| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @chayro As I’m typing this I’m listening to some Beth Hart on my ProAcs. It’s laughable how much better they sound and they are 1/2 the size, weight and less efficient than the Ref 3A’s. Something tells me it’s gonna be a long day trying to find... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @jasonbourne52 I’ve had the same near field set up for 2 years, utilizing the front wall is not an option due to the layout of my apartment. As I previously stated I’ve never encountered this situation before, I’ve had smaller speakers kick ass ... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @jond @roxy54 I have verrrry limited placement, I’ll experiment tomorrow. Thing is, at best I can move them back another 3 feet so they will still be 7ft away from the wall. These Ref 3A’s have 8” woofers, my ProAc’s have 6.5” and can rock my ro... | |
| Power regeneration - good idea? PS audio? @jumia It would depend upon your amp and regenerator…I wouldn’t plug a power sucking monster amp into a regen if it’s going to exceed the regen’s capacity. It’s my understanding that if you exceed the regen’s capacity it will switch from regen t... | |
| Power regeneration - good idea? PS audio? I just scored a Powerplant premier and put my Pre/Dac/Streamer on it. I kept the power amp and sub directly into the wall…I wasn’t expecting anything dramatic but there definitely is a noticeable improvement in space and dynamics. Nothing mind blo... | |
| Question about Bi-Wiring I have my ProAc’s wired up in a diagonal connection. Honestly don’t think it made much of a difference from a single run with the OEM metal jumpers. | |
| Chinese Cables that sound good Personally, I don’t use aliexpress. Interested to know what recourse does one have if there’s a QC issue with a cable? | |
| Buyer Dispute At $7K I would have sent them back to the seller from jump street and moved on. | |
| Slow used market right now? Shipping costs are pretty horrendous which doesn’t help and there’s the 2022 PayPal/Zelle sales tax fiasco. I pretty much have been looking for gear that’s within a drivable distance. Cash & carry! | |
| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? @preston8452 All you can do is listen for yourself in your own rig. I remain completely unconvinced. Just be sure whatever switch you buy can be returned. I’d be interested to know your findings. | |
| China built tube amps Fwiw- I’ve owned Prima Luna and it was superb quality. | |
| Paypal Changes for 2022 @zappas Drug dealers get taxed at the same rate as congressional politicians. | |
| Paypal Changes for 2022 @secretguy @jond Ok Mr. Do Right, give me a friggin’ break…paying taxes is one thing, this nonsense is a blatant overreach by the govt. I get destroyed in taxes, I’d like to know what snow globe you two are living in. | |
| Paypal Changes for 2022 It is what it is, hopefully the vast majority of people will stop using PayPal / eBay / Zelle. I’ll do all my buying at the used hifi shops and F2F deals if I have to. I’m not getting screwed by these a-holes…this is absurd. | |
| Beautiful listening rooms @millercarbon Literally! |
