| Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen I can see some benefit in isolated situations, but don't see a mainstream use for them.. You are actually expecting a $1,000 active speaker to have the sound quality seen from a $20,000 Amp-speaker Combo. Oh ya, you don' thave to pay $555 for a sp... | |
| Can someone help me pick out my first speakers? As repeated many times here, yo have to hear the end result. I strongly recommend you find a half dozen music selections that you are familiar with then take disks or even song names from known streaming sites, to a store that can provide you with... | |
| Everything matter in the audio chain. Tests prove it! YES and NO! Not everything can be judged by the tech, BUT neither can you trust your ears. What you like is totally subjective and opinionated at best. Most people have never had the opportunity to sit on a stage with a live jazz band or in a para... | |
| How far and wide? NSMT speaker placement Tilt/Cant is a major factor that many people overlook. I recently added 1 inch to the front legs of my towers and it totally changed the soundstage. This created about 5 deg. of backwards tilt to the tower. I even reran 'Diraclive' to make sure t... | |
| Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why .... Something else I would caution people on. Reports like this one from ZDNet magazine.

| Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why .... If his PC is that bad, he needs a serious upgrade. Either the router is somehow failing at that point and allowing some sort of back feed, which I don't see possible, or the PC itself is a piece 'o' CHIT. I am constantly amazed at how people are w... | |
| Fraud /SCAM I won't get within 100 miles of PayPal. | |
| Digital Improving All the Time? @chyro So your call going from 16/44.1 to 24/192 + just a slight improvement. Now I am not necessarily talking about DSD but overall I can D/L or listen to music at MUCH higher resolution than CD and though SACD did offer a pretty good resolution ... | |
| 5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes. And some people say Comedy is dead! He talks a good talk but most of this is just that Talk without ANY data to back up what he is saying. Now I do agree with some of it, but like Point #5 it is all blathering after a certain point. Any time you c... | |
| A different kind of (inexpensive) Audio accessory. Far better than holding a Flashligh between my teeth. | |
| Problem on listing Yep, Tammy is a go-getter. If she doesn't have the answer she can find out. This is not one of your run-of-the-mill sites with no Tech support. I have had tremendous success with Aduiogon, whenever a problem arises. | |
| Don’t over power condition! WOW, I see so many unsupported Comments here, Questions Unanswered, and pure NONSENSE. And I am not taking any side YET on the original topic. I have a cancered view of most professional power conditioners. To start with they have the ENTIRE feed ... | |
| What’s Voodoo power cords signature sounding? And once again we see the BASHERS here in full force without one shred of evidence or expertise to back up their bashing. I guess they have never seen a recorded scope trace showing the current rise and decay down to a few nanoseconds. That also d... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding First off it would not be out of the ordinary for me to play 5 to 10 hours of music (of all varieties of sources) in a days’ time and that does not include many nights that I play music radio while sleeping. You seem to place your likes and usage ... | |
| any lawyers in this forum care to give an advice? A couple of years ago I proceeded to rebuild my surrounds.(baby towers) I ordered the new drives, Binding posts and some new Capacitors from an prominent online dealer. Their shipment was automatically insured for #100 which only constituted 1/4th... |
