| My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms I have a large and irregular room... 35' by 25' by 7'... highly irregular... they sound spectacular in my room. So, your room sounds good. Unless of course it is all tile, and windows and reflective surfaces. | |
| My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms I own Sonus Faber Amati Traditional. There is no lack of bass or treble. I power them with ARC 160 amp in triode mode... so 70wpc. I seldom see them using more than a watt or two... sometimes ten at peaks. I can turn them up far beyond where I eve... | |
| The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!! In the morning I spend a couple hours painting. Typically I’ll put on my headphones and listen to a German internet station… 1FM Chillout and Chillout Lounge — I frequently end up stopping painting completely wrapped up in the music and and up bop... | |
| Am I alone in the world using a 1997 high end pro sampler as a DAC? It probably is dependent on what parameters you are comparing with more recent equipment. If it is simply raw details... then there may not be a huge difference. If it is about how natural and musical and fleshed out the sound is... there is likel... | |

OP, Get out your phone and take a photo, post in the virtual system area. Takes only a minute. you can post a new ph... | |
| Streamer vs Directstream Memory Player Thank you for sharing your story. But I am somewhat puzzled that you are not sharing photos of your system and components. I assume since you state that you are one that does not believe that digital cannot sound as good as analog you proffer this... | |
| Looking for suggestions for me new analog system How long has it been since you sold your analog rig. Technology has advanced tremendously in the last ten years. You can now put together a digital rig that sounds as good as analog at nearly any price point. The ongoing cost for music is $14.99 p... | |

| ???Safely Trading Gear Between Private Parties??? Show up with a friend and don't go in if it's in a sketchy neighborhood? Not sure what the question is. | |
| Blu-ray player cleaner recommendation A very soft microfiber cloth. If I have an issue, typically I can see it in reflected light. To remove it... no solution is required. There are specific solutions for sale. But these days I would just use the same Zeiss glass cleaner I use for my ... | |
| Hi end audio equip sounds better today than in decades past due to tech - T/F And some folks simply don’t like change. I happen to live with one… each change is torture… then a few months later, nothing but praise. If it wasn’t for my interest and curiosity we would be living with TVs with tubes… I mean the screen, writi... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable Thank you for clarifying. My point remains… they get you to very different places. Sensors are like DAC chips in audio equipment…. They are a subcomponent of the camera and their overall performance is the result of the overall design… software a... |
