| Which pre amp do I keep, Perraux SM-2 or Plinius CD Lad I’m not sure anyone can help much. It is the one you like the sound of most. | |
| Turntables.....A point of diminishing returns? I’d like there to be a point. But there really isn’t at this point. The more sensitive your system the more the sound can improve by an input improvement. It really boils down to balancing your income / musical appreciation as to where you stop...... | |
| New power cable for streamer. Yes... I keep hoping stuff like this will not matter... yet it does. | |
| Best way to wipe off the dust cleaning the gear Swiffer. Maybe I am just lazy. But it works great. | |
| Speakers The single most critical component I appreciate your enthusiasm. Enjoy the speakers, I think you are going to put something together with the drivers.When I was in college the “greatest” speakers were the “Voice of the Theater”... JBL? Maybe some other company. It was a long time a... | |
| Your Opinions Cool. I never noticed the sort button. .I think chronological as default makes sense. Then you are not inclined to duplicate the first things said, if it happens to mirror your thoughts. | |
| Speaker Cables @cakyolFor your main system, go up to 6 AWG then :-)At that thickness, almost all copper wires will have negligible resistance.Seriously, as I said, check the inductance and capacitance of the wire and buy accordingly :-)I I find my Transparent Ul... | |
| My Terrible Emotiva Experience @artemus_5 Its a Grown up position. its like when you were 4 yrs old and fell down and started to cry. Then your dad comes over, and, seeing that you are not hurt, he brushes you off & tells you to, "Go on now. You're a big boy"So, I see you ... | |
| Speaker Cables One of my favorites, which I still use on my office system was HD12D... something like that. Years ago, I think it was Stereophile or The Absolute Sound, just for fun, went to Home Depot and got a 12 gauge extension cord and threw it into the mix.... | |
| Turntables.....A point of diminishing returns? Good question. The answer depends on your means, preferences, and sensitivity. Let’s say you have a really expensive (for you) $5K turntable and you love music and a good system and your income doubles? That $10,000 table looks more enticing and r... | |
| My Terrible Emotiva Experience @himeropeThanks for your sharing. I appreciate your reasoned and well presented experience. You come across as reasonable and perfectly justified in your disappointment. Where Artimas’ is coming from is hard to understand..Unfortunately, for every... | |
| Definitely lonely to be an audiophile I love traveling. The moment I am at the airport I am off the grid. Although someone could call me they don’t. Then in Japan or China, wherever I am, the moment I have a minute I slip off into anonymity and explore the quiet back streets and parks... | |
| Japanese Audio Having worked and lived in Japan off and on over the last 25 years or so. To me it fits the culture... supremely considerate, conforming, traditional, and meticulous in iterative in pursuit of perfection. Crafting the essence of the music not slap... | |
| Switching to battery power Good and timely question. Over the years I have heard a number of units that were spectacular sounding that run off battery power. My Aurender WE20se has an internal battery. It seems logical that if you could run your whole system... what potenti... | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! Well speaker choice is a very personal thing. Given what you were looking for I think there are some obvious places to look. I have been an audio file for 50 years. I have enjoyed plateaus and which iced stuck with the same equipment for 5 to 10 y... |
