| Do you think you need a subwoofer? @rauliruegas I did not say it was new and I recommend ML subs all the time. KEF does it with the Blade. Magico does it with their Q subs. I am not familiar with HSU, but good for them. You are also right that digital bass management with crosso... | |
| 300B SET Amp driving Wilson Sabrinas @ghdprentice The CDC is a totally lost cause. All of these silly studies are assumptions taken by people who hate loud music. Think about it. How do you do a study like that. Are you going to subject people to 95 dB for years to see what happens? ... | |
| Buying Used Speakers @cubbiesman Great loudspeakers have become stupidly expensive, but they are terrible investments. High end audiophiles are forever getting the next best speaker. Let them take the hit buying new. The only real problem is reliability. Except for ES... | |
| Thinking of trying the new Schiit Skoll to replace my Rega MCFono This is a sideways move. Save up and get something like a Sutherland. | |
| 300B SET Amp driving Wilson Sabrinas @carlsbad2 @jasonbourne71 is exactly right. Live music is extremely dynamic. Have you ever been 15 feet from a drum set? 85 dB is for apartment dwellers. Real men listen at 95dB and piss off their wives. Sabrinas will do this easily, but that a... | |
| Vibration Question @pindac The artificially applied kinetic energy is just a very rough indicator. @dogberry relates that thumps make it through with his Soundsmith which means that low frequencies are being transferred to the stylus of every cartridge, but one can ... | |
| Wonder Why No Japanese Retippers? It may be because they have the manufacturers do the retipping. | |
| 300B SET Amp driving Wilson Sabrinas No surprise at all. Now, turn it up and see what happens. IMHO music should be listen to at realistic levels, but kept below ear damage levels. Many people listen quietly for a number of reasons and might get away with a SET amp. If you really wan... | |
| What is the quality and performance level of Fluance turntables?? @ghdprentice 1++ Cheap does as cheap is. Go with Rega. | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? @mke246 Again it is not just the added bass performance you are looking for. It is improving the performance of your 8351Bs. 85 Hz is OK, but I would go higher at 100 Hz. Just removing turntable and record rumble from the 8351Bs will make a signif... | |
| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? I might also add that measuring your system in place is much more informative. | |
| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? The amplitude response of a speaker is a moving target. It will change depending on the room. There are also other factors that play a significant role in audio fidelity like phase behavior and group delays. I do not pay attention to specs. I revi... | |
| first & last system Save your money and get a Sonos system. You can paint it pink. | |
| No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse? All of you blow my mind. Do you realize how silly this sounds. Fuses make absolutely no difference in the way a system sounds until they blow. | |
| 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... |
