| How long does Class A have? Why don't manufacturers list the amount of amps (current) their amplifiers and receivers put out. It is nothing to do with watts. It all has to do about current.I think they hide this number because they know their amplifiers do not produce much... | |
| Replacement power cord, Hafler 9180 I would be very curious if anyone doing a blind test would hear the difference? Kind of reminds me of The Emperors New Cloths. | |
| To Stream or Not to Stream I love streaming Tidal. Their library is huge and the sound quality of high. I haven’t used CD’s for years. You will enjoy streaming and won’t look back. | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning I just have a difficult time thinking you could hear the difference in a blind test. Be interesting to know.People who reach for this must listen to their systems for every flaw and not really enjoy their system because they think they are settli... | |
| What is the reason for this? (Digital vs Vinyl Question) I wish I could hear a blind testing on a very expensive system on vinyl vs streaming. I have always thought vinyl to be noisy and it is time consuming to have to get up and change a record. It might even be more fun during a blind testing to tel... | |
| Sonus Faber vs Wilson All I can say is you must be filthy rich.My wife would kick me out of the house if I purchased a pair Wilson's. | |
| Integrated Amps - another thread... I wasn't that impressed with my ADS towers. I thought the technology was dated because I purchased them in 1980. The dealer allowed me to trade them in for a DAC. Maybe I got dupped.I have a pair of Paradigm Prestige 85F towers and I didn't rea... | |
| More watts or better power ? I would think a larger size amp would be like buying a new car and opting for the model with greater HP. A larger size amp would work les hard and I wonder if this in turn would produce better sound. I have always thought the larger the amp the ... | |
| The Miller Carbon Story I would think the biggest improvement would be to upgrade the cartridge. Still don't know why people use vinyl. I always thought it to be noisier than a CD player and now streaming is convenient along huge libraries to choose from. The next tim... | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality I like the library Tidal offers using a streamer. They have a lot of hi res quality. I always thought 24 bit is better than 16 bit.It would cost a fortune to buy CD’s verses Tidal’s library. It is also nice to select artists and songs while rel... | |
| B&W speakers sounding very harsh? I met with a B&W dealer on Monday and they told me B&W tweeters are very bright, even brighter than the Martin Logan Motion 60 ribbon tweeters. Perhaps these are too bright for your ears. Ear fatigue is a real. I wish mine were brighter... | |
| HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything. How long did you purchase?Perhaps it is not too late to cancel the order and contact your credit card company to stop payments? | |
| Sopra 2 Bass I wonder what a pair of REL S2's would do to your sound? I added a pair of these and it really made a difference. You have to dial them in so they don't stand out from your main speakers. If done correctly, they will act more like additional la... | |
| Why has focal raised their prices so much on Sopra line With increased government spending comes inflation. It depends upon where the money comes from. I do think we need to update our infrastructure. They either will increase taxes or print more money. Either way we will all witness less net incom... | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? You need to be careful to avoid high frequency fatigue. Fortunately I went back to listen for two hours to a pair of Martin Logan Motion 60’s with ribbon tweeters. To date I have not listened to a better pair of speakers than a pair of SALK Sing... |
