | |
| What are your experiences with upgrading power cords on KEF LS50 wireless? Upgraded power cords on active speakers is efficacious. I have tested such things out. Power supplies, amps, etc. in speakers respond to PCs. I encourage you to think of your query as being resolved by working with entire sets of cables. Reports o... | |
| Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection Time moves Oh, so s.l.o.w.l.y. when waiting for a repair! ;) | |
| $10K Budget for Speakers: Martin Logan Masterpiece vs Tannoy Having used Tannoy 15" and large panel speakers, I disagree with the characterization of the Tannoys having larger soundstage. It seems to me that typically the macrodynamics and scale are conflated. | |
| What should be my next speaker - the never ending question explorateur, my first comment was general information, as many who have less experience with panels vs. other genres of speakers conflate the attributes of panels and mistakenly conclude they are more "transparent". Ergo, I would not suggest that ... | |
| What should be my next speaker - the never ending question Not hard at all to perceptually have any given dynamic, hybrid dynamic, horn, etc. speaker sound more transparent than panel. Most people mistake the character of the soundstage for transparency. Without side by side comparison, they don't know. P... |
