The Sound Signature of a Headphone Amp
@ghdprentice Thanks! My power amp is going to be hard to match. When I upgraded my streamer/renderer to an increase of around $3,500.00, the difference was noticeable but not to the degree I’d anticipated. I’m stuck in my head with the same scenar... 
The Sound Signature of a Headphone Amp
@ghdprentice I was told by the ASR Amp Designer to use tape outs to connect to a headphone amp. The headphones themselves are low impedance and easy to drive. Probably similar in sound to the Focal Clear MG. There’s a headphone jack in the amp how... 
Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s
I was looking at getting a Lavri cable for a pair of driver type headphones that I had made for me but I was not sure that I could afford what I wanted. Anyway, I then contacted Travis at Corpes Cables and I bought a Gravedigger and am very impres... 
Speakers On Wheels?
Hi Everyone! I’m really appreciative for the responses I’ve gotten here. I went to Harbor Freight today to buy a Ball Joint tool and looked at the casters they had there. I couldn’t get the ball joint on my car loose but building a dolly seems si... 
Speakers On Wheels?
@bondmanp Funny, two nights ago I was dreaming about a piano mover bringing my speaker through the window. It may have been raining. But no, I’ll have to recruit a friend to help me bring them up the stairs on a hand truck. @elliottbnewcombjr I wo... 
Speakers On Wheels?
@tweak1 Yes and carpeted no less.  
Speakers On Wheels?
And thank you to all who posted.  
Speakers On Wheels?
@soix I didn't think of the threaded gliders. I do have titanium disc gliders under my cones but it still seems like a lot of work. @elliottbnewcombjr I certainly appreciate your advice and thorough explanation. Tip over prevention was I somethin... 
Speakers On Wheels?
@erik_squires and @jon_5912  Sorry I totally forgot to add that I have four cones threaded into the bottom of my Quads and they sit in titanium disks. They sound better this way than any other option. So I was thinking of a way I might be able to... 
Best sounding FM table radio ever made...
Given the lack of local radio stations worth listening to, I would most likely choose this Ruark Audio R2 MK 4. https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/ruark-audio-r2-mk4    
Using Tape Outputs
@soix My current budget is practically non existent, as I'm again paying for new Quad ESL panels, looking for a new place to live and other inundating money matters. That being said, I'm entertaining the idea of eventually purchasing the Schiit Ly... 
Using Tape Outputs
@fuzztone Thanks, I was looking at the Schiit headphone amps. I did fill out an information request which was all automated and I got a response saying; the better the headphone amp, the better the overall sound, even though I’m tapping into my am... 
Best sounding FM table radio ever made...
Meant to mention, a tabletop radio that tunes into both am/fm and internet radio?  
Best sounding FM table radio ever made...
I still use my mono, AM only, 1957 Zenith Trans-Oceanic shortwave radio. It doesn’t sound that great but I’ve always been a fan of short wave radio and baseball games. While Deutsche Welle and the BBC no longer broadcast to the Americas, many stat... 
How do I get a job as a headphone reviewer?
With academia, I would write something related to my discipline and then follow the submission guidelines for whatever periodical I wanted to be published in. So I would think you could do a review and then contact Stereophile or whoever and tell ...
