| Watts! How many do we need? @atmasphere , is it watts that drive the speaker? (I know that if I put the + & - lead of my vm on the corresponding speaker posts. I get an AC volt reading which varies depending upon volume level.) But if it is watts that drive the speake... | |
| Thumper’s Mother @immatthewj - I dont think anyone complained about the word I used - it’s most likely an algorithm that instantly deletes. @polkalover , I do not know for sure one way or the other about that, and I do not know what word you used, but I jus... | |
| Which has a greater influence on sound quality, the amp or the preamp? Which is more important to walking? The left or the right leg? Not a good analogy. | |
| Thumper’s Mother happy moderators? @polkalover , I don't think that the moderators arbitrarily take it upon themselves to read and delete posts. My understanding is that if they receive a certain number of complaints (some one once said it was three) due to f... | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? @immatthewj the fact the unit was $10k is what blew my mind. This isnt a mCIntosh where you can go anywhere to hear it. Who the heck drops $10k on a used product with extremely limited distribution / demand that they've never heard besides a f... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @audphile1 , without any sarcasm whatsoever, I envy your critical ear. Or maybe I don't--I can see where it could be a curse. I still have not put a full 100 hours on the new speakers I installed in my system at roughly the same time as the thr... | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? This experience I am going to quickly relate is a lot lower $ than yours, but back in ’99 there was a local dealer getting out of 2 ch stereo and getting more into HT and he had an old heavily altered (to the point it would have been hard to sell)... | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? Here's the problem for the dealer. What happens if the amp is damaged in shipping? What happens if you choose to return it and it is damaged when it is returned? What happens if you scratch it or otherwise mar it and then return it? @rus... | |
| Which has a greater influence on sound quality, the amp or the preamp? Yes, but there is always a point when it is time to upgrade speakers too. Yes, I am sure there is. | |
| Shocked removed spikes, used blue tack, what other non spike footer "Necro-thread revival festival?" - Does not exist .... Not everyone has gotten the memo yet. | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? Besides, that's when true audiophile rig shows real class - when it achieves an impossible task of making poor recordings sound tolerable. Actually, @inna , what my experience has been is that the better my system became, the less tolerable po... | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? If it is bad enough I cannot listen for very long. However, last night, in the course of auditioning/breaking in a pair of new speakers I started with Witches Bew (the Living Stereo 24 bit disc, NOT the SACD) and it sounded pretty good to me (and... | |
| Summer Power Issues Anyone else having this experience? It's been seeming unreliable, to me, here in Western Pa. I had my system warming up last night by playing background music while I was preparing a meal and pwer went off--I ran as fast as I could back there ... | |
| Which has a greater influence on sound quality, the amp or the preamp? but you would never know how good your speakers would/could sound if you don't give it a chance to be supplied with good input. +1 | |
| Shocked removed spikes, used blue tack, what other non spike footer Wow, you had to go back to a 5 year old thread to find something more to complain about? Necro-thread revival festival? |
