| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. If cable companies believe cables require burn in, why don't they burn them in before they sell them? | |
| Sound bar in a box . . . can't understand dialog. I'd be surprised if the Vizio had passive radiators only because they are typically more expensive to produce but I could be wrong, I'm not very familiar with the brand. The only thing I can think would be to put some type of damping material behi... | |
| Suggestions for active crossover setup please. Thanks for all the great responses. I understand that a lot of people don't use this approach because they want a simple system with as few pieces of electronics between source and speakers as possible. My first system follows that idea and I don'... | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. At least use Cat6, lol. Seriously though, Cat5 type cable is specifically designed for LOW VOLTAGE applications. You're playing with fire here. | |
| Recording quality... Yeah, have to agree most the other posters here. Most of the older analogue recordings sound better to me. | |
| How often is your system "good"? I'll be honest, unfortunately my system hasn't reached the point yet of being able to notice a big difference when the quality of my supplied electricity varies...working on it though. As others have said, I really enjoy music when I'm alone and c... | |
| Who has Audio Note AN-Es? This speaker is also high on my want list. Has anyone paired them with a Primaluna Dialogue Premium or something similar or do they like lower power SET amps? | |
| Same song different artist. Which ones do you love? LP Off the top of my head..."Take Me To The River" - Talking Heads"Hard To Handle" - Grateful Dead"Me and Bobby McGee" - Janis Joplin"Just Like Heaven" - Katie Melua"Where Is My Mind" - Trampled By Turtles"Shenandoah" - Trampled By Turtles"Take Me Ho... | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks I have a bunch of Dicks Picks but they get lost in my collection of audience recordings and soundboards that I've acquired over the years. It bothers me that the Dick's Picks releases do not include full shows. I prefer listening to full shows bec... | |
| First system advice, new to hobby... Is there a particular VAC model that I might look for in the $2k - $4k price range? New/used? The 160i looks awesome but seems a little out of my reach. | |
| When did good gear start getting your attention? Growing up, I had an uncle in North Carolina who we would visit several times a year and he was a huge Dead fan and did a lot of show taping starting in the early 70s. He had some awesome systems from what I can remember including McIntosh tubes, ... | |
| top 25 speakers of all time, no ribbons? Strange list. Missing many classics. | |
| First system advice, new to hobby... inna:Thanks for the reply. Definitely leaning towards tubes, or at least hybrid. The NAD receiver is only a temporary placeholder for the eventual purchase of a decent integrated as I may not be able to drop eight grand all at once. It would be a ... | |
| First system advice, new to hobby... Thanks for the reply John. Definitely looking forward to doing some critical listening soon. | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Premium or Dialogue Premium HP. I thought I read a Stereophile review of the HP that made some comparison to the the regular Premium...not sure what was said so take it for what its worth. Also, you probably won't be able to get a response from a big $ reviewer like that. I am a... |
