| could somebody help me out on the benefits of expensive phono and speaker cables? Could be. Good question though. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I’m very fortunate to have been able to set up having music wired or broadcast into most any room of my house off various systems. Relaxing in the sunroom with the Dynaudio Contours today. Music server on random play. Currently grooving to Beethov... | |
| could somebody help me out on the benefits of expensive phono and speaker cables? THose are advertised benefits. Maybe yes, maybe no.... Same true at any price. | |
| Digital Flac files with a Tube Amplifier Forget about all the things marketers label "audiophile" or "high end" or not. If it sounds good, it sounds good. You are to be commended for designing a system that does all on your own. | |
| could somebody help me out on the benefits of expensive phono and speaker cables? Cost alone is not a reliable indicator of the value of an upgrade. The devil is always in the details. | |
| Modestly priced bookshelf speakers for cabin. GEt used pair of Boston A40s in good operating condition. Will sound great for not very much. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. This is consistent, btw, with statements I believe Roger made earlier in the thread to the effect that many listeners require less power than they tend to believe. Yes Al, in your specific case as indicated.You have speakers that are significantl... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. For full range speakers in particular, aren’t speaker efficiency ratings only useful for determining power needed if they cover the lower frequencies, which is by far where the most power is needed to deliver flat frequency response and avoid clip... | |
| Looking for a decent CD Recorder I have a very good quality and versatile Denon cd player/recorder that I do not use anymore that I would like to move. Pop me a message here on agon if interested. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Never bought by power. Always purchased by sound. On several occasions with lackluster sound at higher SPLS, I ended up purchasing more power elsewhere and that has worked. HI, Roger here with a question.I would like to hear how each of you figur... | |
| Quad S-2 I heard them at Capital Audiofest. Very impressed with both sound and form! Seem not many dealers in the states though. Hard to find. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. OK so here’s some SPL measures using db meter pro app on iphone 6 . Disclaimer: I have no info on how accurate this tool is but the numbers I am reading seem reasonable.So in a samplling of various "typical quality nothing special" CD resolution r... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Not my exact pair but there is a pic of the OHm f5 series 3 speakers on this page and mine are identical. http://www.e-bnlcafe.com/audioweb/speakers.htm | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. "Some" would be right of course. 😉I often listen to peaks a lot louder. You would have to talk very loudly even sitting next to me to be heard. But it never actually sounds that loud which is usually a good omen that distortion is well under contr... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Lifelike SPL for me is that what one might hear at a similar live performance in the good seats, not too close but not too far away. I want my gear to be able to handle it all including perhaps sitting close to the percussion at the symphony or in... |
