| Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)? I always run the stylus through a stylus brush before playing. | |
| Something just isn't there IF you are using subs in particular, be leary of floor interactions as a primary culprit for muddy or obscured sound. Could occur with mains as well. Bass may seem muddy or fat and obscure details higher up in midrange. Suspended plywood floors ar... | |
| Something just isn't there IS it better with some kinds of music than others?Can you physically feel the music when called for as well as hear it? | |
| Will audio streaming devices push out computer audio? Wireless streaming is the way to go for best chance at best sound with low noise and distortion. Wifi or Bluetooth. Source can be any commercial computer capable of running the software needed if connections to streamers are wireless because there... | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? Clearly larger active or powered speakers or speakers with integrated powered subwoofers are best able to do it but I’m wondering more about purely passive speakers even if only in a smaller room. I realize room acoustics play a big part. I'm a... | |
| Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)? I clean records thoroughly once then just use carbon fiver brush to remove dust after that normally. I clean records manually which is a chore. If I had a nice automatic ultrasonic cleaner I would probably use it more often. Those things are a sig... | |
| Class D Technology Guido have you heard ref1000m amps respond similarly to power cords? In what way specifically? Thanks. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Mapman, congrats on reaching the magic 14,000. Could not have done it without you buddy. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... The nice gear the fuses were in probably had something to do with earning all those notes. I wonder how many notes earned with the original fuses? Would be be nice to be able to earn so much credit so easily. | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? We all probably do actually.I’d bet anything they would have a clear and huge effect on what anyone hears. Unless deaf to start with. Unlike orientation of copper crystals in wires. My dog told me so. For now I will merely just cup my hands behind... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? "A difference that makes no difference is no difference"-famous Vulcan proverbIs this one of those?I’m sure there is someone out there who hears a difference when crystals oriented one way as opposed to another. Can it horror of horrors perhaps ev... | |
| Class D Technology Mid fi has a negative connotation in these parts. That’s all. One can either laugh or be insulted. Best to not use the term unless that is the message intended.Some amps of any type can be labeled as mid fi compared to others of same type, SS Clas... | |
| Class D Technology The newer Class D integrateds I have heard like BC C5i and Rogue Pharoah and Sphinx are game changers for me. Prior to these, I would not have thought to ever replace separates with an integrated amp, but I would strongly consider that with any of... | |
| Class D Technology Whatever Ralph meant the mid-fi comment did make me laugh knowing that the sound I hear from practical Class D amps today (like the ones I own which are neither the least or most expensive) is not mid-fi by any reasonable listening standard. I sup... | |
