| It’s all a matter of degree To each their own. Whatever turns you on. | |
| SUT Interconnects DNM Reson for unique coherency and overall sound and cost effectiveness but these are not shielded. Shielded ICs are safer in general between SUT and phone. I added custom mu metal foil shielding to my SUT section to facilitate using unshielded IC... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption Diversity should be welcome but not all diversity is necessarily welcome. Some has nothing to do with intelligence, ethics, values, or anything else of value to all. Just picking up on broad idealized assertions that are clearly not true. | |
| It’s all a matter of degree I try different things in different systems and in different rooms all at the same time. You might call me a hi fi bigamist. I like all kinds of sound but some better than others. | |
| Recording with bass to align my subs with my speakers White noise is best to set up with, not recorded music. There are white noise internet radio stations you can stream. Then use a sound meter or similar smartphone app like decibel app to measure. Works great! Use music after that to fine tune if n... | |
| It's Great Having So Many Choices (?) Choices rule. Try yoga and meditation for stress mgmt. | |
| I Don't Want to be an Audiophile, What am I... A “Hi Fi Guy” perhaps? | |
| Mounting Speakers On A Furniture Dolly For Mobility You will probably get less bass higher up and more isolated from the floor which could be good or bad depending. Listen and see. No harm in trying and you will know how it sounds , nobody not actually there can know for sure. Just make sure it’s s... | |
| Sound Yes for sure but a little bling too can never hurt. Disclaimer: raised in Amish Country. My concept of bling may not be quite up to snuff. | |
| Pet audiophile peeves - name yours That omnidirectional speakers are not the norm with audiophiles. | |
| What are you tweaking this weekend? Maybe my wife’s nerves. Will tweak the music I listen to, not the same thing over and over. The hifi itself is quite tuned in the way I like it at the moment. Hope I don’t jinx myself by saying that. | |
| AGD Audio Mk2 review I think I will get to hear these AGD amps next weekend. Looking forward to it. | |
| How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video) It’s safer to be shielded....just like being vacinnated......or a condom, except you only have to do it once. Non-shielded, POTENTIALLY more problematic and can be for real and easily heard (or not so easily even in other cases) as I related abov... | |
| Primaluna? Rogue? | |
| How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video) Most important with low level phono signals. Less so elsewhere. My go to RCA ICs are DNM Reson ...unshielded. For phono as well. They are affordable and MOST coherent. Had to do some alternate shielding to enable that without inducted noise. My HV... |
