| Is it O.K. To Speculate Re: Company Stability Here? Interesting questions being asked here. Ok I'll throw one in the hopper and see if it stirs up the hornets nest at all...So MacIntosh was bought out by my favorite company to bash, Bose. How does that impact their products and viability for the fu... | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? @asvjerry Yeah it was a fire followed by Fire Department induced flooding, All the flooding did was save items in good enough shape to identify what they were. Of course, not all things were identifiable since the garage burnt to the ground and le... | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? @decooney Hey thanks for the kind words. We have no local 'real' audio dealers unless you count best buy, sams and walmart. No real source of serious gear. Everything that steps up to serious gear is multiple hours away from me. And I just cannot ... | |
| Tube amp bias adjustment advice IF you do testing be sure to use a tone generator so the exact same level and tone go to each speaker. That should tell you if there really is a difference in gain between the two channels. Then you need to take the necessary steps to isolate wher... | |

| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles Sorry guys, I know some people hold Tekton as ascendant to the throne of ultimate hi-fi, but lets just consider some practical factors here...how much do those damn things weigh? How many people does it take to place them in the listening room, an... | |
| Sound file to aide in speaker wire comparison I get where you are coming from and while I applaud your desire to fine tune your system to its absolute best. This is practical advice and I am sure there are those here that will disagree, the bottom line is for any speaker system you want to dr... | |
| Dual Sub-woofers paired into two sets of speakers - connection option. Rob I would do that if its convenient, or at least I might would. :) Think about it this way...I have no clue what your crossover frequency is, but the lower that frequency is, the less directional the bass is going to be in general. There are exc... | |
| Audiophiles make terrific Enophiles To each their own taste for sure. I prefer a good couple of whiskys and the bass guitar in my hands playing along with the great musicians of our long life. Do I play well, of course not, but aspiration often leads to inspiration and that to impro... | |
| Any Audiophiles Here Have Experience with Hearing Aids? I feel for your hearing loss as I am right there with you...not with exactly the same problem, but a loss none the less. I decided about 3 years ago to explore the relief that I might get from hearing aids. The ones I chose were the Phillips model... | |
| Audiophiles and De-cluttering -- your journey toward both psychic and sonic improvement For my own part, last April's house fire took a large chunk out of the decluttering that was an ongoing process. I had all my junk, my wifes junk, and my parents junk crammed into one house...yeah it was a lot. But because nearly all of it has gon... | |
| Audiophiles and De-cluttering -- your journey toward both psychic and sonic improvement @devinplombier I wonder if you could expand on your post concerning the suitability of full range music speakers for home theater and why a good music speaker is NOT good for HT. Please understand, I am not being contentious, I am curious as to wh... | |
| Audiophiles and De-cluttering -- your journey toward both psychic and sonic improvement @Carlsbad2 - I'd love to know more about your experience with the Cinema 40 and its operating quirks if any. I am considering this as an option for one location as we rebuild from last April's fire. The price is relatively affordable and in today'... | |
| What actually determines volume power? Is it watts? Another approach, assuming you don’t know anyone that would loan you an amp to try out is to buy an amp from a company that allows a trial period and a no fault return policy if it doesn’t meet the need. VTV produces a range of class D amps that h... | |
| What actually determines volume power? Is it watts? Its definitely true that many receivers today when pushed moderately hard reveal their engineering shortcomings all too quickly. There are huge differences between manufacturers amplifiers for a given watt rating. Companies are in general not very... |
