| Magnepan DWM bass panels in parallel from Krell KAV250a Thanks, I plan to do that. Has anyone had direct or analogous experience with the DWM panels? | |
| Favorite cover? Foo Fighters - Baker Street | |
| Best used turntable(s) around $1500.00 for playing metal and rock Choice of cartridge is probably more relevant than TT for genre. I'd recommend an Ortofon 2M Black with shibata stylus. Very detailed and good for math metal, but also shibata is a very fine tip that gets deeper into unplayed parts of the groove. | |
| AMP or Preamp Anyone critical of the current mismatch between speakers and amps forgets that standard audiophile advice is to max out on quality of speakers first and then work on what’s up the chain. OP did this and is asking the next step. Bravo!I would sugge... | |
| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! But changing the word won’t eliminate the snobs! | |
| Sound quality vs. volume Peachtree is nice gear but IMHO not meant for your primary listening system if that is where you go to rock out. Peachtree is good for near field or a pretty sound at moderate volumes in a social setting. I think you will benefit from a true high ... | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? Japanese remasters on CD circa 2009. Nice balance of mild compression for punch with clarity and dynamic range. | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? Uhh...your speakers? Nevermind. I had read your first post to me as being a bit condescending but maybe you really intended to be helpful. So I will holster my sarcasm this morning. Sorry if I baited you. My point was, REL subwoofers are desi... | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? You are crossing over way too high if you can hear vocals from your subwoofer. Crossing over? I just have subwoofers. I'm supposed to have other speakers? | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black @jji666 why do you think a tube phono stage (especially a cheap one) is a good idea ? A few responses: (1) I introduced this as a pro-fun suggestion. Tube rolling, especially if one has never done it, is pretty fun. Plus with a relatively inexpens... | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? For music it is Rel, Rel, Rel. They're not amazing home theater subs as they don't scare the heck out of you when something explodes on screen. But they're awesome for music - they don't make the room shake, they make vocals sound real. I also ... | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black Here is a pro-fun suggestion. It may not exactly be about a direct path to the highest upgrade, but as implied by the budget of the OP I actually think it will in the end be a good milestone in the ascension to higher audio:(1) Upgrade to an Orto... | |
| What area or country do you live in ? 2/3 Chicago 1/3 SW Michigan. Chicago is a great place to try and buy HiFi. Home of Saturday Audio Exchange! | |
| Can this be good first tube amplifier? Don’t listen to all the elites! As a first tube experience, Yaqin is great. I had a tube line stage preamp and it was really fun to roll with it. I’d suggest you start with just a preamp as then you don’t have the variable of the power stage tu... | |
| Difference in sound using different carts when digitizing vinyl record? I feel like a device like the sugar cube will clean up the sound but at the expense of the true analog character. |
