| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong Not one response from the OP. Please stop feeding this, this ... person. He is totally ducken refickulous. | |
| New R2R DAC If you will consider a used unit then an old Wadia will provide redbook performance to beat just about anything. My 30 year old Wadia 15 plays redbook only, using the famous Burr Brown PCM63 chip, regarded by some as probably the best ever. I hav... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... One of the few things nearly every audiophile agrees about is that you can't make the signal better than the original. I do think you are missing the point. Yes, we all agree with the above statement, to expect 'better' is folly. OK you have yo... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations If you can find a pair of Harmonic Technology Pro9 + used I think you will hear a substantial improvement. I have used the Neotech and Duelund 12AWG which I still own but have set aside because the HT-Pro 9 simply and clearly outperforms them. I ... | |
| The Ultimate Audio Modification: Golden Ears I don't take much notice of 'golden ears'. We all have different hearing including the golden eared and there is nothing special about them. Forget about the fact that your hearing is not flat and rolls off at about 10KHz, so what? You have 9 oc... | |
| The Ultimate Audio Modification: Golden Ears @mrskeptic excellent contribution! | |
| Leaving my amplifier on ok? @highend64, like most things in audio, it depends. Obviously class A amps will run hot so best not to leave on but Class AB can and IMO should be left on all the time. You'll probably remember the old incandescent light bulb that mostly failed o... | |
| SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)? Anything from James Bongiorno. I own his GAS Son of Ampzilla and later the Sumo 'The Nine' Later came the new SoA amps followed by Spread Spectrum Technologies | |
| Blog: Upgrade Inductors with Care @carlsbad2, Hi, the waxed coil you linked to I have found great on tweeters, also the baked varnish coils are pretty good. Not yet tried the foils on the bass section, mainly because of price. When I made my own I used to dip them in warmed up ep... | |
| Blog: Upgrade Inductors with Care A word of caution about the blog linked to in the first post. I don't know who the author is, Squires claims he wrote it but I see Nigel Tufnel's name at the bottom of page. There is a lot of misinformation here that could lead someone astray, o... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? Ok, understood. Perhaps next time you could provide more info about your existing room, you will receive more to the point help. I thought you mentioned including a sub. Just one sub will make a difference when space is limited and it does not n... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? Your post above tells me a lot. "But if it's not feasible or economical to change the room, wouldn't that be a great reason for EQ." NO. You have $6000 available, spend some on room treatment which will prove to be your best investment and wi... | |
| Subwoofer @jpwarren58, One sub can be used but definitely needs variable phase if you are limited with placement options. SVS is a great choice because of the adjustments available. It has a simple download which means you can tune it in from the comfort ... | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? @tunehead, how many did you take man?! you posted that twice 😜 Rodrigo y Gabriella Jakob Gurevitsch Osamu Cream ..Disraeli Gears | |
| Moving on a sailboat - bookshelf speakers? Congratulations on the sailboat getaway. Preferably go for a sealed box design which will be much easier to accommodate. It is, on a boat, quite acceptable to lay the speaker over on its side and not concern yourself with imaging or soundstage. E... |
