| $25k speakers, are we there yet? @bigkidz +1 (I don’t also think that room treatment changes the direct sound.) What do you need to hear/see/know about your speakers to take the next step and build a 20 year system around them? I think if you are near NJ, then you have a ... | |
| Vandersteen Forum "i drove around in this porsche i just bought with a flat tire, geez it just drives like crap, so i went to the porsche forum, asked people can this car be made to drive better if i went to jrz coilovers instead of the stock bilsteins... and man,... | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit Your prediction of my listening preferences is completely irrelevant to me. To put it politely I do not believe that it is solely @noske that is being referenced as the one(s) who has/have shown that measurements can be correlated to what peop... | |
| Vandersteen Forum I bought an older pair of Vandersteen 2Ce and did not like them. Found out one woofer was crackling (what I did not like was poor tweeter and midrange). I went onto the Vandersteen forum to see if changing a component or two would better the soun... | |
| Best turntable for the buck I think my query has been answered here. it’s apparent that $4000 is not going to bring my analog side to the level that I’m hoping for. Thanks everyone for your help. Well done @rvpiano - most people just “hope their way” along. | |
| $25k speakers, are we there yet? ASR members walk away. For the rest of us. Well there is something to be said for speakers that have good FR, IR, do not suffer compression, and have well behaved radiation pattern. And then we can talk about cabinet resonances, or a lack of th... | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit i thought this video was good. Good channel too. That guys has a lot of words… I thought the OP mentioned a small DIY speaker, but to me it looks a bit big. | |
| Are ceramic speaker drivers a good thing? Looking at a new speaker, I am interested in the Kharma Ceramic 3.2.2 (although I believe this is an older model). Years ago, I heard the 3.2.2s at CES in a room run be Steve Hoffman. It was the best room I heard at that show. Lumin White is an... | |
| Best turntable for the buck I was keeping my trap shut as it would just be posted what I own, but have to believe it would be hard to beat the Sapphire for the $. Me too. I was looking at new tables, but in the end decided to just overhaul the Sapphire with the new mot... | |
| Top 10 vintage cassette decks Would like to add an excellent vintage cassette deck to my setup. Luxman PD444 and Victor TT-101 make up my vintage vinyl setup. It would be cool to include a badass old timer cassette deck don't ya think Even the famous Swiss cassette recorde... | |
| Can moving wire location at circuit breaker reduce hum? Knowing whether one side of the bus has a larger DC bias relative to the other would be a great place to start. Without knowing why it is difficult to address the solution to the problem. My point is just that if this is significant the OP sho... | |
| DIY TT I decided ti just order a hot rod kit to bring the old SOTA up to spec. | |
| I'm at the pearly gates and they tell me I can only bring in one jazz cd I hear that they have “the 72 virgins” on heavy rotation up there. | |
| Monstrous power cables With as decent power supply in an amplifier, then there is also a “lake” inside of the amp. | |
| Can moving wire location at circuit breaker reduce hum? Get several cheater Plugs and make sure the AC ground is not connected. These are male to female AC connectors that you can disable the AC ground. Many times hum is related to to a ground loop between units. Even if everything connected to the sa... |
