| Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit. So many variables need to be known. What connections and what type? Balanced? etc. For a very inexpensive option, and if older is okay, a NAD 106 came through here this week and I tell you what, pretty darn good and it has balanced out even. Rea... | |
| Monstrous power cables Unfortunately there's more to power cables than power. | |
| Was my friend given misinformation. When I think Magnolia/BestBuy, why do I think car audio? | |
| Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive? Well about the only way to actually reduce prices is to cut out the middle man. Also known as your local brick and mortar dealer. As we all know many brands have gone that route to be more competitive in the marketplace. But then we are left wi... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers Today if one isn't managing their subs with DSP control then I'd say you aren't getting the most out of it. A well regarded pair of subs, properly integrated with DSP and dialing in the positioning will be a high percentage of having "good subs". | |

| Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good??? Unless you are willing to drop multi thousands more on something new, that would be a heck of a get. And if doesn't work, it wont be because the speakers. You'd be able to sell then quickly. | |
| Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k) Sell everything and then start fresh. Clean up the mental gymnastics. Determine the correct form factor of speaker for your application and make a choice. A nice Rel sub with one of the speakers you are leaning towards makes sense. Don't go to... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Unfortunately yes it is. I just don’t care for it. What I really don’t like is how it’s jammed down our throats on the various streaming services. Do we really need another rap playlist? It's to the level also that if god forbid I search for a r... | |
| All I Wanted To Do Was Listen To Music We all start somewhere. You, just going about it backwards. | |
| Who uses ADS Speakers Listening to my L1590 here as I type in my home office. SS Monoblock amps, tube preamp. Also have 710's. Had the 910's. All great. If you have any ADS speakers in the upper level that you want to keep in tip top shape, consider sending your... | |
