| Has Radicalizing the Rig Led to Revolutionized Listening? As I’ve spent the past 6 months putting a system together, I’ve been listening to a lot of acoustic music in order to critically assess the each new component. But, in addition, I’ve found myself drawn in as you’ve described.One moment where I act... | |
| Preamp suggestions, yes again I have the Quicksilver Remote Line Stage preamp and the Klipsch RP 600M.Those are very bright speakers, but they calmed down when I put NOS in my preamp.The QS is very, very ruggedly made but yes, no headphone jack. | |
| 1000.00 speakers After we hear about $1000 speakers, will we see posts for $1300, then $1600, ad infinitum? | |
| There's gold in them frequencies! Better punctuation and spelling would make this very odd idea sound marginally less odd. And why not read it over before posting to correct sentences that don't make sense? At the very least, respect your readers and yourself by working harder to ... | |
| My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers +1 @dazzlingmd | |
| If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of? @freediver and @yogiboy Thanks for the advice. You own speakers deserving of respect and you clearly have thought about this a lot. I will do careful measuring and will heed the advice not to get too tall a stand, nor one that rings like a church ... | |
| If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of? Thanks, @yogiboy I may go that route. Exploring Skylan, Timbernation, Deer Creek. Local fabricators.It's hard to spend a little more and not a *lot* more to get something decent. | |

| If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of? Thanks. Consulting with Timbernation, too. I know a local woodworker and might also try a local metal fabricator, too. It should really fit properly, right? Otherwise, a lot of the other factors are much less effective. | |
| If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of? In my house, that would not fly. | |
| If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of? Good suggestions. Thanks. $340 for MDF may be ok but almost feels like too much. Will ponder. | |

| If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of? @chayro My speakers are Salk SS 6M bookshelves.Dimensions 9 W x 20 H x 14 D@decooney Good advice. Not sure how to look that up, but surely it's a good way to proceed.@rsf507 I checked out the anchors and they're a bit too much. I'm really look to... | |
| If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of? millercarbon -- thanks, that’s helpful. I’m trying to decide what to buy, so I am don’t have stands to compare. I have MDF stands -- I know how they sound. I don't have other kinds of stands, including steel. But knowing how fill material could af... | |
| Component percentages (Excluding cables) @WassaicwillMy streamer is the weakest link but I'm reluctant to do much there, yet. My DAC, the Orchid MHDT has a nice Tesla tube in it and is R2R design. I guess it could be improved upon, but it seems like it will hold me for a while.The next t... |
