| What are the circular discs people use on components? So basically the discs are pretty much worthless. I still wish there would begin designing more racks that have casters. I use a customized rack made from steel that comes with casters, from anchor. It's well-made extremely solid and was real... | |
| Audio Research versus McIntosh tube amps: anyone experience or compare both? Ever thought about biamping. Maybe see if pairing your existing solid state monos and a 275 for McIntosh or better from audio research since you have their preamp for the mid range and tweeters. You have a nice size room and maybe it's underpowere... | |
| When was the last time when serious new instrument was invented ? How long ago was the kazoo invented? | |
| Very faint hiss from tweeter Move the modem and router to another room or farther away. And buy a puppy | |
| Crossovers? How do you evaluate if crossover is any good? @knotscott Awesome comment above especially middle paragraph where you talk about parts. You have a great space and all the details related to those components you have. So much knowledge about all that goes on. Especially biamp mixture of tube... | |
| Requesting opinions about 4 specific amplifiers What's the sensitivity of the speakers you have? If I had to do it again I would pick a tube amplifier that can run on low wattage with speakers that are higher sensitivity. There are a lot of very high-quality tube amplifiers that use just a few ... | |
| Focal v Wilson @8th-note Awesome comment about impedance curves. Never really focussed on impedance curve differences as it relates to different speakers. Impedance curve variety between speakers is enlightning. I guess biamping might help level the playing ... | |
| Tracks that bring out the best of YOUR digital system Don Ellis, Rock Odyssey Trumpet player who leads a jazz band and this chart will knock your socks off. From the 70s end of good quality. Chuck Mangione, main squeeze album is pretty awesome. | |
| Youtube audiophile hi res sounds MUCH better than my Eversolo streamer YouTube definitely has amazing sound quality for many videos. Very comfortable to to channel listening. | |
| Importance of clocking @greg_f Thank you for the response but it's not helpful versus what I was trying to say. Doesn't really clarify the essence of what I was trying to say. Seems to me a better Clock needs to be designed for inclusion within a dac. Adding a separ... | |
| Importance of clocking Isn't the best place for a clock to be inside a dac, why don't dacs have better clockers? I have to believe many do. And if they don't buy a better dac. Adding this type of peripheral is just insane. Much better to integrate with all the wiring ... | |
| What did a good 10 MHz clock do for your Gustard R26? I don't understand why people buy external clocks. The dac itself should already come with an excellent clock. Not sure I like the idea about adding an additional box to address a deficient clock within a dac. Plenty of higher end dacs have excel... | |
| My new Borresen X3's Yes people like finishes on their speakers. I wish there would be more focus on what goes on inside the speakers but that's a mystery area. All those crossovers and electronica stuff going on back there, no one knows what goes on. That's really i... | |
| My new Borresen X3's @ronboco I looked at rockports and a couple dealers said they were disappointed with sales. I'm not gonna buy the very high-end rockport and the lower end models are not that spectacular. | |
| How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use? I think $.20 per kilowatt hour is not so bad. I think us audio people should be more sympathetic and not leave our equipment on all the time. I turn on all my tubes about an hour before and they run for about 4 to 5 hours and then they go to sle... |
