| Does Storage Damage Equipmnt? That depends on whether it is a climate-controlled site or not. I would not think a couple months in storage would bother it if it’s inside, even if it’s not temperature controlled. You are probably hearing the difference between the rooms. | |
| How important is an LCD screen on your streamer? I don’t have a screen but would like one. I think this is because I need glasses to see my I-pad and don’t use my iPhone at home for anything. I don’t want to have to have my glasses on when I’m listening. And only use my I-pad when I’m streaming,... | |
| Desktop speakers - KEF LSX II LT? I was looking for a desk top system last fall, auditioned Focal powered monitors (bought and returned) Kef, Sonus faber (too much $ for what you get IMO) and finally settled on the Kanto Tuk with matching sub. For the money I’m quite happy with th... | |
| Wireless kit for Subwoofers? I've always wondered if you could use Power Line Communication (PLC) to trasfer Audio signals over your power cables in your walls. The subs got to get power so why not send the audio signals over the power lines as well. this is already done with... | |
| Local network HiRes storage and player After looking into similar situation, I ended up buying a Blue Sound Vault. NAS’s are great but you must do all the loading via a PC, meta file editing, organising etc. There are programs that do this ok but still requires some effort and time. Th... | |
| Going from the Adcom GFA 555 ii to the Bryston 4b SST or SST2? The earlier Bryston's (NRB, SST) are a bit dry sounding, maybe a bit shrill. the later ones are far better. SST2 and up for sure if Bryston is your thing. | |
| New house, wife reveals she hates my Maggies- looking for stand mount speaker suggestions Good friend has magies and also loves Proac's he switches between them. maybe consider some Proac Stand mounts. | |
| Is bi amping worth it ? 601 mono-blocks, that’s supper over kill for K-horns. I would not bother trying to bi-amp with that much power available. Unless you're considering moving to low power amps then maybe splitting the mid-tweeter and bass would help. That said if ... | |
| Digital Room Correction: Where in the chain? Between your preamp and amp, I believe that’s what’s recommended by the MEN owner’s manual for your type of set up. Anywhere else will bypass some of the inputs and negate the whole endeavor for those bypassed inputs. From my listening demo of th... | |
| Converting Vinyl to Digital Look on the Tascam web site for a pro audio ADC. Friend uses an older model to transcript all his vinyl to digital, he stores the digital version to a CD or external hard drive. There is software also that can be used with a PC but its not as go... | |
| Wasted Years. I’ve done a similar thing with listening to my system for years and slowly losing interest in the music. I got to the point I would not buy music unless it was perfectly recorded etc. My system and the level of detail etc. was what I was looking f... | |
| Building Speaker Cables just a note: The actual amount of silver in electronics solder varies, with common lead-free alloys like Sn96.5/Ag3.5/Cu0.5 containing about 3.5% silver, while older tin-lead alloys, like 62/36/2, contain approximately 2% silver. Is that enou... | |
| Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ As for if its worth it to someone that’s up to them. But I agree this item has zero engineering backing to justify this type of price. There is not $90,000 worth of tech in a cable that can justify the price. Other then for bragging rights in a co... | |
| Old Vs New ..... Transport and dac. My thoughts are also the newer DAC will sound better and if its a nice vintage system i would look for an R2R DAC. Also to consider can you get replacement for that CD transport, specifically the drive and optical parts. I do not know what that c... | |
| Requesting Your Expertise - Best Options - High Sensitivity Speakers For A Smaller Room +Audio Note AN-J , maybe even the Herasy's but the Audionote speakers are made for this type of set up. The wall/corner position is what they are designed for. more musical then the Herasy by a long shot. |
