| 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... | |
| Finally arrived !! Active, makes the most sense. If the system performs to expectation and beyond, the cost is soon forgotten. Enjoy | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? There seems to be many saying large speakers will overdrive a room which I disagree with. A room properly sorted with regards to acoustic treatment will allow any speaker to perform at its best. If a large bass driver will 'overdrive' a room then ... | |
| 10 gauge power cord. Too much power for tube amp? As others have mentioned, it is not the power cable. Also tubes are surprisingly robust and will tolerate more abuse than any MOSFET. You could use a PC that's has a greater cross-section than 10AWG without any problems, in fact could reasonably... | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? Hi Tony, Thanks for the considerate and detailed reply. I have sent you a message. | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? Hi Tony, your set up and room looks great which I'm sure is very rewarding. I hear what you are saying about progress and it to this end I needed to do a sanity check so compared my Wadia to some supposedly top DACs. Some I heard that I thought mi... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation Harmonic Technology Pro9+, uses solid core OCC Cu. These sound great but were too short when I renovated our living room, so I temporarily replaced them with some cheapo junk cables. They were so bad I bought some Duelund 12AWG in cotton the right... | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? It depends. Listening for differences on any component will not be obvious or even heard if there are no room treatments in place and also the quality of the rest of the system. @ghdprentice... | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing Interesting thread. I have a Bryston BDP-1 and nothing but trouble. Mains transformer burned out. On the advice of Bryston USA sent it to the Bryston agents in the UK who's performance was pathetic and received it back months later in some tatty p... | |
| Getting 2 subs so is it ok to get 2 different size subs to cover a wider spectrum of bass or get 2 matching subs? To directly answer your question rather than blathering on about unrelated matters: Yes it's OK. The brand does not have to match nor the size. I... |
