| Power conditioner or outlet? This depends on a great deal. There is the thought that a surge protector could limit the current. Never seen this proven, but Furman with LiFT and SMP work really great and have fabulous noise reducing characteristics. Also, trust your ears. I me... | |
| Filling audio rack tubes with sand, metal, grape nutz??? buck shot. It doesn't settle and is easy to manage evne when spilled. | |
| Bookshelf + sub vs. floorstanding Satellites with a well integrated sub are magical. Few ever end up with a well integrated sub. How about a large 2-way that can do bass? If you do a floor stander, stick to 2.5 ways, they are more efficient and integrate better in a room. | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? Some of the Gryphons I believe (don't quote me though) | |
| Is pre-amp getting killed? I really like my Mytek Brooklyn as a pre/DAC. Use a home assembled Raspberry Pi for a music server/streamer. $90 | |

| Reminiscing about Dual and AR turntables @lewm So do you think in general, the Thorens are better and easier to buy used?E | |
| Rear speakers That's a topic best for car audio forums. :) | |
| Dual Subwoofers: close together? @brf is rightBut if you can afford a HT system and dual subs, splurge a little and get something like OmniMic. :) There’s a secret though. Put the sub in your listening location, then move the mic around to try to find the best sounding speaker lo... | |
| New Parasound A21 VS Mark Levinson #23 The Parasound is a fantastic modern sounding amp in all respects. Robust, powerful, quiet, neither euphonic nor dry or sterile. I would strongly recommend it based on age alone. Best,E | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? @roxy54 Ooooh, my bad. I meant to post "Why do horns image SO well." I guess I screwed that up... << runs and hides >> | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @maplegrovemusic I don't find good digital amps bright or fatiguing today. In the late 1980's I was listening to some digital amps that sure were though! I don't know how old the B&O/ICEpower designs are, but that's what I listen to every day ... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I am really not a fan of silver over copper cables. However, solid silver interconnects are pretty good and inexpensive to build on your own. Best,E | |
| What you can say about lowbass and midbass perfomance for high end loudspeakers ? The idea of small woofers being "faster" is a myth. What happens is more complicated and involves room acoustics as well. Having said that, there are many speakers with dual 6" to 10" woofers which perform very very well in a room. See my threads ... | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? Another horn thread.I’m looking for something that hasn’t been said before. You seem new here... |
