| One of the Best Stereo System in the World! Very cool. The best system in the world can’t just be good. It has to be good and big. 1400lb speakers sound like they should qualify and a line array is probably the right way to do it. | |
| All New NAD Master M33 Integrated Amp // GAME CHANGER ?.. Could be. We will see. | |
| has anybody else noticed this about singers? Mel Torme could actually do that (make his voice resonate while holding a note). | |
| Are all Audiophiles masocists? People need to just slow down a bit sometimes and smell the roses. | |
| Larson Ljudmiljö LM70 Now that’s something I have not seen before though I have seen and heard other Larson models. Larsons these days are typically designed to go flush against walls. Very cool. Remind me a bit of my big Ohm F5 cabinets but stretched out a bit. The... | |
| LittelFuses Series 285 AUDIO/MEDICAL Quality I suspect you would do just fine with those. | |
| Turned Off My Subwoofer ... And My Speakers Sound Great The only thing wrong with many subs in most cases is the additional expense and complexity for what you gain. I’d focus on getting one sub set up right for your sweet spot first before even considering more. That alone is hard enough to do in many... | |
| Turned Off My Subwoofer ... And My Speakers Sound Great The sub was probably set at too high a level and/or the low pass filter set too high. In other words set for too much bass which obscures the rest. Not uncommon for folks to set their subs too high. If suspended plywood floors that will also muddy... | |
| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? I observed fuse contacts needed to be reset periodically with most Japanese made amps/receivers back in the late 1970’s. Unregulated power supplies I suppose? It was the first and easy thing to check when a customer brought a unit in with a sound ... | |
| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? The consensus among most all “skeptics” that I recall including George has been that a better contact between fuse and holder can make a difference. I know that has ways been my view based on actual experience as I have related it replacing and re... | |
| What makes a DAC so expensive? Mahgister, Always been a big Groucho fan. You’re quotes reminded me to do some binging on old "You Bet Your Life" episodes available on Tubi.Still waiting for some of those deep philosophical quotes, but the quick wit is on full display, especiall... | |
| For anyone who moved from tubes to solid state — a question I think it is possible to compare specific tube device A against specific SS device b, and make generalized assertions about how to best apply each type of technology, but have to be careful about generalized comparisons of tube versus SS gear in ... | |
| For anyone who moved from tubes to solid state — a question The key issue with big tube amps that compete with big SS amps is how much do they cost and how much time and money to maintain them over time.Nominal 6 ohm speakers would seem like fair game for a good quality tube amp depending on the details th... | |
| For anyone who moved from tubes to solid state — a question My only case like that was when I had both a tube and SS DAC from the same vendor at the same time for comparison, a relatively simple case.I had the tube DAC first and found it responded to rolling tubes but no 1 tube checked all the boxes. So I ... |
