| Speaker Spike Philosophy The most cost-effective DIY for your situation will be a laminated wood platform a couple inches bigger with springs at the four corners. The first one I built was using springs sourced by searching around eBay. This is a pretty good way to go but... | |
| Finally found a space for the speakers I’ve been storing... and I don’t love them any more From the way you describe the sound you like I would get Double Impacts and never look back. | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy You have a pretty good grasp of the basics of vibration control. At least in terms of- yes the mass of the speaker is so great compared to the moving mass of the cones, etc the cabinet isn’t going to move hardly at all. So holding it fixed isn’t r... | |
| About the importance of the room vs the electronics You’re just upset because we caught you on the "vs" thing and the unfounded idea it’s one or the other. You are lost, dead lost. If you think a Bose Wave Radio can sound like a 300B tube amp in any room you are so lost it is fair to wonder if you ... | |
| 16 years of the same system, time for change? Then you misunderstand. I am with you, spend it now- only spend the fiat not the real money. If you even have any. Few do. Anyway, that's what I'm doing. Hang onto the BTC and bullion, spend the fiat on audio and Porsche. Enjoy it while I can. | |
| Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference? bigkidz-@Millercarbon Just asking what cables transformed your system? I do hear difference but I have never found a cable to transform my system although I would pretty much be open to hear that!I went from Synergistic Research Resolution Refere... | |
| 16 years of the same system, time for change? I would do it the other way around. Spend as much of your stupid money as you can. Save your gold, silver and bitcoin for when you really need it. | |
| How loud are you typically listening? Me too. Screw preservation. No one ever called their family and closest friends to say their last good-bye’s with, "And my one regret, if only I had turned the volume down." | |
| Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference? The YouTuber does not want to admit that his system could sound a lot better with upgraded speaker wire as he does not want to put that cost burden on the system. This is the dilemma we go through every day in this hobby. Yes and once I figured ou... | |
| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. If I told you what I have on order, no one would believe it. Let's just say: wire. | |
| What would be your favorite 3 tracks that demonstrate how great your system sounds? Three tracks? Of music???! Holy expectation bias, Batman! We would need to do a double-blind to be sure if they really can hear the difference between U2 and Bonnie Raitt. That is why I put on the XLO Test CD and give them the Radio Shack SPL mete... | |
| Two defective pieces in a row - unreasonable to demand refund? Great opportunity to get out of an overloaded overpriced Mac and into a sweet high value Raven. | |
| About the importance of the room vs the electronics Wait- room? What room??Nevermind I get it now: Roon! | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk Haven't compared the two amps but I've done the rough equivalent by going to better caps and diodes. A lot of the difference between the amps is their bespoke Raven caps. These types of upgrades are always worth it, with a significant improvement ... | |
| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. Hope you will be writing that up, slaw. Can't wait. |
