| How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room? Small room = small speakers Big room = big speakers A 12 x 11 room with big floor standers is a miss match. Plus you listen at "fairly low volume" levels so there's no need for adding bigger/more. All speakers have a level of volume they requir... | |
| Gain level on a REL sub You could be sitting in a null. A larger sub will still have the null. Also, move the sub around. Including into the corner. Try the sub right behind your seat. Small rooms can be problamatic. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Bruce Springsteen. He can't sing and he can't play guitar either. I know, I know everyone loves him. I can't even consider him as a vocalist. Horrible. | |
| I found a way to get around tariffs that will raise the price of audio equipment. Maybe take a look at the leader of solar and see what they're doing. Doesn't look so foolish. It actually works! China is adding the equivelaint of 5 large nuclear power plants every week in solar and wind. 24 hour supply. Batteries for night use... | |
| Jay's Audio Lab Visits GR Research's Listening Room It seemed to me that Jay was polite but not blown away. The expectation of such a large, grand system could be a tall order (no pun intended). The music selection on the video didn't seem to match the dynamic capability. Not exciting music. If th... | |
| I found a way to get around tariffs that will raise the price of audio equipment. @nonoise I'm aware of the low price of BYD's EVs.They're built cheaply No they are not.

| Using non-terminated speaker wire? Bare wire, Straight strand not twisted in a good tight compressed lug. | |
| I found a way to get around tariffs that will raise the price of audio equipment. @nonoise Rump simply banned Chinese EVs once he came into office. Not true. Again it was Biden. "In the final days of his presidency, Joe Biden has announced a rule to prohibit the sale and import of connected vehicle hardware and software sy... | |
| Did I Expect too much? Companies like PS Audio can give better value for the money spent by selling direct to the customer. They benifit by getting a higher price but the customer also benefits by not paying for the middleman/distributor mark ups. A win/win | |
| I found a way to get around tariffs that will raise the price of audio equipment. @nonoise Here are the real facts so now you know. All commodities importing into china, need pay the 3 types tariffs: I. Customs Duty II. Value-added tax III. Consumption tax This just for value added Tax... (There are plenty more.)

| I found a way to get around tariffs that will raise the price of audio equipment. There's two sides to this story... I always hated Tariffs. It was not an equal playing field. I was charged tariffs to send my products to other countries but my overseas competitors could bring in their products here with no fees. It gave them a... | |
| Cheap crimp connection vs. Solder Crimps are excellent in the right application. In areas of high vibration or items that need frequent replacement. Auto, aircraft even NASA uses crimps. AC panel also has temperature change and frequent replacement installation. Perfect for press... | |
| A Simple Pleasure: Sharing the joy @mapman Be aware that you must go into 'settings' in the Qobuz app and manually change the setting in order to recieve the higher resolution. Otherwise it will remain at lower MP3 setting. | |
| I found a way to get around tariffs that will raise the price of audio equipment. Ah, the ’ellusive contentment zone’. That may work for a short time. The tariff effect will probably be less than expected and the need to purchase more stuff will continue. Just a short pause in consumption. It’s a sickness, much like alcoholism... |
