| 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... | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... I appreciate you guys feedback. To address one message, I am not a high maintenance customer or at the very least don't want to be, but when I buy something I want it to work as advertised and if it doesn't then I don't want any hassle getting an ... | |
| Logical next step from Legacy Signature SEs? Around $15K... The Legacy Focus SE or SD would be a hard act to beat based on my experience with the Signatures. | |
| Main speaker placement- fundamentally wrong? I like headphone listening except for having the things on my head or in my ears...which is why I use speakers 95% of the time. | |
| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System @tony1954 Why the hate for UPS? I continually have had trouble with getting things delivered in undamaged condition. The boxes look like they were given to a gorilla with a baseball bat hellbent on destroying the item inside. This is an over the t... | |
| Paid for UPS shipping and the package was immediately sent to the US Post Office. @jim5559 You make a valid point...what companies are the worst to deal with? That's easy, insurance companies are at the top of my list. But truthfully, its any company that goes out of its way to insulate themselves from their customers. Like UPS... |
