| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music One thing that usually isn’t taken into account is the fact that, regardless of power, placement or how great we think our hearing is, human hearing is Not equally sensitive to all frequencies at lower to moderate volumes. So if you are speaking o... | |
| End of the World system @thecarpathianThanks for the advice. I guess I’ll stick with rabbits, ground squirrels, snakes and of course, an occasional elk (plentiful in the nearby high mountains) :-) | |
| End of the World system Since I’m already close to the edge of nowhere at the base of the AZ western mountains and there is not a hi-end audio shop within hundreds of miles, I would be most happy to stick with the gear I have. Erik thanks for the advanced notice -I guess... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? Here in AZ, it's quite necessary to have a large home AC (air conditioning) unit. When my AC unit comes on, there is a momentary dimming of lights and even a slight flicker in the TV picture. The one thing, in which I detect no flicker of the ligh... | |
| Great country recording So many greats mentioned here. I recently came across a Readers Digest double CD set of "The Unforgettable Jim Reeves". Some hard core country fans don’t like the combination of orchestration and country (I do) but the vocals are incredibly pure, ... | |
| How far away from your speakers are you? With my maggie 1.7s I have them 6.5’ apart, center to center (5' edge to edge) with the tweeter ribbons to the outside. They are exactly 41.5" from inside back edge of speaker to the wall behind and 42.5" from outside back edge of speaker to the w... | |
| Is it all worth it? I still have and listen to my old LPs and occasionally pick up a new vinyl, but at the prospects of soon replacing an expensive (short lived) cartridge and with the convince and the much improved sound quality of both CD and streaming, my enthusia... | |
| These seem a bit pricey $$$ Since I'm retired and somewhat on a fixed income - price no mater, does not apply. Value is and actually, has always been important to me. Whether it's audio gear, automobiles, optics or other, to me, there are four parameters on which I base valu... | |
| How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing! @hdbc3036 :-)Have to admit - a cold brew or a couple of wines may have something to do with the enjoyment of my late evening audio sessions....Jim | |
| How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing! @davegardner OPI feel the same. In all, I am very pleased with my system, in my space.My little pair of Maggies, very well integrated with a ADS sub and driven by a Cronus Mag II and meticulously set up, in a well treated room, sounds incredible. ... | |
| Can you put a Krell in an apartment? Could not and should not is sometimes two different things.As pointed out by oddio there is a bit of nonsense, at least mis-understanding, here. By law, any device, appliance, or component actually requiring a 20A circuit must be equipped with or ... | |
| Which to Upgrade first? My Amplifier or Speakers? Hi Norman, We haven't heard anything back from you since your first post.Would be interesting to know if and how your room is treated, what type of music do you enjoy. It seems you are quite happy with the job your current system does on the music... | |
| Blown away with 2 speakers hifi sound! @gongli3 Understand what you mean.Even though it’s the whole of the system, it’s set up and the room, that determines the sound and stage - it is the speakers that delivers the magic. Good speakers, properly set up, let us know how well, or not, e... | |
