| Will audio gear be ok in unheated house I think the humidity is more damaging than cold. I moved into a stone cottage in rural Limerick, Ireland, and have lost a few pieces of kit. Humidity here averages 75% minimum sometimes reaching into the 90%. Stored for a long time the power caps ... | |
| Musical subwoofer under $2000 @sparksgja, I lost somehow a long post when I clicked on 'review' I'll keep it shorter and try again. On page 1 two links were provided: one by @ditusa and one by @audiorusty and I strongly encourage you to read them. The contents will clear up ... | |
| Table,cartridge,phono...where to put most of my money? @missioncoonery, I see nobody has directly answered your question. Spend most of your budget on the table. Then buy a good arm and lastly the cartridge. Why so much money on the table? OK consider this: lets find hypothetically a vinyl record... | |
| Opinions about Daniel Hertz From reading comments here I would not go anywhere near Levinson stuff. Well let me tell you put-downers and haters that I own an ML23.5 and it is a great amp, really great. There is no bling, no 'show' just a plain looking form follows function ... | |
| Basic question about sensitivity @ditusa, Hi Mike, bet those JBLs can crank. Pink Floyd don't play through no stinkin dome tweeters. | |
| Basic question about sensitivity @immatthewj, What makes a speaker ’hard to drive’ is when the impedance swings wildly from nominal. If the impedance curve does not dip much below 4 ohms you should not have a problem, just hook them up to the 4 ohm transformer tap. Sensitivity ... | |
| Room acoustics basics Check out some Ethan Winer YouTube videos. | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @phusis , Hi, yes the Synergy Horns, never heard the real thing but a friend and I roughly assembled out of stiff cardboard a mock up and we were both seriously impressed. Way back I got a DIY design out of either Speaker Builder magazine or Soun... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @phusis, your horns look impressive and I'm sure sound the same. This format is rare to see these days and probably intentionally overlooked because of their appearance and also because no retailer would be prepared to stock non-sellers. Pity. I'v... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @uberk, yes indeed. The salesman says: "Sir with these top of the line speakers you will never need a subwoofer, they go down to 20Hz." This type of comment is a result of BS baffles brain or just plain ignorance. Get those same speakers into ... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please @lcherepkai, I don't like what you are doing. Love it. When listening to different fuses I briefly inserted a Cu. tube I cut to the correct size as a reference and thought I would find the fuse that sounded closest to it. I tried a bunch including... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @ronboco, Hey I think you can safely call that a dedicated room 😁 Congratulations. I agree with your philosophy of getting the room properly sorted early in the quest. So many ignore or avoid even considering acoustics and end up constantly swappi... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @daveyf, if you had mentioned in your OP the room treatment in place I would not have been inspired to type a long email trying to be of help. It seems you to like to jump to conclusions about other people's systems I did not jump to anything... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @jim2, That is one of the best posts I've read on this, you summed it up beautifully. There are some manufacturers of speakers who have a model or two just below their flagship full range speakers that use the identical mid range and tweeter driv... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @daveyf, without you describing your room treatment I searched through your many photos and only saw those 2 grey panels which I would like to point out represent broad-band absorbers and as such do not absorb down below the Schroeder frequency s... |
