| Sub cable length? No, length does not matter. Nor does the wire. | |
| Music to take to an audition Hey mc......think we’re birds of a feather here Pretty sure the "reference" thing is a phase. Probably most if not all have to go through it. But it is kind of like going back and forth. You do that for a while in the beginning, just to be sure. L... | |
| Best stands so baby doesn't knock speaker over Its not so much the word I am looking for as someone who has a clue what words mean what. Baby, toddler, and child are three very different things. Adult, parent, ditto. Time was every parent, heck every adult for that matter, knew the difference.... | |
| Turntable matching to MC or MM cart. Irrelevant. Beyond irrelevant. MC or MM is irrelevant. Arm is irrelevant. Turntable does not matter either. The one thing that does matter is cartridge output. MC or MM, either way cartridge output must be compatible with your phono stage. If you ... | |
| The Wilt Chamberlain of Audio Gear I am more Erroll Flynn. That sub, she swore she was 18 and sealed, but she looked double-ported, if you know what I mean. | |
| Power amp humming - help please If the hum is physically coming from the amp, specifically from the power supply transformer, that is DC offset hum. This is eliminated either with something like a Humbuster power strip, or by trial and error to find what is plugged in or wired t... | |
| Best stands so baby doesn't knock speaker over We used to have these things called "parents" and "grandparents" that would keep an eye on baby. Also back then we had this technology, I forget the name for it, enabled a makeshift wooden gate about three feet high to be placed across doorways. T... | |
| My new to me Herron VTPH-2A - First impressions A pleasantly non psychoticreaction to a great phono stage.To answer your question: it ain't braggin' when it's true. Applies to all kinds of things. | |
| Step Up/Down Transformers - what to look for & where? Mine's Audio Consulting. What you're talking here is low current, won't need much, 100VA should be plenty, but this does not have to match, if you find a good deal on 500VA or whatever go for it. Most things like laptops that use a charger to conv... | |
| Music to take to an audition This was a topic I could get into, back when I had need of such routines. Learned a long time ago, if you think you need "reference" tracks to judge stuff, don't bother. There's at least 50 other things going on, you think one is going to make any... | |
| Amplifier brand/designer with the most unique and consistent “house sound?” Tim deParavicini, may he rest in peace. | |
| Classical Top Five Silly audiophiles. Trick question. Of course Tchaikovsky is #1. | |
| Stereo system vs Steinway Not paranoid, certainly not. Neurotic, certainly. But considering you are an audiophile, well within the normal range.There's more to it than humidity. Kept at stable room temp, no problem. Cycle temp up and down 10 degrees per day and it won't ma... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3 Yeah and Dave Thompson has quite the tube collection, and from what I hear he knows them all like the back of his hand. | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? That Japanese science thing is very similar to what I have heard from years ago and what Duke has talked about as well. Image focus comes almost entirely from the direct sound. Reflected sound affects this differently depending on the amount of ... |
