| Power Cables and Wall Sockets @geof3 the lights dim slightly on low frequency transits when I have my system turned up pretty high, otherwise it's not noticeable. Thank you for the recommendation about upgrading plugs. I think that may be an issue. The plugs are probably 40+ y... | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets @hilde45 I should have dug into the archives to answer the "wiring in the wall" question. But I appreciate the response and am looking forward to upgrading the cables to my amps to begin and see what kind of improvement that I hear. One thing th... | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets @carlsbad that is helpful. So more than likely, the power is mostly impeded by the last leg of inferior IEC cable. It seems almost fantastical that a $5000 power cable would make a significant difference when plugged into a standard outlet. I tend... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II @jaudio1 I have a Bluesound Node and it does actually have a USB out. Perhaps it is a different model than you are referring to, but worth knowing. | |
| Who uses ADS Speakers Yes, I got a pair of L710's about 1980. I always enjoyed them. I recently had the tweeters replaced and gifted the pair to my daughter and son-in-law for Christmas. | |
| Short list of musical subwoofers I was strongly considering REL as well, and believe they are a good choice. However, the REL hook-up utilizes the high-level speaker wire for input. So both the main speakers and subwoofer operate from the same signal. I went instead with a Ryth... | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? I was debating between the REL and Rythmik Subwoofer. I went with Rythmik due to the lower extension (down to 14hz) and fine-tuning capacity for integration. I appreciate the High Pass Filter to reduce the woofer excursion on the mains, enhancin... | |
| Sound System on $10K Budget A subwoofer (or two) paired with stand mount speakers is nicely flexible. I have recently built a system from scratch and have paired a set of Fritz Carbon 7 SE Mk2 speakers with a single F12SE Rythmik Sub. Rythmik Subwoofers: https://www.rythm... | |
| FM Tuners @scottya118 Thank you for the encouragement regarding the aesthetic of the analog faceplate. I'm really drawn to analog for the aesthetics and also the feel of turning the tuning knob. Years ago I had a Technics SA-700 and loved the dense momentu... | |
| FM Tuners When I first thought about a tuner, I didn't expect too much variation in quality. I was mistaken for sure and now that I know more about some of the differences it is hard to settle for less than a good match for my current system. It seems that ... | |
| FM Tuners The Accuphase looks like a very fine piece, especially being refurbished with expert care, but the price is too much of a stretch for me. I'd be more comfortable under $300. These responses have been very helpful and I am going back and forth be... | |
| FM Tuners Ha Big Greg, I was writing my question about antennas before your response! | |
| FM Tuners This has been very helpful. Thank you for your recommendations. Regarding the reception of a tuner in general, am I likely to pick-up about the same stations as I do in a car with an indoor antenna? With the same antenna, is the reception simila... | |
| FM Tuners Thanks Yogiboy. I just wanted to make sure that I understood. | |
| FM Tuners It seems that the technology for tuners has not changed very much since the 70's, so vintage may be at least as good as something newer. |
