| Lose weight or buy better fitting pants What’s a goose pump? Reminds of a statue I saw in Berlin years ago. | |
| Best audiophile earwax removal system? A year ago or some here recommended the Axel Glade Spade ear cleaning system. It’s a camera that works with your smart phone or iPad that is pretty amazing. I bought one and have had good results - can see and remove lots of ear wax safely. Do wis... | |
| Crutchfield Customer Service For high school graduation we purchased a car head unit for my son for his car - a no name he had picked out. Crutchfield replaced it twice and then the 3rd time replaced it with a significantly upgraded Kenwood unit. I had my son make all the cal... | |
| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers @bache - I think you hit the nail on the head in that folks that like Teton also like Las Vegas. I avoid both like the plague (or COVID). | |
| Will you hear the most beautiful music... I normally like my steak lean. But I had the chance to eat A5 in Kobe. Way way better than any other steak I’ve ever had. I had 3 nights out in Kobe - spent 1 at a highly rated restaurant from TripAdvisor and it was very good but small portions an... | |

| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II My experience was different than yours but my upgrade delta was much larger and I was dealing with the Node 2. I upgraded to the Mytek Manhattan DAC and the result was night and day difference BUT the Mytek cost ~10x what the Node cost. I was happ... | |
| starting equiment that ic cold from being shipped Regarding the cooling fins - yes they will work in reverse during the warm up but would only be effective if the amp is out of the box. However the fins would also increase air movement around the amp and thereby increase the likelihood of condens... | |
| starting equiment that ic cold from being shipped @bossa Early in my career I did thermal analysis - modeling problems just like this. I can tell you that it depends on the thermal properties of the materials the amp is made of. More or less the denser the longer it will take to come to equilibri... | |
| starting equiment that ic cold from being shipped @dekay @holmz - I feel bad. I meant no disrespect when I said opening them was a “terrible idea”. It was an in-artful way to open my response and I don’t want to promote discord on this site. I do stand by my opinion that it will be better ... | |
| starting equiment that ic cold from being shipped Opening them up to warm up is a terrible idea. This will expose the electronics to any water vapor in the room and greatly greatly increase the likelihood of condensation forming. Leaving them sealed more or less restricts the opportunity for cond... | |
| How long ago did you catch the bug? Junior high - probably 1976 - my friend Dan had his dad’s stereo. It wasn’t much but is was separates rather than the ubiquitous all-in-one systems everyone had at that time. He played The Who, Live at Leeds and I couldn’t believe how much more th... | |
| Best Bang for the Buck Upgrade It seems like you actually really like your system but are still looking for that next step - I can very much relate. I recently added a 2nd JL sub (placed to the rear of but not directly behind the primary listening position). I’m in a similar si... | |
| Try a sub a third in the back Not sure if the OP was more championing 3 subs or the 3D effect that placing a sub behind the listening position creates. My system has 2 subs but because I live in a small house I don’t have a lot of choice on placement. The recent addition of th... | |
| Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like? Am I the only one that the only thing that really stuck with me from the article was how the author thinks it’s OK to go into a music store and lie to the workers and waste their time trying to improve the sound of the author’s system? |
