| Mattresses, not stereos is where the money is All about the sheets. Directional threads and cyrogenically sewn. Well, I am buying the coldest feeling memory-foam mattress I can find! | |
| Is There any Consensus at all amongst Audiophiles? I believe in science and engineering. I believe in measurements. I also believe in the buyer's listening pleasure being the most important thing in choosing equipment. Oscilloscopes don't put up with bosses, angry customers and snow bound commutes... | |
| Mattresses, not stereos is where the money is Nectar was a brand I didn't end up trying. I did try the Tempur-pedic. The only model that worked for me temperature and support wise was, of course, the $4,500 queen.Ended up with a Bedgear for $1,700. If I find it is too firm or too soft they w... | |
| Mattresses, not stereos is where the money is I also want to point out this :Both stereos and memory-foam mattresses have a warm up period. The bed sleeps very differently after it's warm, the major reason I'm having to replace mine. | |
| AMT tweeters I also want to point out that Monitor Audio makes really high value and high performing speakers. If you like them, get them. :) Oh, Parts Connexion often has them on sale! :) | |

| does anyone have a CM Labs 911 Schematic Try DIYaudio.com | |
| AMT tweeters No. AMTs vary a great deal in quality, and the imaging is in a very large part due to the mids and the integration with it. | |
| Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ? I had to check the date to be sure this wasn't an old, resurrected thread. There are a number of amps at the Pass price point I like better, and even a number of less expensive amps I like better. I agree that Pass sounds different, and for the ri... | |
| The sound of electrolytic capacitors failing @atmasphere OH, well, even better! | |
| Are most recordings so bad it's not worth spending large on speakers? Replace "recordings" with "room acoustics" and I suddenly agree with Morrison. The question of spending however to my mind is a separate issue. The quality of components and design is not that well coupled to the finished product in my mind. I wil... | |
| The sound of electrolytic capacitors failing Have your amp checked out soon. $190 is a lot, but not as much as having a bad cap take out all the power transistors, or a speaker. :) | |
| Center placed equipment stands I'm a fan of draping curtains to cover hard items in the front, speakers and racks, and it does help, so I imagine that removing them altogether helps even more. Also, just in general, the floor behind and between the speakers is too often overloo... | |
| Crossover Capacitor In Parallel with Woofer Yep, those are good simulators, but they may not have a good model for a speaker. The link I provided actually has simulation files with actual speaker drivers. :)Best,E | |
| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? The point of DIY is not to save money, but to develop a visceral, first hand experience most audiophiles don't ever get to. If you are interested, have the cash, and maybe a young family member to help you .... do it and don't worry about upgrades. |
