| Lyngdorf MD-60 vs Audio Control Maestro X9 When mine arrives and I set it up, I’ll let you know. It should be a month+ For it to arrive. A month or two to set it up… (If I get the XLRs connectors and wires ordered soon)… and then a month to understand it.So I might have something to contri... | |
| Learning to Listen: Neurological Evidence I find the subject to almost be boring or a self aggrandising lording over one superiority…However what I do find somewhat interesting, and possibly worth sharing for consideration, is that there is a lot of work being done on perception and reali... | |
| Learning to Listen: Neurological Evidence You could supply them a funnel as a passive hearing aid?I am not sure that the wet ware “of the ears” is really the most important.For instance Japanese ears did not work with Navajo. But I thought that that was the wetware between the ears, more ... | |
| Learning to Listen: Neurological Evidence Yeah I was on vacation 30 years ago and had a worbling sound in my ear.I went to the audiologist in that town/city and they ran some tests.And then asked if I was in the recording industry.I said, “no why?”They said the only documented case were w... | |
| New TT, Arm and MC Cartridge Condolences.The eye that requires a SOTA surgery might be a sign to get the SOTA brand turntable? | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers If it was cabinet resonance, then a board green glued to the bottom of the case might help.I would like to see some evidence that they reduce HD.Putting the speak on a plate of steel or rock would seem to make more sense to me. | |
| Please Suggest An Electronic Crossover I would be looking a MiniDSP with Dirac live and running an amplifier on each channel.Passive XOs would take a lot more skill, and probably…. Unless you are really good… the outcome would likely be better with the EQ of the MiniDSP. | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming @itsjustme what did you replace the 2c with? and how much better is it now?Would like to understand what tubes I would be considering.Or maybe I need to fix up the one VTL monoblock that is not working. But I got the PrimaLuna to give them a whirl... | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming @stereo5 your recommendation of the dealer is at odds with my experience this morning…I am trying to buy a set of tubes from the Upscale folks, and I got this back after the phone rang to VM:“We stay away from giving really specific recommendation... | |
| 2.1 to 5.2 (Vandersteen 2C) Had to go get a new antenna cable as we moved the OLED on top of the fireplace hearth.Listened to a sound bar while we were there… and after we left I asked the boss how she liked it. She said it was “screatching” to which I said, “yeah it seemed…... | |
| Power cord supplied with Luxman L-509X Integrated Amp OK…What do people do inside a breaker box to improve things? | |
| How long does Class A have? As my amps run on 230v I guess they draw 1/2 the current and 1/2 the power? | |
| Power cord supplied with Luxman L-509X Integrated Amp Most eu equipment is double insulated and they rarely run a separate ground. Most equipment which is to be sold there would be two pronged.A different cable may look nicer, but it is hard to not get the power into the gear with copper wires even i... | |
| How important is it to have identical speaker cable length? I would not fret…But when the capacitance is # pF/meter, and inductance is @ uH.meter then the number of meters can matter.,, and the resistance is also expressed in @/meter (or per foot in freedom units).It should make a measurable difference, wh... | |
| How long does Class A have? It seems likely, or possible, that mixed Class-A, A/B and Class-D could serve out three or 4 channels of sound to Tweeters, MR and woofers.But that would likely happen with speakers that are powered and have some DSP to serve as the basis for an a... |
