| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? BS…I bet that 70s amp has been good since the 70s.The Klipsch are attractive because they are bright. They sound detailed in shop, but after a short while you have a head ache.The room just exacerbates it.Get rid of them while you can. | |
| Power cord supplied with Luxman L-509X Integrated Amp I still use a shielded power cord however. This covers the AC wires in a shield that is grounded at the outlet and has no connection at the Luxman for noise reduction. Where does the noise come from that gets in there without the shield?And what ... | |
| Please Suggest An Electronic Crossover If you’re going to do it, then I would suggest going to a FIR based DSP so you have the capability to also equalises phase.That is where a significant amounts of the magic happens in passive speaker crossovers (opt not).Or one can believe that spr... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Is it normal for people to have admins delete posts on this forum? | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming @jhills Where do you get the KT120s and what made you choose those over the KT150s?I am driving my quite challenging Maggie 1.7s with a Rogue Cronus Mag. II, running Tung-Sol KT-120 tubes and it has no problem driving them to any volume I care to ... | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... This post won the award for the most simpleton-minded. The awards even for just participating, have been in news for a while:.https://novakdjokovicfoundation.org/participation-awards-good-or-bad/And it looks like it is good to encourage the kids. | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Thank you @prof | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Did you think this was ASR?OK… What is ASR?Do you recommend it?Apart from 3rd hand reports from Richard Vandersteen (albeit weighty opinion in relation to use with Vandersteen speakers),So what makes his speakers less responsive to springs?it does... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers f you haven't tried "springs" regardless of supplier under your speakers your opinion is invalid.And without some measurements, then even a “valid opinion” may not be a provable fact. It’s still anecdotal at best. | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... That’s easily explained by Voodoo Science.@turnbowmWell let’s pretend that people actually DO hear a REAL difference.Then what is the causal mechanism that is happening?One would think that they could put a scope (or A2D) on the power coming out t... | |
| Does listening to music increase your IQ? Kind of frustrating to see so many posts being removed.How does that happen?Who can do it?And why?Sort of makes one question their memory when the sands are shifting under their feet. | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... How do they work is my question?If a shielding worked then what about the distance from Hoover dam to the outlet?But then the last 5’ I need to run a $1000 cable?And with internet over power lines, it is not like the noise needs to be shielded fro... | |
| Lyngdorf MD-60 vs Audio Control Maestro X9 I am not sure I know what it means to me though.The NUC outputs the HDMI and the TV takes it.Would I care if/when I was running a higher power player of some sort? | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming @HardenxThe tube suggestions above are good as well. I swapped out the stock 12AU7 gain tubes for Brimar CV4003 and immediately noticed a more defined top end and slightly more soundstage depth. I recently rolled in a set of KT120 power tubes and ... | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming @stereo5 @holmz. He will give you recommendations on tubes for the Evo.I tried and that failed, so I tried email.My communication there also seemed to fail.We can sell our dealers Primaluna tubes at a discount but all other brands are sold at ret... |
