| Is More Better? When I ran Dahlquist DQ10’s with double Dahlquist subwoofo, the placement turned out to be important for the best imaging. Low frequencies are supposed to be non-directional, but I think it matters depending on your crossover point and the steepne... | |
| Distortion Distortion Distortion There is also distortion of a circuit in static conditions, and distortion under dynamic conditions. Take feedback- if the circuit is large and it takes measurable time to pass the signal, feedback will no longer be accurate enough to reduce disto... | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? My Cary SLP05 with ultimate upgrade provides a very natural 3-D image in my system, right up there with any system I have yet heard. It helps to have excellent NOS 6SN7 tubes (in my case VT-231’s from Raytheon and black glass Ken-Rads as well as C... | |
| Old SS amps One worry about older amps is that sometimes replacement parts, transistors especially, aren’t available. When I had my 1975 GAS Ampzilla rebuilt, I had to replace the original Motorola output transistors with newer (and higher rated voltage) Tosh... | |
| Just got a new power amp An additional advantage to balanced cables is that it avoids ground loop hum that you can get with RCA’s, especially troublesome at times when connecting your streamers to routers. | |
| Magico Pods vs Townshend Seismic Platforms @ghdprentice Thanks for the link! I checked it out, I have a few seismologist friends in the area I will ping on (fellow Geological Society of Washington members). | |
| Magico Pods vs Townshend Seismic Platforms @ghdprentice George, I likewise have my speakers resting on a concrete slab (wood flooring on top). I am being inspired by you to consider installing a seismometer on my floor for vibration monitoring! I should try vibration control here, though t... | |
| How old is too old? I agree with @ghdprentice , my decent CD player (Sony 5400ES) doesn’t compare with streaming Quboz from my Aurender N200 and Schiit Yggdrasil. I never play CD’s anymore. The sound quality is better than from my turntable as well. Here’s another ol... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? Brownsville Station, 1972, Falls Church Community Center (a hotbed!) | |
| Audio influencers on YouTube hiding comments from public view I actually learned a lot from MC, it’s too bad that he injected politics and especially some shakey COVID stuff into his posts (as a march 2020 adopter of the high test version, with permanent consequences, this bothered me a lot). I am not a Tekt... | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy As a 2 1/2 decade owner of a modded Marsntz 7C (following personal guidance from Saul Marantz for the modding!), and a greater than four decade owner of an Audio Research SP6B with lots of experience tube rolling in both, I am intimately knowledge... | |
| Looking for a more up-to-date streamer @ghdprentice an honor to be +1 by you, sir! | |
| Looking for a more up-to-date streamer Cheap- used Aurender N100H for about $1000 Better- new Aurender N200 for $6,300. | |

| Picking a power amp Check out ATC speakers- great value for the money, sealed box so easy to match with a room, and very dynamic. Check out Schiit for amplifiers- Wotan or Vidar. You will be well under the 10 grand for amp and speakers. |
