| I got to get me some of this tiny vinyl. I see a new “tiny” arm / cartridge alignment tool coming soon for those obsessed with getting every last detail in those tiny grooves…. | |
| Avantgarde Trio replacing Dunlavy SC-V? I owned & enjoyed Avantgarde UNO’s & Duos in a few different rooms over a number of years. Getting them dialed into a room to sound great can be very challenging & in one space, I was never really fully happen with them. Trios w/o ... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? Believe it or not, Carmen at the Metropolitan Opera House in NYC in 1968 or so. To this day, I don’t love opera but I very much appreciate the talent of the singers & musicians. | |
| Attention Horn Owners I’ve really enjoyed my Volti Rivals for almost 3 years! I’ve owned Avantgarde Unis & Duos years ago & they were also very good but challenging to get their subs to integrate smoothly w/the midrange & sound right. The Rivals are much be... | |
| Was anyone else caught out by this? First cordless tone arm - a real breakthrough! | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? I too had Advents in 1975 & then a stacked pair. They were way better than their very reasonable price would suggest. They of course had excellent bass & pretty decent mids & highs if not the most open, extended & detailed in compa... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? I would be very curious to hear an A/B demo of a variety of speakers only playing at lower volumes, say 70 db, with both high quality , high power solid state amps vs high quality, low powered tube amps. I would not be surprised if the for the fir... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? Ghdprentice -are you telling me that a high quality solid state amp that can put out 300 watts / channel will sound better than a high quality 100 watt / channel amp when they’re only driving an 89 db sensitive speaker to level of 70 db’s & th... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? @jrareform - if your room is sufficiently large & your speakers / amp combo can handle it, I find my ears start to overload around 103-105 peaks assuming the music is well recorded. I listen at that level very occasionally just for laughs. I ... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? I find it funny that so many people listen at levels where their amps, even with very inefficient speakers, are barely putting out a watt or two or maybe 10 on peaks. What’s the point of having big powerful solid state monsters if that is so? ... | |
| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables My guess is that the extra set of cable connectors to join two different sets of cables might be a big cause of sound degradation even if both sets of cables were the same. | |
| Looking to Develop A Short List of Amplifier Candidates For A Pair Of JBL 4367 Speakers You might consider an integrated amp from Rogers High Fidelity. I have similar high sensitivity speakers to those w/ big 15” woofers & horn loaded mids & tweeters (Volti Rivals) & his EHF 200 Mark II drives them superbly in a big room.... | |
| Real musicians don't need "awards." The fact that neither Jethro Tull nor Ian Anderson himself are not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame demonstrates the minimal significance of being inducted into it. He’s amongst the most talented musicians in any genre & both a brilliant, ... | |
| Seeking horn array loudspeakers with a maximum price of $17,500.00 per pair. Another recommendation for Volti Rivals. I really enjoy mine. Not even sure that you will have to turn on your big Bryston amp to get to 60 db…. You might need 1/10 of a watt on peaks w/ them at 98+ db sensitivity. Seriously, some amps don’t sound... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile My foray into the deep, dark & at times, very pricey audiophile road had two different origins. The first was when I went to a store in 1974 to audition Large Advents which were quite nice but then listened to a relatively new brand, ADS &... |
