| Speaker Wire question @rocky1313: I have a set of Tara Prism bi-wire cables I used on my MartinLogan Monoliths. The speakers were set up for bi-wiring. I now have speakers with two conductor connections. I simply combined both positives/negatives together and they ... | |
| Not enough power what does it sound like? +3 for @shadorne. I’ve never heard lows sound that bad, but highs and midrange will sound grating to you. As was said, they will sound loud and fatiguing. As @hifiman said, one can never have to much power, and current, not necessarily watts, is ... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? @Elizabeth: I recently made a set of phono interconnects using two conductor/with mesh ground. I can hear no difference, between direction. I have a set of Veristar Silverstream and my home made cables rate right up there with them. I listen for h... | |
| Theta Miles CD player Thanks for the suggestion. I need to do that. | |
| Theta Miles CD player My Miles has all the bass you could ever want. The fact is, I have to monitor my bass it's so rich and deep. I have no desire to go to another player. I love mine. Just asking... Thanks for your comment. | |
| Leaving Solid State Equipment on all the Time I have two class A monoblocks I turn off, after a listening session as well as two Aesthetix tubed preamps that remain in standby, when turned off. It takes approx 30-60 minutes for them to come to operating temp. As stated above, the temps of a... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? @almarg I will have to take a meter reading between the outer connector and chassis ground. When, I don’t know, but will try to let you know. One thing I know, I have no hum at all, with the gain turned up 3/4 of the way. I made a new set of phono... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? I think I may have commented on this before. I really do hear a difference in phono interconnects. I have a medium priced set of Verastar Silver Stream phono interconnects and can definitely hear a difference between them and say a generic bran... | |
| Putting your components inbetween your speakers. @noromance: Kinda a late post to your question, but from my experience and all I’ve read, you want your speakers, depending on what type, to be placed far from the side and rear walls and your listening position to be far enough from the back wall... | |
| Why am I hearing this? @widespreadpanic: Did the above advice fix your problem. Kinda a late response. I have no tuner connected to my system, but at one point, I was hearing a Latino radio station seep through, when using my TT with tonearm at rest. I was actually ... | |
| Is there actually a difference? +1 Mickeyb | |
| Small or large sub for music When I first purchased my Wilson Max II’s and was talking about adding a new sub, someone on this forum laughed asking why I would even want a sub, using the Wilsons. I purchased one JL Fathom 113 and it was great. I then added a second one, pla... | |
| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? Orpheus10: As I have stated before, I find myself looking for and listening to music that’s very dynamic, or at least, very well produced. Of course I have to like the music content, but want something that makes my system show it’s stuff. So much... | |
| Theta Cassablanca 3 setup related question and request for input @gbabu5y:BTW, I will give you a good price on my CB3, if you want it. It has the video board, which is pretty cool, to monitor your settings on your video screen. | |
| Aesthetic preamp @O_holter: I have yet to connect my calypso, using the main outputs for my subs. Just never think of it, until I’m listening, then too caught up in the moment and the drink. Coming out of my tape monitor, I use an adaptor from rca to xlr, then go ... |
