| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative”…..Part 1: I have a plan @daniel25 That is probably the most efficient path! | |
| Subs? Two subs are always better than one. They extend the soundstage. If you are looking for realistic sound then the subs will be turned now to a whisper... if they are not then the sound field will become compromised and broken up by the extended b... | |
| My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms OP, I think we are zeroing in on the problem. You are looking for crazy high bass. B&W are know to be very bass heavy. And you you owned B&W803’s and did not think they had enough bass. So, what is going on here sounds like you want a ve... | |
| A cable too perfect? I have remained on the fence about buying a cable cooker for over thirty years. I probably should have bought one back then... would have saved me a lot of time and complexity over the years. | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Interesting you mention Musk. I read an article talking about him buying five really expensive speakers... ~100K... I think for a gaming system. Then some assistant thought folks were trying to rip him off by suggesting $20K or more amps... and p... | |

| 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... | |
| What does your Virtual System page say about you? I guess mine is hodge podge. I listened them in order of what occurred to me. I think it simply mean I am not anal retentive. 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... | |
| Power conditioners and power regeneration @carlsbad2 Seagull... good one. | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative”…..Part 1: I have a plan Great plan. I am sure you understand the limitations of noisy environments. But you are doing exactly the right thing and should move you logically towards your goal. If I or someone have not recommended this book... it'll give you some great in... |
