| 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... | |
| Bowers & Wilkins 801D4 Signature Sounds like your dealer wants to upsell you to a more expensive speaker; only real way to tell is by listening.... | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? Have the speakers been broken in yet? Your description sounds very much like many speakers sound right out of the box; a few hundred hours later, they may sound much different.... | |
| Female vocals There are plenty of women singers who do not in the slightest resemble jazz, Norah Jones, or Diana Krall, but who actually ROCK. | |
| Results of Actual Hearing Test and Next Steps I've been wearing hearing aids for the past couple of decades. I've been wearing eyeglasses for longer than that. I would no more listen to music without my hearing aids than I would read a book or watch a movie without my glasses. I'd suggest g... | |
| Burn in vs perception @rockadanny - I've owned a number of pairs of speakers; some will sound fine right out of the box, but most I've had sound pretty nasty to start off and sound the way they should after 150 - 200 hours. | |
| HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO? @hilde45 PLUS ONE | |
| Interesting videos about sounds and music @mahgister - you may be right, but what does education have to do with liking or not liking jazz? As for hating music, I agree - I don't see the point; people can listen to what they like and avoid what they don't - it's not difficult. People lik... | |
| Burn in vs perception @ozzy62 - in your case, I'd say both the amp's electronics and the tubes need breaking in; in my experience, tubes mostly sound at their best after at least 100 hours. You've probably got a good bit of improvement left to look forward to.... | |
| Somewhat of an oxymoron - speaker stands for the floor for bookshelf speakers. Different speakers are designed for different stand heights; while there is indeed a 'rule of thumb', there is no 'one size fits all' best speaker height for all standmounts. For instance, I've got a pair of Martens that are very high on their sta... | |
| Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation. @mahgister + 1 - as soon as I see 'all' or 'no' in regards to some category of items like 'tube amps' or 'ss amps', I dunno - just doesn't make sense to me. |
