| Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced? a few thoughts.either you like them or you don't. looks and/or sound. If you like them, realize, you are buying years of engineering and production development, as well as the resulting fabricated pair.if you don't like them, then, they are very o... | |
| Non-rear ported Speakers IF ports, front ports only to retain directionality of bass and those bass note's overtones.IF subwoofers, a small stereo pair, same reason, and sub self powered, wired so that the bass chores are eliminated from both the main amp and main speakers | |
| Frustrated with Vinly CLEAN, QUIET LP’s (inexpensive manual method)I’m loving how quiet my dirty old lp’s sound.Your problem helped me out, I now have a very successful inexpensive manual cleaning method. I am getting essentially no noise out of old dirty static fill... | |
| What is this speaker cable connection? you can remove them, and put banana plugs on yourself | |
| Friend needs advice for $8,000 system you want tubes, yet you are starting with inefficient speakers, only 86db/1w/m.small room, won't need/allow much volume, however, the speakers are bass limited, and the bass it can do needs power, soooo you are starting out needing to spend too mu... | |
| MoFi - Are You Kidding Me? that is not a big deal, and it is a big deal. hopefully no audible problem, but they just lowered their standing with you and anyone you talk to, with such a preventable issue.I would tell them, give them a chance to tighten up their staff. | |
| $3000 stand mounted speakers? generally, ANY stand mounted speaker will have less bass than ones with large cone drivers which is fine unless they try to do too much, ports, passive radiators, ... My advice is to avoid rear or side ports, if ports, front only, to avoid rear/si... | |
| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! LP. Only if I know I don't like the last track on a side, otherwise I play all tracks.Like others, the whole LP, both sides, unless more than one disc and I run out of time.Occasionally, to let someone else hear 'the best' of something, I will dro... | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers what the heck was a supertweeter doing facing backwards?big deal, each time you re-do something, it takes less time and you may get it 'righter'. In which case she did you a favor.actually, toed in more would have given a wider center image, and r... | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? Lightweight speakers are a different matter. Your speakers weigh 110lbs each. Spikes? No Spikes? Wheels? I would buy a pair of something like these https://smile.amazon.com/JzNova-Heavy-Metal-Wheels-Square/dp/B07S6ZP255/ref=sr_1_12?ascsubtag=1ba00... | |

| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Bias Control, look for external control, some have meters. My early Cayin A88T tube integrated Amp has internal adjustments. (I needed 16 ohm taps).Later Cayin models, only 8 and 4 ohm taps, have external bias. I highly recommend Cayin. As for mad... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? I started this about remote balance a while ago https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/remote-balance-control-on-tube-integrated-amp | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Phono now?Future?If no phono now, I vote for Tube Integrated Amp now, then you get tube sound, and later, if you add phono, you add a separate tube preamp for that.Newer units have remote volume, nicea few have remote balance. People here are prob... | |
| Toole and why I like Tone Controls noble1001 yes, it can be: huh? tweak, better? a bit more?then, go back, start that track or LP over, enjoy it like never before.sometimes, after adjusting the 1st track, all the following tracks, LP or CD sound better than ever.If you listen ... |
