| Should I use Impedance 4 or 8? No risk of damage. Use the taps that sound the best to you. | |
| Power cables and power conditioners Imagination is a wonderful thing! | |
| Kef blade 1 meta @kr4 1! The OP should consider a pair of the Fosi V3 Monos with the 48 volt power supplies. These are giant-killer Class D amps. Spending thousands of $$$$ on those other amps is IMO a waste of money. | |
| Perhaps the most annoying myth in audio of 2025? Talking about Loudness! For a particular speaker/room/ listening spot there is a certain sound level that quickly becomes annoying/abrasive depending on the chosen music. Speakers have the most distortion compared to the rest of the audio chain from source to listener. P... | |
| Perhaps the most annoying myth in audio of 2025? Talking about Loudness! I prefer electrostats because they can play at ppp levels significantly better than dynamic speakers, which excell at ffff levels. | |
| Need help troubleshooting an amplifier. Tell us what amp you have. Don’t be shy! Since the builder/designer is still alive and kicking he would be the obvious first choice to go to! Send him the amp and tell him to fix it! You don’t know enough about electronics to work on it. | |
| I feel for you @carlsbad2 +1 ! | |
| Seeking a Power Conditioner @dean_palmer +1 ! | |
| DAC break-in question The power of confirmation bias! | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? If you have an integrated amp a separate preamp/line stage is not needed. | |
| Audio Technica AT 1005 ii or Fidelity Research FR54? +1 for the Fidelity Research 54 arm. I have one, along with the FR29. Both are excellent arms available for affordable prices! | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? Yes! I listen to NPR on WUSF 89.7 FM Tampa. Mitsubishi DA-F10 on 24/7. | |
| Strange Cable Experiment Did you do a blind listening test? If not, such is the power of expectation bias. Any change is perceived as positive in a majority of the times. | |
| Forward Sounding Speaker Crossover Components - Suggestions? Capacitors, inductors, resistors have ZERO to do with imaging and soundstage. Instead I suggest you buy a pair of speakers that will give you 3-D dimensionality from anywhere in the room - Ohm Walsh's. I have a pair and they are indeed the best at... | |
| Measurements, A/B testing - TAS discusses why they’re lacking John Curl is wrong! Audio equipment measurements are settled engineering. There are no "unknowns" to be discovered! You could say that audio engineering started back in 1877 with Edison's Talking Cylinder. By the 1930's the foundations of modern a... |
