| I heard the Box I auditioned Martin Logan ELS versus their Motion 60's. Talk about hearing the box! It appeared as soon as the 60's were switched in. It makes you wonder if the ELS designers and the Motion designers live on the same planet!And it's got nothing... | |
| Do I NEVER shut it off…? Yes, leave it on all the time, so that when the power bounces on and off due to a quick summer thunderstorm you can haul the smoking carcass of your amp back to the manufacturer so they can charge you big bucks to replace every component inside. ... | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST TOUCHY SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? "Nessun Dorma" from Puccini's Turandot and "Is That Alright" by Lady Gaga. | |
| why did my record player slow down, speed up, then go back to normal? Happened to me with my older Luxman PD-277. There are speed control potentiometers for 45 and 33 RPM and they were showing their age. A little DeOxit cleaned them up. The wiper contact was a little dirty. | |
| An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers Hmmm...millercarbon is suspiciously missing from this discussion. He owns a pair of these. Maybe all those Synegistics Magic Dots and magnetic mousepads cured them. | |
| Any Thoughts On These? I auditioned the 60's and the ESL's in the same room with the same music. I bought the ESL's. When switching from the ESL to the 60, the soundfield collapsed, the voices and the lower midrange in general sounded boxy and like they were confined ... | |
| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? So if those fuses are $2800, I wonder how much StereoTimes got paid for that ludicrous review. There is no voracity or credibility left in the audio review arena. | |
| The Absurdity of it All Hearing degrades, true enough. But even a 70 year would be able to tell the difference between a live instrument and a recording - even behind a curtain. It's not all about frequency response. In my opinion, microdynamics is more important, the... | |
| Can Any Bookshelf Speaker Be Used Nearfield? I just picked up the Dali Spektor 1 for use as near-field computer speakers, driven by an Emotiva BasX-A100 with a Polk subwoofer. Other speakers that are not really meant to be near-field do not present a coherent sound field when listened to cl... | |
| Finally found a space for the speakers I’ve been storing... and I don’t love them any more spenav, No I have not heard the Persona line myself. My friend was suckered by their dynamics and bought a pair and hated them when he got them home. As others have said, too intense. He turned them back in for a pair of Wharfedale Elysians. I... | |
| Finally found a space for the speakers I’ve been storing... and I don’t love them any more Paradigm is a home theater line, designed to bash you over the head, not for subtlety. It's not meant for critical listening. | |
| Which Component Has the Greatest Affect on Low-Level Listening Music tends to sound thin at low volumes, that's why the Fletcher-Munson Loudness curve was developed. Most higher-end stuff doesn't have a loudness control, nor does it have tone controls. For me personally, the addition of the Schiit Loki allo... | |

| Schiit order issue - anyone receiving shipments? I believe that Jason Stoddard, in one of his videos, said they were having a problem getting the chassis'. He said the boards were in stock, but they had nothing to put them in. He also said that Covid is wreaking havoc on their schedules as wel... | |
| Not Thrilled with Vandersteen 2CE Sigs - where is the first place to work on? Although probably not the main culprit, the Dragonfly Red is a singularly uninspiring DAC. It's missing low and high frequency extension as well as dynamics and punch. I replaced it with a very old PeachTree DAC-IT (the original version) and hea... |
