| Occam's Razor: The Signal to Noise Ratio you got it backwards, simplest comes first. i.e. the simplest explanation is most often correct. The origin and purpose are mostly unknown to us, I went to wiki: " William of Ockham himself seems to restrict the operation of this principle in ma... | |
| Bad sounding recordings mcondo mine is SACD, I'm sure it sounds great on a stnd, CD as well. | |
| Equalization needed I realize the control Parametric type can give, however, how close to what you need are dual channel 31 band (1/3 octave) units? see my last post here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/equalizer-to-compensate-for-hearing-loss-any-success-... | |
| Equalizer to compensate for hearing loss - Any success stories? Equalizers: Schitt; Rockville; DBX; Chinese Branded DBX Dual Channel (l&r separate); 31 bands (1/3 octave) give the best flexibility. 1/3 band effects adjacent frequencies less than 15 or 10 or … band units. First: adjust l/r individually f... | |
| Interconnects between Turntable and SUT Three tonearms to SUT (Fidelity Research FRT-4 with 3 selectable RCA inputs). SUT’s OEM cables out to preamp are fixed, RCA + Ground. I had to extend the SUT’s ground to reach the ground on my McIntosh mx110z tube tuner/preamp: the phono RCA’s re... | |
| Opinions on NAD please Way back when NAD 1st came on the scene, small package, low price for power rating, beautiful designs, punched above it's weight. My audible impression was they were doing some un-acknowledged limiting to be otherwise impressive. McIntosh has pow... | |

| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? I just posted this elsewhere I advise working very hard to find efficient speakers you love, they are out there. Don't even listen to inefficient ones. That will keep the needed power down: less: cost/size/weight/heat and it will increase placem... | |
| McIntosh MC20 - 1960's - No Left Channel 2 wonderful McIntosh Tube pieces, well worth having refurbed even if working well. I sent my working mx110z tube tuner/preamp to Audio Classics, they did a great job, including replacing all it's slightly undersized and corroded rca jacks with ne... | |

| Is it a Bad Tube or a Bad fuse (Fuse Fatigue)? on the 8th day, nobody heard "GET THEE a Tube Tester". | |
| Equalizer to compensate for hearing loss - Any success stories? Basic Balance Controls 'move' ALL' frequencies L or R Equalizers with individual channel adjustments for L or R will help un-balanced hearing issues, even specific frequencies the hearing chart reveals, And, you can use direct, as a pass thru... | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms The facts of Linear Tracking are indisputable, however the advancing mechanism must perform as designed .... The facts about less error with longer tonearm are indisputable, however what else about the arm? My Linear Tonearm experiences (all goo... | |
| Equalizer to compensate for hearing loss - Any success stories? Equalizer 1st you are adjusting frequencies for the space (not your hearing). SPL meter and test cd needed, needs tripod hole, at listening location at seated ear height https://www.amazon.com/BAFX-Products-Pressure-30-130dBA-Warranty/dp/... |
