| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 You used to be a reasonably affable and knowledgeable bloke and now this? @fsonicsmith It is clear from your starting sentence you are confusing me with some one else. I won't be controlled by your disappointment, nor am I obliged to answer al... | |
| Bass boom and neighbours Sorry for being flippant. Honest answer, you could go up to their apartment, use something like AudioTool for Android, and figure out what frequencies they are hearing the most of, then EQ that to be lower. Unfortunately there’s not much you can d... | |

| Revel’s Sound Signature Modern Wilson’s (but not earlier generation) and Monitor Audio are not too far off. The Revel’s off-axis response and imaging is really good, so it shares that with modern Magico, but doesn’t have the coolness or mid bass bump of the Magicos I hea... | |
| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 Hi Ralph, You, @atmasphere , make this statement which seems contradictory right after talking about tubes and distortion: The answer has something to do with the ear's masking principle; that is where a louder sound can mask the presence of a q... | |
| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 I’m on the "NeverPass" camp.

| Bass boom and neighbours Put full range speakers in his home, it will even out the bass/treble balance. :) | |
| Parasound A21+ or PS Audio S700 monos? Erik, have any of your "fans" asked for autograph? LOLNo, they only ever ask me for free drinks. | |
| Old school vs new school audio??? With your original tastes, maybe the latest JBL or the Klipsch Heresy III ? Yamaha is making some killer integrateds again as well. I've also heard these speakers with a Rogue tube integrated and thought it sounded really good. Best,E | |
| Worth the effort? Cabling inside sub Absolutely not, stick to the big electrolytics. Now, on the other hand, you sound ready to build your own speaker kit, come over to the dark side and let me show you how you can start .... | |
| Salamander Archetype: Can they be "bridged" together? BTW - So my own solution in my living room setup is to use two side by side racks and lay another shelf on top with nothing but gravity, and towels to hold it there. TV goes on top of that middle rack. The subwoofer and center channel rest betwee... | |
| Salamander Archetype: Can they be "bridged" together? Yes .... but....All those nuts will drive you crazy. :) What I mean is that you have to carefully assemble all the pieces in the right order. Nut, washer, rubber grommet, wood, rubber grommet, washer, nut......I have a single stack rack for my bed... | |
| Old school vs new school audio??? I meant what kind of gear. | |
| Old school vs new school audio??? HI OP and thank you for your service. I'm curious if you are missing that vinyl sound?? What were you listening to in the 1980's ? That will give me a reference point. |
