| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... The 3.7I is built to a price successfully making it one of the great values in HiFi. I would biamp them using digital filters and add two sealed subwoofers using digital bass management. Open baffle subwoofers are a silly concept. I have to beli... | |
| Vibration Question @dogberry Put the stylus down on a stationary record and turn up the volume. Take a teaspoon and tap the oak around the turntable. You should not hear anything. | |
| Should I update a vintage 16" broadcast transcription turntable? @ghdprentice I'm glad I could amuse you, but I was being serious and trying to save the OP from making an expensive mistake. I owned a rumble machine once and it was very frustrating, right up there with a noisy phono stage. When you have a very q... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? @mke246 Cool Loudspeaker. I assume you have them up on stands? I saw Ain't Misbehavin 3 times. Think of it this way, you are getting two subwoofers to improve the performance of your Genelecs. Your woofers cross to the midrange at 320 hz. Middle... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? @rauliruegas is right in many ways with a few caveats. In a normal point source system two subwoofers is fine and more does not add much. Line source systems require a driver every 4-5 feet along a wall to form a line source subwoofer to match t... | |
| Should I update a vintage 16" broadcast transcription turntable? You will only wind up with a rumble machine. Put it on display and buy yourself a good modern turntable. | |
| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs Let's hold a seance. | |
| Digital with same soundstage as analog @ghdprentice You are sort of right. It is just numbers. There should be absolutely no difference. The same numbers should sound the same played back through the same DAC, but they do not. Something is happening somewhere down the streaming line to... | |
| Digital with same soundstage as analog Digital done correctly is superior to analog in every way and streaming is definitely NOT the right way to do it. I have a friend with a modest, but effective system who listened mostly by streaming. On his system we compared a 24/96 digital file ... | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama This reeks of insecurity, not surprising for a company that can't design loudspeakers correctly. Tekton would have to prove malice on the part of the reviewer, which is just short of impossible. The sad part is the reviewer will have to pay lawy... | |
| Live Vibe Audio Anyone here ever been in a formula one car? Hows about heard a formula one car? They feel like they sound. Vibration off the charts. They have a lot of very sensitive electronic instruments in those cars and they seem to work just fine. Now you wo... | |
| phono stage help please. The Pass phono stages are excellent, but you should really look at the very highly rated Channel D Lino C. Stereophile has it as an A+ component. If you are a rock fan and you like your dynamics I would stick with the Ortofon. If you want a higher... | |
| Heavy speakers: How to be able to reposition? You can hire movers. You can also get a set of furnisher movers or sliders. You lever up an edge of the speaker and place a slider at each corner, then you can slide the speaker around. | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? @rauliruegas I think I had the wrong member. It is @sksos or @sksos1 who heard them yesterday. | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? @rauliruegas I never said that! From the second I first fired them up I knew Sub model 3 was deficient, but I did learn a lot from building them. Sometimes you have to know what does not work to know what might work. Sub model 4 was inspired by Ma... |
