| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? @hilde45 How efficient do you require for the power you're running? I contacted Greg who confirmed I could run 2 watt flea amps on my Volti Rival 100dB. The Cornwall IV is 102dB | |
| Racks, equipment and footers For a relatively inexpensive (compared to HRS/CMS and other top isolation racks) but some decent damping properties, wood is a great choice. Box Furniture Company here Timbernation here ButcherBlock Acoustics here Core Audio Designs here - a b... | |
| Opening of Audeum Museum Very cool, will try to visit someday. Thanks for sharing. ...and we thought @mikelavigne room build to be a bit extravagant.... | |
| Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono Seems your sonic preference leans towards tubes. | |
| Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ? Yes, but daunting. I live in Silicon Valley and home prices are ridiculous so increasing space is expensive. Pressure to stay local so that my triplets won't have to commute far after graduating college. | |

| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? The new Borressen C1 reportedly approaches the sound of the M1, but at a much more affordable price point. Agree that the Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene sound terrific whose sonics are significantly above their price point. | |
| Speaker isolation feed effect After a lot of research, the Gaia feet and Townsend Platforms seem the best, not sure how much the more expensive Wilson or Magico products compare. Of the 2, the Townsend seems to perform slightly better. | |

| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers I just speak about what is possible to improve the sound quality and the Xover is a weakness on most loudspeakers @audioman58 - are you referring to parts quality, xover design weakness, or both? | |
| Legacy Calibre - big soundstage - what other standmounts offer this? “….compact M1 staged enormously large….” Review here I was gobsmacked when I heard the M1 at an high-end audio show and it sounded like a full range speaker. Initially I looked around for subwoofers but then realized there weren’t any. The sou... | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address +1 @tony1954 +1 @larryi It’s simply an internal business decision on which we on the outside have no control or influence, and has nothing to do with our main interest of optimizing personal sonics within our budgets. Businesses are run by impe... | |
| AC cords for Hegel H390 that do not color sound? @deep_333 Thanks for the tip. Børresen fan, checking also. | |
| What's the value in lots of capacitors inside a line stage preamp? I’m just starting to learn about electric circuits and am fortunate my audio club offered a class including using a meter and oscilloscope . Still trying to figure out what signal generator to buy. Anyway, I’m learning about capacitors here | |
| why expensive streamers @blisshifi Maybe copy your post then paste on the next round of “it’s only 1s and 0s” If they can’t hear it’s extremely likely (near 100%) their system is not transparent enough. |
