| I am sick of cables If the cable in question works as it is designed to do, I consider that job done and move on to the next problem. That said I have owned decent nice cables with gold anodized connectors with robust construction which would ensure they would last a... | |
| Maximum length for optical toslink I suspect toslink would be good for 50 feet or more...That is something I am going to find out once I am able to move back in my house. The TV in the bedroom will be a good 30 feet away at least by the time I get the cable routed to where the ampl... | |
| Seeking horn array loudspeakers with a maximum price of $17,500.00 per pair. For my money I would be looking at Khorns. You would be amazed what a pair of those would do. They take very little power and because they are not super low impedance they will not stress even a modestly powered receiver or integrated amp. If you ... | |
| A principle guiding the wise audiophile life My wife doesn't care what I spend on sound equipment at least partly because she benefits as much as I do from any improvements made. In this respect I could not have chosen a better person to share my life...she is a keeper. | |
| Should I upgrade from REL/510 subwoofer to REL/812 subwoofer? I agree that adding a second sub is the best way to go, try to match the sub you currently have. You will find that this will make a very noticeable difference in your system's performance. Well worth the money most likely at twice the price. I ... | |
| Home Wiring Improvements For Better Quality Sound @cleeds Why would using a compound that enhances conductivity and reduces corrosion over time within an electrical service panel be a bad thing? | |
| Speaker Improvement Advance Design Better Upgrade @johnk This puzzles me a bit. So are you suggesting that only the slimline tower speakers are not collectible or all towers are not collectible. And why wouldn't a subwoofer be considered a collectible? This is not me calling you out for what you ... | |
| What type of speaker would sound better? Sadly or maybe not so sadly, there is no magic formula for what is going to sound best. The room itself, its size and shape, listening position, acoustic treatments, type of music and whether or not you intend to augment low frequency response wit... | |
| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? What you are saying is true but as a rough estimate my approach gets you in the ballpark of what you are looking for. Speakers that are rated for much higher power than 100 watts won’t suffer significant power compression or at least they shouldn’... | |
| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? No one did any math....91 db sensitivity would give you 101 db at 10 watts or 111 db at 100 watts. That is for the peaks in the music...if the peak levels you experience when you listen are less than 111 db, which they probably are, 100 watts is a... | |
| Legacy audio Signature lll speakers. I know this is an old thread, but the Sig III's rank among the best I have ever heard. Very flat across the spectrum to the point of being a bit bass-shy if anything. Still when there is heavy bass in the music they speak up. You will not find any... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes I am not at all horrified by any of this. I am thankful streaming works well enough to meet the quality standards I demand without a whole lot of fussing about. I appreciate that physical media may in fact be better but in the final analysis I am ... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes It seems to me, and in this bunch there is someone who will correct me if they think I am wrong... :) IT seems to me that there are very few things that determine the accuracy of the played signal out of our streamers. Number one is the source fil... | |
| Solid State preamp Brands One thing I did not see mentioned that is in my estimation worthy of consideration is the Class D Hypex amps with tube buffer. Extremely low noise and presumably with the tube buffer offers some tube flavor to the mix. Throw in whatever SS preamp ... | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? Given that money comes in uneven increments or at least that is how it is for me, throwing down enough to buy a whole stack at one time has been a completely impossible thing all my life. Everything I have acquired in home audio gear has been done... |
