| Thinking Out Loud Hello,You picked a good product to have fun with. The P5 and the Shiit Freya are both preamplifiers. So they sort of do the same thing at opposite ends of the spectrum and the Parasound P5 is like a Swiss Army knife. You can use both together with... | |
| and 30 min later.... Hello,I would go today if my wife could go with me and I knew what I knew now. Bottom line people and the relationships are the most important thing in the world. I would love to go back a revisit with those I have lost. The bad thing is I didn’t ... | |
| Want to remove grille from Soundbar but scared! Hello,I think the bigger issue is why it was making noise. I guess you figured out it’s the grill. Fix the grill. If it’s one of those metal perforated grills it was probably vibrating in the crease. Buy sone blue tack or white tack and mush it in... | |
| Dual SVS PB-1000 Pro versus Dual Rythmik LV12F- does Servo Technology Matter. Hello,👋, Yes I just woke you up by virtually slapping you. Please, Please do not keep going down this rabbit hole. You have a great start with your Denon 3700. The reason is you can divert the two front channels and use them for height channels. T... | |
| Power conditioner some say yes and some say no. Hello,First, Do you have the ability to run a new dedicated 20 amp line to you equipment? If you can, please do that first. Also, if you can have the electrician drop in a better grounding rod. 8’ of copper coated grounding rod or two tied togethe... | |
| New to me speakers Hello,10 years on a speaker is fine. You can check for dry rot but I doubt you will se any. I think it will come down to looks. With the tweeter/ midrange array on the Tekton. vs the coincidence setup you will be happy either way. The one thing is... | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... Hello,I saw a YouTube video of a bird on a transformer. The bird did not touch the connections or at least it looked like it didn’t. Poof! Gone! There was nothing left but smoke. The best thing I have found to show people power cables make a diffe... | |
| Auditioning headphones (ethically)? Hello,Sounds like it’s a good excuse for a road trip. The good thing is you get to take your listening room with you. 😁 | |
| Helping a friend build a new system Hello,I recommend Rogue Sphinx integrated amp. It does have a class D back end but has the tube sound. It has two sets of preouts one variable and one not for maybe a headphone amp and subwoofers if he wants. Plus, a built in phono stage along wit... | |
| So I just bought a Hegel H390 and Hello,The Hegel products have a really good damping factor. If a typical amp would have say 1000 damping factor I believe this amp has 4000. It’s amazing how even their smaller amps like the H95 can drive Maggie’s. This H390 is second from the top... | |
| Panamax Power Conditioner: Keep or Upgrade Hello,I second the Puritan PSM 156 or 136. Puritan outdid themselves on these two products. They take about 12 days to fully break in. I call it the 12 days of Christmas. This store in the Chicagoland area lets you try in your home before you buy.... | |
| The smallest tube amp Hello,This is why it stinks that Axpona is canceled so we could hear these new devices. | |
| So I just bought a Hegel H390 and Hello,I agree that the Hegel gear sounds great with a lot of speakers. My recommendation is KEF Reference 1 bookshelf on the matching stands for $10k. Don’t be fooled by the bookshelf description. You do not need subs with this. When you go to sho... | |
| High-pass line filter to relieve main speakers from low frequency Hello,I have been using the JL Audio CR1 crossover. This is an Audiophile piece of gear. It has XLR and RCA which can be utilized at the same time. Also it has home theater bypass for the subs. It is not cheap. But it is awesome and works with all... | |
| Power cord supplied with Luxman L-509X Integrated Amp Hello, I have not demoed it, but the cable listed above by Lak looks interesting. I wish I could demo it to hear its sonic signature. |
