| Decoupling for Cornwall IV's @jayrossi13 , are you using these on Cornwall IVs? I thought Klipsch recommends keeping a full flat surface on the speakers. If you like them, regardless, I may try them. I used Subdude giant subwoofer isolation pads on my Forte IIIs. They are... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I don’t think music is authored on inexpensive amps and gear. In fact, the studios I’ve been to all had hundreds of thousands of dollars of gear. Not a cheap amp to be found. Certainly live venues might be using Crown and inexpensive amps for play... | |
| What capacitor would you use to upgrade Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary? Hey adg101, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I should've noted that when I say the Lintons got "stuck" hooked to that Marantz it's only because they sounded so great together in a media room. I put the upgrade on hold because the Lintons are ser... | |
| Second opinions — how have others (including non-audiophiles) helped you? This is one the best threads of 2021. The topic is intriguing and the responses have me thinking about things in new and different ways. Thank you folks! Seriously. | |
| The Doug Macleod appreciation thread I know this thread is aging fast. What a great thread though. I just had to pop in late to the Doug MacLeod party. I bought a $10 Doug MacLeod video guitar lesson a year ago. It was amazing. Because of my skill level, I scooped up about 3-4 t... | |
| What capacitor would you use to upgrade Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary? If anyone needs the schematic, PM me. Already got you mgrissom. My Lintons got stuck in a media room. I can't get them out. Why? They are hooked to a $750 Marantz receiver playing television and movies. That combo is wonderful. None of that ... | |
| Are Preamplifier’s Relevant Today or just a Hinderance with Digital Playback ? Great thread OP!Certainly, I think this is somewhat system dependent. Overall though, I like preamps much. I have the ability to use my DAC's volume control or run it direct to the preamp. I prefer using a preamp with it for the same reasons oth... | |
| Definitely lonely to be an audiophile Plus 1, Ghdprentice. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I have been listening to the CW IV since December in my room. They are staying put. To me, they sound like a live production. The create a large, seamless soundstage--once I dialed in the positioning, which was surprisingly harder to do than I t... | |
| Can anyone recommend a printable label for vacuum tube boxes? Awesome! Thank you. That was easy! What other problems can you solve? :) | |
| Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! My understanding is technology has changed so much in 25 years that a 25 year old DAC, while it may be decent today, can be bettered by many options in today's market. I saw a ML 36 DAC for $1500 used somewhere recently. I'll be honest--I'm not ... | |
| Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! Great. Keep us posted. I'm glad to hear you found your speaker soulmate! | |
| Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! JerkFace, I’m not in a good spot to recommend the Carver over another amp specifically. That’s a decision for you! Both are well made and offer a lot for the money. I’ve heard them both but not with your speakers in your room. Speaking of which,... | |
| Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! Take a look at this: https://doge.audio/product/doge-5-padc/ This one is around $1k.And, unless someone can tell you (a) they have looked inside a Doge; (b) they've heard one; and (c) they have dealt with the company--don't listen to statements... | |
| Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! Hi Jerkface! If you are going to hold off on a move until you can do tubes, the advice above about pairing a Carver 275 with Klipsch is good--in my experience. The Crimson 275 sings with Klipsch heritage/vintage stuff. But that would still require... |
