| What happened to Yamaha electronics? @emuagogo Honestly, me too. | |
| What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase? Thiels can be very finicky to get set up correctly. I have a friend that has owned a pair for about 20 years. They have never sounded good. Now, this is definitely partly a criticism of my friend. He has a powerful Krell amp and a good front end..... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @rjinaz86323 Your situation is different. You have a near field setup. I have a very similar setup in my office. It sounds great. My speakers are about five feet apart on opposite sides of my monitor and the cones are just barely in front to the ... | |
| Financial Limits of Tube and Op Amp Rolling I think, that as a general rule when assembling a system some reasonable proportionality makes sense. But in particular, when playing around with exceptionally inexpensive equipment (particularly if it is very basic and strongly reflects the tubes... | |
| Input output cable question I am using a Transparent Reference $2.6K. It is excellent in between Premium $1k and XL $5K. Given your streamer… I would consider the Premium. | |
| Seller Silence Seems to me the issue is courtesy. A timely response would be courteous and show there is interest in selling. An acknowledgment of receipt. | |
| Seller Silence I understand your frustration. If you get interested in buying something and are met with no response. It has happened to me and by and large has resulted in me not shopping used. When I make a decision to pursue something I want to move forward. ... | |

| Acoustics experts - a little help please OP, Glad you are hearing good results by changing what is between the speakers. Once I start fiddling with the stuff in between my speakers, I realized I could easily hear the hole they created in the sound stage. I motivated me to eliminate the... | |
| Test @Richardbrand +1 I find the best recordings are done this way. They get the venue / ambience correct. Like you are in attendance. I was reading an album cover recently... the notes went on and on about was a great recording this was, the grea... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers OP, Good to have picked cotton. I use a very densely woven wool carpet (See my virtual system). It weighs at least twenty or thirty pounds. It is highly absorbent and dense. Over the years I have experimented a lot. A couple inches thickness of c... | |
| Tube Pre-amp Suggestions. A stand alone DAC that also performs the function of a preamp is very unlikely to come even remotely close to the performance of a stand alone preamp. Companies have been founded on building great preamps and the best today are still built on two ... | |
| use of ChatGPT for HIFI As a casual user of AI. I have found its recommendations generally very good on sonic characteristics of equipment and general questions. But very bad at specific recommendations. It will often recommend the wrong piece of equipment... like I want... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers OP, What material did you choose for the "dust cover". The photo looks like vinyl, but it seems to come in many materials. I don't think vinyl will be much better than the naked tv. It needs to be absorbent for most speakers. Some ribbon speakers... |
