| New to 2.2 Stereo...Pointers? Sorry oldhvymec, but what is a bass bin? I had the subs crossover set to the lowest Hz on their dials (30 Hz HSU, 50 Hz SVS). My speakers are full range floor standers. https://www.monitoraudio.com/e... | |
| Is Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) sexist? Bottom line, WAF speaks of 1. the one who is NOT (so much) into music, 2. the one who is NOT buying equipment and placing it in the main living space (dedicated listening spaces only need the main listener's approval) 3. the one who is NOT twea... | |
| Doe you enjoy your listening to music and your system more with others or alone? Mostly alone for total enjoyment and ownership of the sweet spot (recliner). My husband may mosey in and request something every now and then. I share certain songs with my kids sometimes. But when the family gathered (pre-COVID era), I 'd usually... | |
| Don't like vinyl I like (not love) vinyl and I don't even have an expensive set up. But to clarify, my collection is limited to LP's & 45's I heard as a youngster and teenager. (My mother belonged to Columbia Record Club for a while). Had a ton of fun spending... | |
| Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?... Perhaps to some, but definitely not to all... | |
| Reputable restorer for vintage integrated amp The amp arrived. I took the lid off to have a look and found the capacitor doomed to start a fire was missing. Don't know if the original owner's had it fixed back when this issue first came about, but I've lucked out. The amp is now being used as... | |
| Reputable restorer for vintage integrated amp k5d, that was very thorough. Your Perreaux looks quite nice. Never heard of the brand until now, but there are so many brands to choose from and America only has a portion of what's available. Glad to hear Precision Audio Labs Service Center kept ... | |
| Reputable restorer for vintage integrated amp Thanks motorawayl. Stereorehab says they use only genuine replacement parts. I bet those are hard to come by. Can't see how it wouldn't be expensive, too. But once my unit arrives, I'll give them a call. | |
| Reputable restorer for vintage integrated amp Thanks k5d. How long did it take for them to get your preamp back to you and what did they do to it? | |
| Religious music for less than devout Heard some gospel jazz about 20 years ago in church from a saxophonist. I was intrigued, went home, did some research and found these guys:Allen & Allen (keyboard and saxophone)Ben Tankard (mostly keyboard but plays other instruments, too)Jeff... | |
| Synergistic Research GCT's? On more careful reading I see one of the results of using GCT's is a warmer sound. I don't like warm. So acquiring GCT's has been scratched from my list. I'm so mesmerized with the way my system sounds now I'm in no hurry to buy the ECT's. New pla... | |
| Small space listening room @jasonsim, by another level I mean the FEQx4 cleans up the sound. When I flip the switch the FEQ dials in all the HFT's and PHT's in my listening room making voices and instruments sound so natural. It's easier to differentiate 2 or more voices or... | |
| Small space listening room Yes, millercarbon, my speakers have the full HFT kit as do my front, side and back walls. The FEQx4 takes it to another level. And even though they say use one PHT at a time for differing results, I have the type I and S on my phono head shell :) ... | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers @emailists I understand. I am also a female audiophile. Those who have said, non-audiophiles have no clue how much audio equipment costs or the precision it takes to set a system up are on track. I can only imagine the pain (and anger) felt by tho... | |
| Stynergistic Research FEQ X 4 @georgehifi what part of this don't you understand? I also wrote: "and now have the FEQ x 4 in place behind my speakers." millercarbon responded: "FEQ I've not tried but it is electronic therefore Id expect improvement over the next few days an... |
