| Will you hear the most beautiful music... You may need a roto-rooter for your coronary arteries after that one. . . . | |
| Subwoofer between speakers? @whitefishpoint1175 sorry, I’m tired and something sarcastic struck me at that moment. But I do not believe that a well treated room is going to happen for me in this life time, so I am trying to figure out how to make the most of what I do hav... | |
| A post on AC Voltage Regulators - Why you might want one I thought it was an interesting read. Do any of theses look appealing? https://www.crutchfield.com/S-QUKlkvLE9Hg/shopsearch/furman_power_conditioner.html | |
| Subwoofer between speakers? @whitefishpoint1175 thank you for that. But in the mean time, I don't have a well treated room. | |
| Subwoofer between speakers? Thank you to all. @ghdprentice I am going to watch that youtube, but since I cannot get sound out of the speakers on my ten year old desk top and I lack the energy to dig out my head phones at the moment (fence building all day, www.hownottobui... | |
| Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned? I don't know if it meets the criteria for 'vintage', but in '98 or '99 I tried out a Mesa baron that I always kind of wished I would have bought. I don't think I would have been happy with it for the long haul, but it was fun to play with. | |
| Please settle a bet! "….and that Brandon magic continues….if anyone believes he really got 81 mil legit votes, you should also prefer Lloyds to Audio Research too." @lou_setriodes and how many votes do you think that Fat Donnie got? | |
| HFTs? @coralkong thank you for that explanation. | |
| HFTs? @raysmtb1 sometimes it all smells like snake oil. But here is the discussion I alluded to and one of the sites I found to buy HFTs at. The Cable Company also sells them. https://www.thecableco.com/accessories/acoustic-treatments/hft-speaker-k... | |
| How important is it that all cables come from the same manufacturer? "Asked another way: Do electrons know or care what is printed on the outer PVC jacket?" I think that it is possible that they may care what is underneath the jacket. | |
| How important is it that all cables come from the same manufacturer? A gentleman who sells expensive NOS tubes (but does not sell cables) once told me this (simplified): if interconnects from the source/front end to the preamp do one sonic task excellently but fall short on the second sonic task are matched with... | |
| Buying refurbished gear.... A SA10 from Music Direct. It's been a year and a half ago and so far so good. | |
| Where is Geoff Kait???😢 I liked a lot of the people at Audio Asylum, but I couldn't handle the one sided political censorship. I wasn't there for political discourse and fist-fights, but if that's what's going to happen, everyone ought to be able to throw punches. | |
| Has your system evolved in the past 10 years? After a prolonged period of stagnation, in the last less than 2 years, I replaced three '90s vintage pieces of digital separates with a SA10, and my Cary SLP 90 I had owned since '99with a SLP 05. Yes, it has evolved, but it was way overdue. | |
| Indicators of worn/bad capacitors? You can get a cap checker quite reasonably on Amazon. Just be sure to discharge the cap manually with a shunt before you use it, or let the amp sit for quite a while (so the caps discharge that way). I forgot about that once & fried my first ... |
