| Making speakers “disappear”….. I’m still somewhat new to hifi - about 18 months in - but here is what I did after a ton of reading and watching a few youtube vids. This was with my old speakers which were Sapphire M3s - my new to me speakers, Rivals went into similar place but ... | |
| Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener? That youtube vid posted earlier is excellent. I'm thinking about ordering 2D / GIK polys to put next to (new and larger) GIK 242 panels on my side walls. I just need to take a smidge of treble energy out of the room - not much but some - well q... | |
| Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener? Perfect, thanks. I'm thinking about moving my 242s to the rear wall but they don't have scatter plates - maybe I can buy those sep and then pull the staples out of the fabric and put those in and restaple. I'd probably make a big mess of things th... | |
| Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener? Timely thread as I'm looking into this as well - absorbsion and/or deflection on the rear wall. @vinylshadow , which GIK panels did you put up? Thanks. | |
| Volti Experience ! Congratulations Doyle! Great write-up and agree Greg is great people (met him at the Tampa show). I just bought some used Rivals via Audiogon classified a few months ago (thanks Ken!) and am still completely blown away by these speakers - especial... | |
| Modwright PH 9.0X Tube Rolling Question Wanted to bump this for any new comments. Anyone try the Telefunken 6922? I bought Amperex gold 6922's about 18 months ago and my initial reaction was they were slightly more bright than the stock ones but kept them in to let them burn in and nev... | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) Hi @benzman , sorry but I forgot to update my Audiogon system in January when I sold the M3s and purchased Volti Rivals. I have updated my profile and w/ pics including the Podiums. Still blown away by these! My system is very, very, close to be... | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) I received my Podiums late last week and could bump on any number of threads but this one is the most recent one I think. They actually were delivered with a very strong and unplesent smell which I can only guess was from the manufacturing process... | |
| 2023 Florida Audio Expo Show Report I was only there about 5 hours on Saturday but @snapsc basically put my thoughts on the show into writing almost perfectly. I was really amazed by the Apple Orchard / Soundfield Audio was the big surprise for me and one of the cheapest systems t... | |
| What sound diff. can I expect from PrimaLuna EVO 400 pre and power amps VS an EVO400 int. My phono stage is a Modwright 9.0x and I'm very happy with it. | |
| What sound diff. can I expect from PrimaLuna EVO 400 pre and power amps VS an EVO400 int. Agree with tablejockey about getting a separate phonostage. | |
| What sound diff. can I expect from PrimaLuna EVO 400 pre and power amps VS an EVO400 int. IIRC when I asked Upscale this question in 2021 when I bought my 300 Evo Integrated the reply I got was that is was something like a 15-20% sound improvement for separates - for about double the price. | |
| Choosing between Cornwall IV, Trio15 or X4 Ultra @dweller , I haven't. It did help when I turned the power up but thought to myself why do that when the power is cut in half for Triode and then I just turn it up? I'm sure I'm missing something. I'm only about 19 mos into this journey (recently ... | |
| Choosing between Cornwall IV, Trio15 or X4 Ultra Agree with Russ. I just bought a newesd set of Volti Rivals which are powered by my Primaluna 300 Evo integrated with KT-150s + Radiotechniques and I'm gobsmacked how good they are. I'm coming from Sapphire M3s which were and are wonderful audioph... | |
| Testing for Dirty Electrical Power Also interested. I bought the same device and when I posted about it on Audiocircle I was informed that they are worthless but seems like an objective way to measure dirty power. My old house was a 19 but my new house w/ a dedicated line is around... |
