| Newer cars without cd players-what now? The built in hard disk drive (HDD) is part of the Acura TLX technology package, not a base level feature, I am pretty certain.It supposedly tags with album information and art when ripped to, much like ripping a CD to disk storage at home.Album ar... | |
| Speakers for aging audiophiles - What's with today bass emphasis ? Lowering bass levels need not be rocket science. Distance from wall and corner reinforcement will do it. If your floors are suspended plywood (they have some give and vibrate if you jump up and down). isolating stands like Isoacoustics will clean ... | |
| Speakers for aging audiophiles - What's with today bass emphasis ? Is the issue with the Logitech, turntable or both?Also those Dynaudios are nearfield monitors. Is that how you listen when you hear too much bass?Placement and room acoustics greatly affects bass response in that range. Have/can you play with that... | |
| Newer cars without cd players-what now? Acura TLX has a cd player that rips cds played to a hard drive so no CD needed after one play. I have not used it yet though. I mostly use plex on iphone and Apple Carplay. Sound quality is very good. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Prof if you get a chance try a pair of OHM Walsh. They might hit a lot of your sweet spots from what I read. If ever in Dc/Baltimore area let me know would be glad to give an audition. | |
| Klipsch Heresy 1 Compatibility question with Class D Amp Should be a good match.The thing I would wonder about is if teh high power (though efficient) amps are overkill for the high efficiency Heresy?That combo should be capable of very high SPL and dynamics.

| What are you streaming tonight? Cleansing Music 50s Bop. Great station for pre-Beatles popular music. LOts of well known and deeper cuts all wonderful sounding. They don't make music like that anymore. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ram is a great abum. Mccartney’s most beatlesque solo album perhaps. Seems much more well received by critics these days than when released and rightfully so. I’ll never understand why Londontown has never caught on that much. | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Gk thank you for the kind words. As for the not so kind ones, guess what? It doesn't matter what you think. | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Prof is also always very polite and respectful even in situations that might not command that. Almarg too. I wish I coukd be as patient and respectful of all as those two. Anyhow in reponse to the OP yes cables matter. No sound using componen... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Oh I almost forgot GK also does pat himself on the back quite a bit. It's a dirty job bt somebody has to do it eh? | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? .... as opposed to GK who mostly just muddles up everything and anything. I guess that is what supposed theoretical physicists selling useless tweaks to bored audiophiles do. | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? +1. Prof knows how to get to the meat of the topic and serve it up comprehensively and accurately in a very unbiased manner. | |
| New Look for Audiogon hard to work with Ditch the portholes pronto. |
