| What are we objectivists missing? A prime example of this matter is tube amps vs solid state ones or what some called glass vs sand amps. Compare a good tube amp’s specs, distortion, damping factor, actual power out put, square wave accuracy etc. vs. most class D amps, all receiv... | |
| How to secure a large power cord to a piece of equipment? Two turns of electrical tape & it’s nice & tight. I also cut a small wood block & put it under the connector for good measure. Thanks everyone for your help! Nice to be a part of a forum that actually works. | |
| How to secure a large power cord to a piece of equipment? Thanks everyone for your thoughts. The same power cord fits very tightly into my Innuos server. I have it propped up just a bit w/ a wood block but I will also try a few turns wrapped around the connector w/ the self fusing tape too. | |
| Horn speakers are really bright? Horn loaded speakers are generally so efficient that it’s critical that whatever amp you’re driving them with needs to sound good in the first few to maybe 30 watt peaks. Many solid state amps don’t unless they stay in class “A” mode throughout th... | |
| Cable recommandations I replaced my Analysis Plus speaker cables with a biwire set of Triode Wire Labs. The Analysis were smooth w/ a nice rich tone compared to what I had previously but the Triodes maintained the great tone but opened up more detail & nuance. I... | |
| Beware poor sounding media I’m new to streaming on Qobuz with my Innuos Zenith Mark II which I’m really enjoyed for it’s ease of use & vast library to choose from. A lot of it sounds good to very good, dynamic, quiet, clean & detailed. Fun! That all said, when an a... | |
| Power Cord for DAC I use Triode Wire Labs with my Innuos Zenith Mark III & it sounds really good. Triode makes really good cables @ relatively reasonable prices. Probably worth checking them out. | |
| Need Speakers at least 4 feet high I doubt any speaker at any size or price will sound too good with a “White House sized” chair directly on front of them. I used to do a version of this growing up as a teenager w/ my Mom & it appeased both our needs assuming you don’t listen t... | |
| Warm Tube Amp(s) to Tame Hyper-Accurate Speakers? What is the source of your music? Digital? Analog? That’s worth examining too. I lot of digital streaming equipment ( computers, DACS, servers) sound a bit harsh & over “etched” to me. They can be very tight, clean, fast & dynamic but I ca... | |
| Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room? Funny. I’m not sure when it comes to speakers that Volkswagen quality in a Cadillac space wouldn’t be better…….. | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno Sorry. I meant the Volti Audio Razz. Rivals are even better but more than twice the cost.. | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno Check out Volti Audio Rivals. Not stand mount but relatively small foot print. Sound very good on all types of music & will play louder w/ ease then any other speaker mentioned. Hand built in TN by Greg Roberts using pro drivers in a beautiful... | |
| How important is spending time with your gear? I initially thought it was ridiculous question but after reading the responses, think it's actually an interesting topic. I have had several different systems over 40+ years, many of which were very good for their time & often involved large s... | |
| Question about speaker angle I meant say cell phone apps. Sorry | |
| Question about speaker angle There are a few good cell phones to measure speaker angle toe in. Just do a search to find them. Simple to use & accurate. Fstein, I curious what angle & distance from the floor did you find was most effective in driving your neighbor... |
