| trying to add a subwoofer to a Mac system from before subs were a thing…. DBX made a downward firing 15", subwoofer using a niobium, rare earth magnet. "I think it was a, DBX model, (DB-15)". It came with a separate amplifier and uses the "Speaker Level, Line-output" from your amp to the Rt./Lt., as the inputs are ma... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers Ha, ha ha ha, I guess with tekton as the premier, in all contemporary, "S.O.T.A." speaker design being truly but a foregone conclusion. Assuredly this is now the only real direction left for us, is it not? For all now must to turn our focus, our g... | |
| Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice If you can, try listening to a pair of vintage, "Polk Audio", (SDA or SRS-type) Polk speakers. While the SDA-SRS line of their speakers were primarily designed for hard-rock and metal, they are good for all types of music. If you are near me, y... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? No, no, no, no., NO! Someone stated - "there’s no bending the rules of physics here." This is driving me nuts! We are not "bending" physics, we are generating what is to us, "new" physics. And changing some of what we "thought" about the class... | |
| Power cord length OK, "Just for clarification." Most here seem to believe that keeping the (Speaker cabling), the same length makes sense. "Time alignment". Me too. But that keeping the power cabling to (Mono-Block), amplifiers the same length is a 'a wee but... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid I just showed up because of something I recently was read into. Which is very important to this discussion. "Or shall be shortly". So if you are on the edge and about to make an investment in this type of gear? You "may" want to hold off for a ... | |
| What Gear is Universally Adored? Oh, you meant..... "Nakamichi" gear of the (Pa-7/Ca-5 and "Dragon") vintage always gets a nod. "Onkyo" (Certain M-series amplifiers). As in those including, but also numbered between, the "M-504 - M-510" vintage. Those "typically" get a nod a... | |
| What Gear is Universally Adored? OH, Easy question! What gear is (universally adored) you ask? "Good Stereo Gear" is one type of gear, which is "Universally Adored" by all! And your question is even relevant to this "Audiogon" website! Next Question!? | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid One word; "Super-neutral". Well ok, it is in fact (two). | |
| Planar speaker characteristics So, I am NOT the only one whom neglects checking the OP date before adding my two cents! Hmm, nice to know! (AS somehow overheard in a crowd, by that "Plato" fella.): "If we forget where we've been. How shall we know where we are going"? Me... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid Man-0-man, The (800Lb. flywheel) was there really as simply an example of what is out there. And I guess that most of you do not have the capabilities that I happen to have either. And you would be "very" surprised at what some people "re-furbi... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid Damn I am long-winded at times! | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid In a nutshell you have what is a, "UPS" system right? Just "tailored" to your rig's requirements. But your numbers are maybe off a bit. "Maybe"? Maybe not. There is a rule used when using "any" inverters, UPS systems and etc. That is; "The U... | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? "Infinity"! Specifically, the model (RS-2b)! | |
| Anticable Cables: what do you like about them thread? I recently purchased a set of "Anticables" interconnects. They are of the (5.2) analog type with RCA connectors, with a length of (0.5 meter). Currently? I cannot stand them... But in the paperwork which came with the pair. "Anticables", do reco... |
