| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music Blues is a fairly diverse genre ranging from more "classic" style like John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, etc., etc., to folks like Beth Hart, Joe Bonamassa, etc.,etc. It appears that the OP’s issues are mostly with the latter style. I’m not a musicia... | |
| Budget? What amp do you have, how large is your listening room and how loud do you listen to your music? In that price range, the type of music you listen could also play a role. Finally, what are you upgrading from or are you starting from scratch. | |
| Power on popping sound Assuming the problem is isolated to the amp which will most likely be the case, try turning on the preamp a few seconds before the amp and see if you still hear the pop. You probably will not. As for the whoosh sound, its most likely the power sup... | |
| Need a preamp? The Nobsound doesn’t mention if the two balanced and RCA inputs and/or outputs can be used at the same time. I suspect not. It appears to be just a volume controller for a single source. | |
| Need a preamp? jaferd, I’d say for $49 and the option to return, the Sys is a no brainer. My comment regarding the quality of the volume control was meant after extensive use. Otherwise it’s well built and functions as it should. | |

| Need a preamp? All great suggestions except remember the volume control in the Schiit Sys is marginal quality at best. Its fine as 2->1 switch box. | |
| Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time? "What labels?"Oh Oh, folks coming out of the woodworks with their fond memories, before they became full fledged audiophiles... | |
| Newbie looking for speakers I have a pair of HPM-40 that I occasionally rotate into my system and they sound OK. I suggest you give more detail on the size of your room, type of music you like, and how loud you listen to get better suggestions. With $5K or even $3K you shoul... | |
| Shocked removed spikes, used blue tack, what other non spike footer IME spikes usually work well on carpet on hardwood on concrete. For direct on hardwood, particularly suspending floor, some degree of damping gives a more satisfying bass response. Hardwood on concrete is a toss up between isolation and damping de... | |
| Salk speaker sound I was also curious about the Salk Audio speakers and did a little research. Aside from the potential feedback from the folks on this site, I particularly found the input from the Salk Audio itself on the Audiocircle site very helpful. I've not hea... |
