| A turntable that plays all types of music well Weirdly, my Linn/Akito rig will not play polka...just won’t...Funny, my SOTA is able to.It sounded just like when we heard it live.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scjeyiDbaoQBut I suppose a SOTA plays MinneSOTA music as well as world music? | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? Cheap enough to try a DACS…https://www.topping.audio/productinfo/645180.html | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? Is a phono cartridge a current device or a voltage device?And what about a DAC? | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Technically it was the inconsistent unbelievable story-telling that was shown to be inconsistent and unbelievable. I am on record over and over again always believing anyone who says they can’t hear. Never argue with someone telling you they can’t... | |
| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? @vegasears, why are the Spica not cutting ?how does the Klipsch and them compare? | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers 09-15-2021 7:00amYou don’t understand Well if you or anyone else does, I’m all ears. What’s wrong with saying I’ve seen no reason how it could work, and asking how it could work?"This gets so tiresome."Why is wondering how something does, or could... | |
| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? Also, how would you quantify which fix worked? First fix room, then speaker/rack location, then electronics.If the room needs to be done anyhow then doing it 1st makes sense.But if the speakers are new, then I would return them quickly.While speak... | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? PS, db Volts is calculated this way:db = 20 x log( V original / Voltage now) So doubling the amplifier voltage = 6 dB louder in both voltage and sound pressure level (SPL) so long as everything is not over driven. Technically dB(V) is 10log(V)Sinc... | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... This guy… Arctic Death misspelled….probably drunk posting from what I can tell. Different folks different ways to behave while intoxicated. You guys should not give them much credit. Not worth your time. Let them be. I like the sarcastic tone to i... | |
| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? Wow thanks everyone!! Out of 20 comments it looks like the large amount of glass needs curtains, that is inexpensive & easy, I'll do that & the dynamat first, if It's still too bright a tube amp / new pair of speakers will be in the distan... | |
| Recommendations—2.0 Setup For Music|Film|TV (~$3K-$8K) There is no dishonour in used equipment.Also there are some stunningly good CD/DAC solutions.I would focus on speakers if I was doing it. | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? Translate**As we all know our speakers suffer from very low sensitivity,,,and the music consequently is only heard in bits and pieces,,,we need alot lot more power to drive our Wilson's, Vandersteens, Thiels,. Tektonics, Magnepans**BS…My 100W SS a... | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? It is proportional to current.Just they shove it across a resistor and use voltage amplification from the microphone.On the output side. the driver is not very linear to current.@rudy It was all cool into the cable impedence was mentioned. | |
| Recommendations—2.0 Setup For Music|Film|TV (~$3K-$8K) Can you tolerate used?If you need a CD player turntable it all adds up.Speakers are where you’ll find that most of the action happens.,.. and it is like arguing religion. They graph flat in amplitude, but if they are not good in phase and time, t... | |
| Crossover issue. Would you happen to have a DMM and a tone generator? |
