| Phono Stage That's not Schiit Decware ZP3 https://www.decware.com/newsite/ZP3.htm Sweet tube sound, lifetime warranty, and if you need a SUT they make it easy with a couple different ones and a lifetime exchange program. Direct sales makes this equivalent to a $2500 stage. Onl... | |
| Position of a 32" X 19" X 19" equipment rack. There's another one who read my advice about "everything matters" and went to a lot of trouble to move his whole system around. The reason I know, he PM'd me saying thanks it was a lot of work but huge improvement! Every case is different, it is v... | |
| Impedance matching, why? Was I expected to read the whole post? Why? The thread title is all the question needed. Input impedance is like a pressure the other component has to work against. The other component can be a cartridge going into a phono stage, phono stage goin... | |
| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? Five to seven lineal feet on the shelf. Whatever that is. Like I'm ever gonna count em. There's a few I kept from new back in the 70's, a bunch inherited from friends and stuff, and a some jazz and classical and other stuff from back when it seeme... | |
| Do you care about car audio? Car audio is like Home Theater: a great way to burn money that could have been spent on your stereo, where you would at least have some really good sound to show for it. | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More! No, I really do hate the projects. Like today sitting on the floor peering into the Moab taking the crossover out measuring and planning on the table, putting it back in. Awkward position cut off the circulation to my legs, damn near killed my bac... | |
| Why Audiophile Cables Might Sound Better after my system and hearing developedClose. Not hearing. Your hearing didn’t change. This is a common mistake people make, hearing. Hearing is passive. You hear the test tone, or you don’t. Listening is active. Listening is a skill. What developed... | |
| Home Theater Bypass , why am I hearing this now. You know the answer. I have explained many times. HT processors are so bad that even bypass costs you sound quality. Took me roughly two full years trying everything I could to have quality stereo and HT in the same room. Bottom line, like everyth... | |
| Position of a 32" X 19" X 19" equipment rack. It is true, but it also is a trade-off. The rack that is or is not between the speakers is only one factor in imaging. We live in the real world not the fantasy world audiophiles make believe they are in. In the fantasy world you can move your rac... | |
| A different view of power cords This is one of the many major challenges involved in building a really good system: weeding through all the BS! I don't mean just the usual BS, people who know next to nothing blathering BS at a rate 10X those with actual useful information. This ... | |
| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? One of my Moab crossovers is out on the table. I am taking a break from wrangling it out of there. Then measure, and back in it goes. The new one will incorporate as much of the "lights out" magic as I can manage. Think your speakers, only inside. 😍😂 | |
| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? I had a lot more respect for Clement Perry before it turns out he doesn't even know about directionality.Probably never noticed the little strip of whatever stuck on the outside. We've got some stuff we could stick on there do the same thing, don'... | |
| EXTRA! EXTRA!! Millercarbon Proven Wrong!!! Read all about it! EXTRA! EXTRA!! So he made you a Mr White in Black. Men In Black. Har! Black is the new White. I'm killing it here! 😂Seriously, yeah you have Supernova. You can see the bare copper conductors through the mesh. Also if you look you can see the 3D printed spacers h... | |
| Holographic Soundstage ? Your speakers at 91dB are not awful but are below my (admittedly totally arbitrary) cutoff of 92dB that anyone should consider before buying any speaker. But plenty of others are in the same boat and getting great sound so that is not the real iss... | |
| Initial disappointment with 1st set of “expensive’ IC’s... Burn in is real. Huge difference. BUT nothing ever goes from crap to magic. Does not happen. What does happen, stuff that sounds really good right from the first minute opens up and fills out and sounds way better as time goes by, sometimes even c... |
