Does altitude change the sound of speakers?? Make sure you increase the timing by a couple ticks and lean out the carb. She’ll run fine. | |
In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment The people who they are appealing to are not affected in any way by the current economic crisis. 30k to them is like 30 to me. God bless them and may they stay healthy. My wife is a nurse and I can assure you that covid19 is not concerned with you... | |
Feeling Tweaky Was not! My personality was geared towards the more relaxed scene ( if you know what I mean). | |
Feeling Tweaky Tweakers. Knew lots of them when I was younger. | |
How many people here generally buy used? Everything used except I just purchased a brand new dac. I wanted the 60 day trial with full refund. So far it’s a keeper. I’ve got 30 more days to decide. | |
Speaker cable arrows??? If it sounds better it matters. I have arrows on my cables. I run them source(pre) to input (amp).also dac (source) to pre (input). I haven’t tried them in reverse because they sound so sweet. | |
Very small room! Help me with monitor speakers This is the 3rd post regarding this in 4 days. Go jump on those music culture rl-21 on usaudio. Extremely rare, from Germany, Wolfgang meletsky( mbl fame) designed. Silk dome tweeter with Davis driver. Midrange that would make you cry with plenty... | |
Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp? To me a high powered class a amp with a tube pre sounds best. I like Conrad Johnson pres. . Build quality is great and they sound oh so sweet. Run those with some high power 4ohm speakers and you can feel the music, even at low volume. Think Wils... | |
Suggestions for $2k budget Go jump on those music culture rl-21 on usaudio. Might be the only pair you’ll ever see for sale in the us. It’s in your budget. They’ll blow your mind. | |
Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! Sparky is wrong. Just get an Rf detector and listen to all the stuff coming through your a/c line. I have a dedicated 20 amp line with an audioquest Edison 20 amp outlet and a furman power conditioner. Anyone who comes over and listens to my syste... | |
Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair Music culture rl-21s. Best I’ve ever heard. There’s a pair for sale on us audio mart. That’s the 2nd pair I’ve ever seen in 10yrs. Way under your budget. | |
Unreal prices Sx1980 tons o problems. Frying the boards due to improper engineering. The 1250 is a much better receiver and the very best one pioneer ever made. I’d still take a sansui g9000, 22000 or the mother of all receivers the 33000 over any of them. The ... | |
Who's Gone Topless? It’s getting to the point where a person can’t even share a noticeable change in his/her system without everyone arguing about it. Pretty pathetic. We should all be happy we aren’t 6’ under and still have the ability to listen to music. I think ne... | |
My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey Magico for 3k. I’d like those as well. Marantz avr? That’s gotta go. You will need to change your hardware and speakers. Your hearing your horrendous receiver through detailed speakers. That’s a big problem. | |
Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? Nod to Pass. Tubelike sound with excellent detail. Great resale because you’ll be selling eventually. It’s a sickness ( bad choice of words). |
