| Humour I’ve always liked one I saw years ago in Stereophile.. 2 friends are discussing ones new speakers..So how do you like them one ask..The new owner replies,I don’t know,they haven’t been reviewed yet... | |
| Technics MK2 > Pear Audio Blue Integrated Amp I'm not into vinyl so this may not be correct but it sounds like you have a bad mismatch between the output impedance of your source & input impedance of your PHONO STAGE.. | |
| What’s your opinion about Dali speakers? I’ve owned Dali’s before & demo’d most of their line about 5 years ago..I didn’t care for the ones with the hybrid tweeter array.I felt the treble seemed disconnected from the mids & bass..I did like the simple 2 ways with silk tweeters &a... | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier If you really want experience the magic you have read about,I suggest the Musical Fidelity A1 reissue integrated amplifier..Available well under $2k new,about $1250.00 gently used & will get you about 90% of what a $3500.00+ Class A will...Oh ... | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier There is NO DOUBT about the magic,natural warmth,wonderous sound staging & imaging of a good tube amp BUT you can get the exact same thing from Class A Solid State.. Also the average price of a Matched & Balanced quad(4 tubes) of current p... | |
| Vibration dampening I second the Auralex SubDude II..I used the V1 in a home theater for years with excellent results & still use SpeakerDudes in my bedroom system... | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier DON'T do it!! IMO the cost of having to retube every few thousand hours these days is FAR outweighed by ANY sonic gains from a tube Amplifer when a Class A Solid State amplifier from Luxman,Sugden or Pass Labs does EVERYTHING a tube amp does!!! | |
| ???DAC/Headphone Amp With FIXED Analog Out??? hahahahaha,actually posted this on head-fi.org & got the same answer,along with a much less expensive choice in the iFi "Zen Dac III"...Thanks.. | |
| Recommendations for a headphone amp / DAC to pair with my Focal Utopia's Second the Audio GD R28 BUT in the NOS version(Non Oversampling)... | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? IMO EVERY piece of "modern music"produced the last 25 years has been A.I.produced! | |

| 1990 Radio Shack catalog My first system was from the Shack,a receiver & 2 way bookshelf speakers..I also bought & built radio kits & electronics project kits from them starting when I was about 10 so that would have been late 60's,early 70's... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? IF everything in my life went to SHIITE & I had to sell everything I own,I would hang on to my Motorola smartphone,loaded with about 1800 songs in FLAC & my HiFiMan "Deva Pro"Bluetooth headphones..Total investment,$230.00 | |
| Plugging rear ports of "bookshelf" speakers? You are correct..Many ported speakers get a bloated,boomy bass when moved close to a rear wall..Plugging the port creates a quasi sealed enclosure,reducing bass output.. | |
| Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ? A great source OR speakers will STILL sound mediocre with a so so amplifier driving them! I'll take a GREAT amp driving a decent source & speakers,allowing the FULL potential of those items to be realized!!! |
