| Do you think driver “break in” is real? @erik_squires - indeed, once broken in, a speaker should perform how it was designed to perform and no more playing will increase the performance. I dunno about that 'very quickly' part, though - that's not been my experience with either speakers... | |
| Audiophiles, Music, and Equipment: Can We Be Both "Conservative" AND "Progressive"? @nonoise + 1 | |
| Should I graduate to floor standers or will larger bookshelves suffice? @kennyc - What are MSB 120 and 126? The only MSB I'm familiar with makes very high-end DACs and amps, not speakers. | |
| Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds I've got an MSB S-200 integrated amp; their design has, per the manual, "pure class A stage to increase the voltage signal, and class A-B stage with no voltage gain to increase the current supplied.". This amp was in the $10,000 range when it was ... | |
| Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others? Kristeen Young is my undisputed numero uno - 11 self-released albums since 1997, over 120 songs, and every single one of them is among the best I've ever heard; music I needed to hear but didn't know existed until 2018 when I read about her in a D... | |
| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? I'd say it depends on the rest of your system. Somebody with a relatively inexpensive setup might not be able to tell the difference between TT's, but somebody with a more resolving one could hear a large difference. Same would go for carts, I'd t... | |
| Do you think driver “break in” is real? None of my speakers are 'poorly designed'; they were designed to require around 200 hours of break-in. Buy used speakers if you don't want to deal with things like that. | |
| Do you think driver “break in” is real? I don't think it's real. I know it's real. Sometimes 200 hours or more real. | |
| Is there miracles in audio experience ? @singingg - I do art photography myself (and used to do concert photography in the 70's), and Minor White was great, yeah? | |
| How best to arrange cables in this room... I'm doing a similar re-arrangement of my living room with speakers on either side of the fireplace. I've got a non-working fireplace, so we're just going to put the power amp on the floor of the fireplace and have holes for running the cables from... | |
| Mastering legend Bernie Grundman explains why the measurement crowd has it all wrong! I watched that interview last night - fascinating - great to see Bernie! | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers Yes it is - I would recommend contacting/buying from Fritz - he's great to talk to about speakers and music, too... | |
| Results of Actual Hearing Test and Next Steps @socalml528 - that ear-blocking sensation can be alleviated with the right dome; you'd want one that would let in some sound from outside as well as the hearing aid's own speakers. I'd suggest going back to CostCo and telling them about this, and ... | |
| Results of Actual Hearing Test and Next Steps @socalml528 - they told you that it could take months to get used to wearing them? I suppose it could, it depends on the person, but in my experience with many hearing aids, days is more like it to decide if they'll work for you or not. That sai... | |
