| Speaker purchase question @jjss49 Thanks. Aren’t we all tired of meanness by now? Let’s give civility a try -- stop propping up our egos with put-downs. (I mean, 7th grade was a long time ago, right?) | |
| Speaker purchase question Your question is reasonable and some of the responses here are mean. You don't deserve that, OP. Amazing how even the most innocuous post can provide an opportunity for snark.I think the seller could have been more forthright but that you don't ha... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More! Regular readers will recall I was about ready to break down and buy tube traps to eliminate some boomy resonance in my room, but changed my mind when putting the Moabs on Townshend Podiums eliminated a lot of the problem. Well, turns out a good sh... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More! Good and interesting review. Good enough that it didn't need to begin with a prediction as to how good it was going to be. | |
| Room size. In my own case, height proved very important, as my ceilings are low (6.5 feet). Otherwise, my space is 14 ft. by 28 ft. with a hallway connected. A low ceiling meant that tower speakers weren’t possible. I tried several, all with different tweete... | |
| RCA Interconnect. @twoleftears "Husserl meets Heisenberg" -- that’s the Electric Kool Aid Acid Tests, right? | |
| AVA Van Alstine SET 400 amplifier -- burn in? @corelli -- thanks for the clarification. This is solid state. I think Van Alstine's marketing technique of using SET for a solid state amp can be confusing.@mesch Thanks -- will relay. I've been using both Atoll and Adcom solid state which, as I... | |
| RCA Interconnect. What does "subjective" mean? If I hear it and you hear it, it's inter-subjective. If I measure a number and you measure the same number we then have to decide what the number implies. That's also inter-subjective. Nothing is purely objective as lo... | |
| This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree Ford Pinto. | |
| AVA Van Alstine SET 400 amplifier -- burn in? @corelli Thanks for your experience. I don't know how long it's been out. I cannot find reviews for the amp prior to 2018, so I suspect that "years ago" meant within the last three years. Unless it just didn't get a review for a while after it was... | |
| Connect cable modem/router to different circuit than audio? @riley804 The issue was that my gear was not located near properly wired outlets and I had to run it off an extension cord. | |

| AVA Van Alstine SET 400 amplifier -- burn in? @riley804 Your caution is appreciated.I'm confident enough in my abilities to listen for myself. But one help for me in this hobby has been to hear about what others have heard -- especially if they have heard *any* change at all. Same as when I g... | |
| This forum is antiquated. @yogiboy I’ve joined Asylum.OP, thanks for the suggestions of other sites with better technology.@craig I agree with you that often less technology is better -- especially when ads are not in my face all the time.The reason I keep coming back here... | |
| AVA Van Alstine SET 400 amplifier -- burn in? @gryphongryph I’ll post them. I have tube stuff and thought, I should try a solid state just as a possible alternative -- for variety, for backup, etc. I researched Sugden, Pass, Belles, and some other Class A stuff, but since I put my system toge... |
