| can subwoofers make things worse? I have been using, and building subwoofers since 1978. Subwoofers, the way they are commonly set up, virtually always make things worse. To make subwoofers improve the overall performance of a system you have to use at least two 12" inch subwoof... | |
| McIntosh 2.1kw amplifier? Just because an amp is powerful does not mean that it is going to sound good in any particular loudspeaker. | |
| Kuzma Stabi R vs Dr. Feickert Woodpecker 2 vs TD 124DD @lewm Good work! your getting the hang of it:-) | |
| New Phono Cart with Character Needed @rauliruegas I think usually when people are looking for a "warm" sound they are looking for an amplitude response that is tilted towards the low end or in other words the OP is trying to avoid a bright cartridge. Perhaps his system is already o... | |
| Speaker Pairing - First Watt F8 Sure, a horn loaded speaker with an impedance of 8 ohms or above. In terms of value you can not beat Klipsch Cornwalls. | |
| SnubWay Question Thread @verafiaudio Mark, those are the same old arguments every scam artist uses and you are better than that. I want to see things like the affect of your device on the output of the power supplies of an assortment of equipment. Humans are extremel... | |
| SnubWay Question Thread @verafiaudio Very nice demonstration. There is one problem. Does ultrasonic noise in an AC lines affect audio quality with well designed audio equipment? I have never seen any evidence that it does. What people think they hear is anecdotal and h... | |
| Kuzma Stabi R vs Dr. Feickert Woodpecker 2 vs TD 124DD The Kuzma Stabi R on a good Isolation platform like a Vibraplane or MinusK is a very difficult turntable to better. The only turntable in this price range I prefer is the Sota Cosmos due to it's magnetic thrust bearing, vacuum clamping, enclosed s... | |
| Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained? Love of music, a father into stereo in it's very early days, curiosity, Learning how to use a soldering iron, Dynakits, 60 years, plenty of mistakes along the way. I'm almost there, right. | |
| Denon DL-103D compatibility with Jelco TS550L arm The DL103 should be fine in the Jelco. However, it is important to measure the resonance frequency with a test record as there is a large amount of variability. You also want to make sure you are down by 8 Hz for the best bass. | |
| Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! @mrdecibel We are two peas in a pod. The ability to play cleanly at realistic levels is the mark of a great system. People do not realize how loud it is until they try to have a conversation. Getting the bass to feel right is the hardest part. W... | |
| Lowest priced MC thats better than a Premium MM? @lewm 1++ The Soundsmith Voice is the best high output cartridge I have ever had in my system. In order to better it with a LOMC cartridge I had to spend $8000 plus. They are two different markets and the pricing is vastly different. I had a conv... | |
| Good measuring DACs vs. @koestner 1+ Some manufacturers intentionally add harmonic distortion to amplifiers because many audiophiles like it. Not to mention that most audiophiles are trying to judge equipment through speaker/rooms that have insane amounts of distortion.... | |
| Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! @ellajeanelle You can have all of it, volume, low bass and refinement. I do use QSC amps to drive my subwoofers but would never resort to PA loudspeakers for home use. They are usually fatally colored. I can understand the attraction as commerc... | |
