| Less than satisfying sound with non-audiophile recordings Check phase of speaker connections and have you experimented with speaker placement, toe in, etc? Those are some fundamental things to check and get locked in up front initially. | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? I’d much rather read here how people leverage science to help find what they seek rather than philosophical discussions on the merits of science. That is a moot point. | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration Interesting. I have no doubt more subs set up well is better. I have 1 Klipsch sw308 I set up manually with kef ls50 metas using a sound meter app and white noise to initially set things up to extend the bass to be roughly in line with all the... | |

| Music Lovers Speaker vs. Audiophile Speaker It’s just semantics. | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? Well I do agree the fewer tubes the better.I’ve had the sp16 for a number of years. It’s been pretty easy overall on the tubes but with any tube gear you have to be ready when a tube starts to go. 3 tubes in pre-amp and 3 in phono stage. There is... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? Audio Research is a common option. I use an Audio Research tube pre-amp with phono. Only 6 tubes I run these days. Cost under $2k new during a sale a few years back to make way for newer model.I’ve had a handful of VAC auditions. Won’t say the two... |
