| Review: Mad Scientist White Magic Interconnects So which power cables are we comparing here? What model/brand? And what interconnects will you be comparing? To those who say power cables don't make a difference, your system or ears are sorely lacking. It's one thing if there's a subtle diff... | |
| Your favorite obscure song Not a whole lot in this genre here it seems, but if you want to hear a relatively unknown legend from the electronic music scene - Tipper - Flares at Dawn Tipper - Exit Chapel Perilous Tipper - Cubic Squeal First one and second one are probabl... | |
| Wasted Years. A solid system should be able to make the music come to life and I agree that musicality and realism should be more important than things like resolution and perfect playback. I've also found myself in the trap of listening just for sound purpose... | |
| Olympica Nova III or V? I've always been curious on the Sonus Faber offerings but have never been able to audition them. I assume synergy is big with them like anything and room is a huge factor. Curious how someone can consider them harsh and grating and other people... | |
| Speaker recommendations welcomed Your room is pretty massive. I don't think a lot of these recommendations are really going to fill out a room like that. Big room, need big speakers, simple physics In my similarly sized room, I love my tekton double impacts. Yes they have sev... | |
| Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ I can see all points here. Yes 90k is ridiculous. Yes it's their choice it's a free country. Yes it would be better spent elsewhere, as someone said you can buy a pretty insane system for 90k and there are a lot of people and causes in need. I... | |
| Tough Nut Cones Isolation for loudspeakers, brilliant solution over spikes @soix nice I didn't get a chance to watch that so I appreciate that info! | |
| Tough Nut Cones Isolation for loudspeakers, brilliant solution over spikes It would be interesting to hear someone compare these to something like the Gaia Isoacoustics isolators. People swear by them but I hate shelling out that much for footers | |
| Speakers "Too Big" for room I think you will most likely be just fine! I have friends with smaller rooms and bigger speakers and it sounds great. Be bold! And enjoy your system! | |
| Room Treatments - ATS Corner Bass Trap Agreed with @kevinzoe , although I have no experience with membrane traps. Filling your rear corners are top priorities for trapping, with as much as you can get in there loosely (using R19 or R13 type stuff, the fluffy kind) and then covering wi... | |
| Anyone have experience with Cardas Parsec power cables? @v-fi I may just do that. Free trials. In other words audio rabbit holes that keep me from work. Gotcha 😂 | |
| Anyone have experience with Cardas Parsec power cables? @v-fi I've heard good things about Veritas but haven't ever had a chance to demo. I'll make sure I keep an eye out for one of those locally to try. Thanks for the info | |
| Anyone have experience with Cardas Parsec power cables? Yea I'm sure synergy is the key here. My system is super resolute and has plenty of air and detail so maybe it likes the warmth. Or maybe it is a dynamic system, so having cabling that matches the flavor makes it shine. Hard to say exactly. An... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? @jonwolfpell agreed, Pass designs like my XA30.8 are totally sufficient at lower wattages even for higher spl listening. I also have subs which really helps take the strain off the amps. I've blasted it loud as hell and haven't seen the needle ... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? @larsman you should get an actual db meter. There's almost no way you're actually listening that low. Your app is probably messed up unless you like library volume level soft rock @jonwolfpell I agree that listening loud with certain genres is ... |
