| New Boenicke Audio W11 SE Speaker Review // A New Reference !? I heard the W8's at the last RMAF in 2019. The sound that came out of those small floor standers was jaw dropping. It was one of my favorite speakers at the show. I would love to hear the W11's and I do understand they like a high current amp t... | |
| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. Just go my 360 pre amp back from Keith for the "reference" upgrade from "esp". Again, after my initial listening it was more open and spacious. If you have the esp but not the "esp/ref" I would recommend the upgrade since it will probably be the... | |
| New listening room question If you can't do double wall construction or double sheetrock, seal all cracks with acoustic calk. I would go slow on acoustic treatments until you get your room finished (furniture and equipment in). I think there is tendency to over treat rooms... | |
| Listening to music I don’t particularly like If I don't like the music, I won't listen to it no matter how great the sound is. There are a number of audiophile releases that sound excellent but the music sucks in my opinion. | |
| Audiophile Fuses - Are We Certain They Provide Protection? @millercarbon I had a blue and it blew. Was sent an orange at a higher value and it blew in the 360 pre amp. I don't know what fuses SR are using but this is what it looked like when I peeled back the organge covering on my system page. I'm not... | |
| looking for a chair If you can keep your ears above the back you should be OK. Look at West Elm, they have a lot of choices. | |
| Audiophile Fuses - Are We Certain They Provide Protection? I blew two different SR fuses on two different Herron pre amps using different fuse values. Once I went back to a regular fuse (glass and ceramic) I have had no issues. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A, Herron VTSP-360 and Herron M2 That would be a good question for Keith. 150w into 8 ohms and 275w into 4 ohms. I believe they only run a few watts in class A but I'm not entirely sure . | |
| Herron VTPH-2A, Herron VTSP-360 and Herron M2 My VTSP-360 ESP has been sent to Keith for the REF upgrade. I did upgrade from the M1 amps to the M2 amps. Every change has been a positive one! | |
| Best Phono You've Heard Under $2200 A friend has a Darlington MP-7 and really likes it. US made with user specific options. Probably in the 1K range. | |
| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. I only visit a HiFi store if I'm going to buy something or if they have a customer event with a manufacture. I know the stores basic inventory in the Seattle area. If I travel, thats a different story and may pop into a retailer noting that I'm ... | |
| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. I live in the Seattle area and frankly the options for audio equipment is pretty pathetic. You either have a bigger retailer with the same equipment (that I have no interest in) that rarely changes or the smaller guys that cater to limited budget... | |
| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. Just sent my 360 back to Keith for the "reference" upgrade. I have had all his preamps and the 360 ESP (soon to be reference) are really special. It's my end point with the M2 mono blocks. | |
| If a " system " cannot do this, I move on........ @mrdecibel plus one. I know exactly what you are talking about. This is the formula for a good recording. Song writing + talent + producing + engineering + mixing + mastering = a potentially good recording. If one of those elements are missing... | |
| Live music you have attended that left impact....perhaps better than you expected. My first concert was Jimi Hendrix and I worked my way through the rock bands of the 70's. I now enjoy smaller venues with jazz etc. and really focus on the music instead of the "event". I was at Benaroya hall this last Sunday and heard a wonderf... |
