| Speaker shootout question -- do you position the same or differently, depending? @djones51 IMO some people overdo treatments and overthink their gear. This is exactly what happened to me. I was gifted a variety of different treatments (corner traps, bass traps, diffusers) and also bought some Real Traps. In order to see ... | |
| OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!. A single lamp move resulted in 4 feet of added soundstage width? | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now @nymarty My recent experience at my buddy's with the Red was that USB was noticeably better into a Holo May DAC than the I2S. Worth experimenting if you can. | |
| Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there? Thanks for the additional suggestions. I've been listening to a very very good DIY preamp and it's not convincing me this is a path worth going too far with. At this point, I really want to try a very very very good SS preamp (maybe try one from T... | |
| Feets Don’t Fail Me Now @paul6001 Browns Fan may know more about physics than anyone since A. Einstein. But in my experience, it’s not likely. Besides, I’m not interested in such hypotheses. I’m going to trust my ears, and my ears tell me that carpet slides are the an... | |
| Is Magnepan still in business ? I went to make a call and didn't get a dial tone. Is Verizon going out of business? I know! I'll start a thread and ask this question. That will solve it. | |
| Feets Don’t Fail Me Now I copy and paste some great quotes from brownsfan made recently on this forum. @brownsfan noted three types of issues -- without mentioning the seismic one: movement of the speaker cabinet back and forth and side to side due to Newtonian actio... | |

| Power cords: Anticable vs Mad Scientist ebm just spouts off totally useless comments that rarely contain more than five words. I’m pretty sure he’s never even heard of much less heard Mad Scientist cables, so take it for what it’s worth. Nothing. He’s not worth your time. I'm surpris... | |
| Power cords: Anticable vs Mad Scientist You got me there. I’ve absolutely no idea what makes people like him tick. I enjoy and learn a lot from your posts though, so thank you for being the opposite of ebm. You are the thoughtful and experienced kind of person that makes this site t... | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse Synergistic welcome to ripoff city. @ebm Why? | |
| Tour dates of classical musicians I go to many concerts in Denver featuring top musicians. The Friends of Chamber Music series, for one. There are many smaller orchestras and groups performing, too. Support local music if you can. | |
| Townshend Podiums I have podiums too. Aside from the danger of tipping the speakers over, I cannot see any reason this would interfere with the operation of the podiums. Not sure if you were asking that. | |
| Integrated amp recommendation From what I have read, the Hegel, Ayre (also this one), and Belles recommendations stand out for quality. Rogue, too, but perhaps not at the same level. Black Ice also gets some good reviews. As does Schiit. | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time @bdp24 Long out of Austin but I saw some great people there, including Cornell Hurd. Others too many to mention. Saw some jaw dropping performances at Antones, Cactus Cafe, La Zona Rosa, Continental Club, UT Campus, and on and on. |
