Remote Volume Control for a Sub Woofer
I also like playing with the remote on my pair of Velodyne DD10+’s. I mostly adjust adjust the volume to taste but on some truly bass shy recordings I’ll adjust the slope as well. I’ve got buttons 1-5 programmed to alter the slope from 6db all the...

The pope's rig?
Thanks for posting this. I'm Jewish and I love this Pope and his message and actions.  Now I like him even more.  I can't imagine he has an expensive system, but perhaps some manufacturer will gift him one.   
Use of a super tweeter worth the investement ?
I use super tweeters with my TAD speakers. Tad’s are quite extended with a beryllium tweeter so there is really no technical need for a super tweeter. Just a few days ago I decided to cover the super tweeters with something to temporarily see how... 
TTW Audio (TTWeights)
I have a theory about the clumsy exit. First I should say I am long time owner of his accessories and then his full table. I recently got new belts from him when the store reopened. Larry owned a very successful machining company doing exacting p... 
LessLoss Firewall for Loudspeakers
Has anyone measured their speakers with pjnk noise before and after these were inserted to see if freq response is affected?  Any further insights?    
I own Elac Adante center speaker - mistake not to get Adante L+R?
The Adante situation reminds me a bit of a Pinball Machine from a few years ago - Pirates Of the Caribbean. It was discontinued shortly after release due to various issues including have to remove some innovative features that weren’t reliable, an... 
Magico A5, Wilson SabrinaX, or PS Audio FR30?
I am not even in the market for a higher end speaker and I’m completely tempted by the PS Audio. Chris the designer is extremely well versed in folded ribbons from his previous company. The drivers are all their own new design and as far as I know... 
Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL?
Just a fun story to revive an old thread.  Many years ago I was living in an apartment with a narrow living room.  I wanted 101E’s but didn’t have the room.  I had read that MBL used to sell just the top section on its own with no subwoofer and ... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Nothing’s on my turntable due to some ham fisted moron sending the tonearm flying across the LP and ripping the Diamond off the cantilever. But the culprit will pay for the damage. Just a warning to all A’goners to never let the member here with t... 
Great song to test bass
I Like Jen Chapin’s hires album Revision on Chesky Records for bass reproduction.  
Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE.
Steve should follow up with 5 reasons not to own a CD player. Personally I haven't spun an audio  disc in probably over a dozen years.  I still like bluray for video though, and even got a few 4k discs. 
Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes
This is off topic but is there anyone in the NYC/tri-state area that has a tube tester and the knowledge that would be willing to test some of my 6sn7's?I have various tubes, some sought after but have no idea if they are still strong after years ... 
Dealer Called.."Your Speakers are In"
Yes point sources can be fantastic. The speakers will likely sound even better after being played a while. I’ve never heard the LS50’s but was super excited to hear the Blades, then later Blades 2 at audio shows years ago but for some reason the d... 
PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference?
I didn’t read this whole thread but my question is was the DS being used balanced out and volume at 100?  I certainly understand if people can’t use it that way based on their system, but IMHO  any comparisons to other DAC’s are completely meaning...
