| Why not? Rogers High Fidelity in North Adams, MA offers a house made high quality power cord for their amps. I use it with their EFH 200 Mark II integrated w/.excellent results. | |
| Warming up digital in my setup Maybe start w/ a real streamer, should be much better & then a upgrade on the DAC if necessary. | |
| Direct Drive Of course anyone who knows nows there are good & bad examples of just about every turntable design in just about all price ranges. This goes for tonearms too but maybe not so much for cartridges. Similar to loudspeakers (not coincidentally), t... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? Some great answers here! So funny! Made my morning. Abraham Lincoln was 6’4” or 5” back when the average man was almost a foot shorter than that. He was asked ideally how long should a man’s legs be & his response was “long enough to reach th... | |
| Indentical measurments = Identical performance? Just about any decent amp measures better than almost any tube amp of almost any price in most all of the typical parameters. Look at the square wave reproduction for one good example. Does that mean the solid state amps sound better / more like l... | |
| Where do you want your system to go when you go? Funny question. I bought in the last year a Rogers High Fidelity integrated amp which comes w/ a lifetime warranty. One of Roger’s advertising lines is equipment your kids will be fighting over…. I asked Roger how old he was & he’s exactly... | |
| tube pre & ss amp integrated You might want to check out Rogers High Fidelity. Point to point wired, very high quality integrated tube amp made in western MA. They have a “ used” EFH 200 that comes w/ their full lifetime warranty. I think you can demo it too. I have one &... | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... Many great suggestions!! Eva Cassidy was mentioned previously. Check out her Songbird/ Live at Blues Alley. Great combo of power & grace w/ a great band behind & excellent live recording. Some harder blues / rock & some beautiful sol... | |
| Questionable Tweak I swear my system sounds quicker & more agile w/ my cats in the room, my full bodied w/better lower midrange w/my dogs, more fluid w/ my fish & downright scary w/ my snakes.......... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? I've had many fine speakers over the years & while there are no hard & fast rules regarding music reproduction, I think that generally high efficiency speakers sound more like live music than lower ones. Its not just a simple matter of mor... | |
| NEWS FLASH!! Listening to Music is NOT a "Distraction." Lots of great comments. I’ve always found it interesting that the words fun or entertainment in Spanish is divercion or in English diversion. Music can be different things to different people it certainly can divert our attention away from our t... | |
| Rogers High Fidelity EHF 200 MK2 I'm sure Roger can help you out. I don't use a sub when listening to music, my speakers w/ the amp don't need it. Its so great to be able to talk directly w/ the designer & builder of a quality American made product!! It was one of the major ... | |
| Rogers High Fidelity EHF 200 MK2 I use the amp with the clear Lexan cover as I have two very curious cats. Roger claims the amp dissipates better with it but I don’t know about that. Seems like most of the heat is of course on top but also substantial heat going forward from the... | |
| Rogers High Fidelity EHF 200 MK2 I've owned one for about 8 months & love it! I bought it directly from Roger Gibboni who is the real deal - very smart & experienced guy. Rock solid construction, sounds excellent & quite powerful. It does run hot & needs room to ... | |
| The greatest tweak ever? Great comments! All I can is that the best sound I ever heard at a rock concert was the Dead @ SUNY Binghamton , NY in 1977 & even though I had already gone beyond my pot smoking days, the auditorium was full of a combo of I’ll guess 75% pot s... |
