| Speakers for a very large room? I’d consider these:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis96g35-jbl-synthesis-1400-array-full-range These speakers are designed for far-field listening. I’d wager their imaging is nothing impressive <8’, but give them >11’....https://youtu.be/... | |
| Zerostat Milty really? Haven't tried this yet, but it's cheaper than all the gizmos out there:https://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=ekuv1gkqi54o905pfkl27j2p60&topic=25621.0 Best thing to do is use a humidifier with distilled water, and avoid pulling ... | |
| Amplifier Recommendations for Monitor Audio Silver 300 Speakers I think you might be hard pressed to beat your Yamaha for $1500 unless you buy used. I haven’t heard one of their vintage units in many years, but Yamahas tend to have a unique house sound, including their newest MOSFET amps. It’s not the most neu... | |
| Military grade Here's an example of a military grade connector:https://www.adorama.com/sw3502.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwpKveBRAwEiwAo4Pqm63e7zGPSMbX6vH8QILdAdXh2JLdD62c0P1jsv3cCub-H2VayQaFUBoCbJoQAvD_BwE - same fancy things used in aircraft. I should buy a box and sel... | |
| Line Magnetic quality The Cayin (aka Zhuhai Spark Electronic Equipment Co) brand gave birth to LM. Legend has it that the two brothers were engineers at Cayin, then struck out on their own. I've been told they source many parts from the same suppliers and have similar ... | |
| Recommend Affordable Integrated Amps (Solid State or Tube) @adn_abdat,The Hint 6 and E-560 will sound fairly similar - both very neutral but I imagine the Accuphase is a little warmer, which would be my choice with your speakers. It will hold its value well and is more of an heirloom piece as it has highe... | |
| Military grade Tinned copper strands. Whoopty doo. Some specs have silver-plated copper - the older version of such was notorious for corrosion. I love how manufacturers resort to using these terms to sell gear. "Military" or "aerospace-grade" doesn’t mean jack ... | |
| Recommend Affordable Integrated Amps (Solid State or Tube) Yamaha A-S2100. Has the best performing built-in phono stage I’ve encountered - better than that of the Halo Integrated by a considerable margin. I haven’t heard it’s built-in headphone amp but by most accounts, it’s stellar. Meters are icing on t... | |
| ProAc Response 2.5 Vs. Spendor SP1 For $4500 a pair in 96', I would certainly hope the ProAcs are better. | |
| Best speakers for $300/pr There are many popular speakers I can think of that retail for $400, but for $300(new), the Elac Debut 2.0s are probably best. | |
| replace HT receiver with newer H/T 4K receiver I would post this question over at AVForums where you're far more likely to get good responses. Mostly a 2-channel community here. | |
| What Characteristic Strikes You First About Un-amplified Music? Regarding acoustic instruments - the decay. | |
| Parasound ZPre3 and ZPhono or NAD C 165BEE for Active Speakers? Stick with the Parasound gear. | |
| KT88 for deep bass ? Just get some new production Tung-Sols. The preamp tubes have a bigger impact on the overall sound. | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? pulp and paper cones are outstanding - beautifully damped, stiff and light weight. They must not be driven in to breakup - so the operating bandwidth is less than more rigid cones.Hmm... I think you’ve got that backwards. It’s extremely rigid/meta... |
