| Help :( Speakers making constant static sound I cannot figure it out Many good ways to attack the problem are presented here, the most effective in my estimation is to replace one tube at a time until the problem vanishes. Since the dual triode tube is likely providing preamplifier duty for both channels, I would s... | |
| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles @knotscott - Love that photo and yeah the year too...I saw the Dead in Roanoke at the Civic Center there, and they had that wall of speakers behind them that went from floor to ceiling. When they played the opening chord of their first song...I th... | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? @rpeluso - First post on this subject I have seen that I can agree with...all I will add to this discussion is that replacing an obviously bad cable (open or shorted) with one that functions as designed is all the difference I can hear. I have rep... | |
| Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu @audionoobie Yeah I am really pleased with them overall. Certainly not cheap or cheaply made, and not for everyone obviously, but for those they do work for, well worth the money IMHO. Evan went the extra mile for me and I am very thankful for his... | |
| Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu @audionoobie I read your post with great interest. Your experience mirrored mine...that is until I contacted Evan about what I was hearing, or more correctly, what I was not hearing. Your characterization of it sounding like it was being played th... | |
| Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu I already have a pair of Ohm 2000s but for the 5k you allotted for amplifiers I got an VTV 500 wpc class D amp, an Emotiva PT1 and a pair of SVS column subs for way less than the 5 grand allowed and its stupid good. OMG its clean, powerful, immers... | |
| How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems? not totally happy with mine...yet. I have made it as good as it can be for the current investment. And I won't be spending any more on it anytime soon. However, plans are being made for upgrades. The only limitation is money and the time to gather... | |
| Altec Model 19 Soundsystem with Subwoofer pairing I would cross over your subs in the 50-60 Hz range and make them do the heavy lifting on the low end for sure. The latest and greatest SVS subs are blessed with parametric EQ that should allow relatively easy blending of their output to match your... | |
| FOSI K5 PRO GAMING DAC AUDIO I had one of these for about a week...the headphone jack quit working so I sent it back. Poor quality control. I did like the sound quality though. | |
| Audiophile Priorities and Recent Topics @asctim Your post is one of the funniest I have seen in a while...thanks for the chuckle. | |
| Sunfire's new "Ultimate Receiver worth 4 grand? Personally if you have the real estate for it, separates give so much more flexibility in the long run that it seems short-sighted to get an all in one, but an all in one can often be configured to use the internal amps for surround and atmos chan... | |
| Subwoofer connection Either a Y cable on the pre-out jack if you are connecting with RCA cables or if there are speaker level inputs on the sub you can use those, feeding directly from your main speakers. This assumes you do not have a dedicated sub out connection on ... | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... Thanks guys for all the info and suggestions. If our current set survives until after tax season is over, I'll probably be buying then. It may be sooner but odds are I'll have to wait. | |
| Beware, scammers everywhere @akg_ca I agree that these low lifes do walk among us and never is it ever more prevalent than in social media dating websites. I have had good luck with a variety of transactions thru paypal and fleabay, though I havent bought anything thru ebay ... | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... I am debating the idea of going cheap with the likelihood the set won't last a long time vs a High end Sony that may last longer but is way more money. At the end of the day, a high dollar TV that gives trouble is a lot more trouble than a cheap o... |
