| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? @tablejockey Thanks. Would like to hear on vinyl again. @artemus The brightness has always been there. If anything, the system changes have all helped with brightness, overall -- I'm now at the point where only a couple Steely Dan tunes (and some ... | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? Thanks for the answers so far. Since *everything* else sounds not-bright, I cannot think it has anything to do with physical factors. This narrows it down to the specific versions of the songs I'm playing. I need to compare the CD and the Amazon H... | |
| What is the sound level of Your Listening Room? Such a great question! My basement listening level when the house is quiet is about 38 db. I'm in Denver but not in the city, but pretty dense. We have a small place in the mountains and I did an SPL (above ground) there just to see what it was --... | |
| The Hungarian lands tomorrow. I nominate Barbara Palvin. | |
| MHDT Orchid versus MHDT Pagoda..which one is best?...and why? I believe at least a member or two on this forum has contrasted these. I have the Orchid and really like it but can’t comment on your question. But definitely search the forum for those keywords.There's an Orchid group on Facebook, too. https://ww... | |
| The Hungarian lands tomorrow. Tee up the goulash. | |
| Is this normal? I wouldn't buy from this person. Telling you to trust him/her rather than offering evidence that would justify that trust is not the same. Fishy. | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt I have an old Adcom 535L that still does a decent job. It's a mid-fi amp for sure and doesn't kick butt out of it's class, but I got it in 1993 and it still works well and really brings speakers to life. Used, it's worth maybe $200, tops, and ther... | |

| Best walkman (tape) for around $250? I think the dial on your time machine is off.[Paging Dr. EightTrack. Paging Dr. EightTrack.]Sorry, OP. Just meant in fun. I'm a bit over-caffeinated this morning. | |
| Single vs. Dual Subs OP, I appreciated your question because my room cannot accommodate a SWARM. When I move into a new room, I will be able to try it. Your question is a logical one for someone like me, and there's no reason you should be berated for limiting the que... | |
| In term of construction, what's the difference between cheap vs. expensive power cables @millercarbon In your experience, have cable elevators made a difference for all lengths of speaker cable? Did it make a bigger difference for longer or short cable? Thanks. | |
| Mahler vs. Strauss Mahler became a quick favorite for me during speaker auditions because of the amount of space in the soundstage -- not sure if that captures what you're hearing, but I can glimpse what makes Mahler's orchestration more demonstrative of a deep or w... | |
| In term of construction, what's the difference between cheap vs. expensive power cables @nonoise I don’t know how to battle exclamation points, and all caps give me a migraine. I’m with Mr. Lipman on exclamation points, even though Elaine is cuter. | |
| In term of construction, what's the difference between cheap vs. expensive power cables Here’s some explanation: "There’s already enough controversy over power cable quality vs. sound quality and now this question has Paul explaining not only why power cables can make a difference but their actual construction and discovery."PS Audio... |
