| A system for my college-bound daughter Wilson tune tots or Magico A1. Perfect little speakers for a cheap dorm room system. Perfect for casual listening. If you are a superior audiophile like me you would need a custom tuned speaker system made of concrete a few feet thick. No rattling... | |
| Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had? My dad was like that. Steelhead are wily, wild, hard to catch. One day dad hooks a big one. We come running, mom comes running, but mom is slow the fish is landed. Dad hasn't unhooked it yet so no problem, puts it back in so mom can admire the gre... | |
| Need advice on used Wilson Audio speakers Wilson Sabrina, however fine a speaker they may be (and I have yet to hear any Wilson I would enjoy, even if given to me for free) and however much you may like them, they are awfully inefficient and hard to drive. Do a search, won't take long to ... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip mtmug- I think it is safe to say that I am one of the confused ones. If we ignore changes in amplitude over time (impulses) and just stick with a sustained tone at a given frequency, how are two wave fronts 180 degrees out of phase not the sam... | |
| Craigslist Fraud I did not even know it was possible to mod a girlfriend. And not for lack of trying! | |
| How to go about collecting Classical Music Having ruled out vinyl then stream, absolutely, and MikeLavigne nailed it. | |
| Need speaker advice Being in Sweden, you should totally order Tekton Moabs. First because they are fabulous. Absolutely unbeatable for anywhere near their asking price. Second because they are soon to undergo a price hike. They tried it once, even at $5k they are a s... | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? My speaker cables are very old, about 15 years. Of course they are Synergistic Research Element CTS, with Michael Spallone modified Tesla power, and I've only had them less than 3 years. Retail $7500 when new in 2005 mine were about $1100, includi... | |
| What are all these metal cans/pods sitting on top of electronics? This is a form of mass loading, a type of vibration control. Nothing special, just solid mass. Looks better than a phone book, one of the first I tried 30+ years ago. That's how old this is. You can try a book, dive weights https://systems.audiogo... | |
| Pivot to Spindle distance Sounds spectacular with my redoing the entire setup.Yes, I could have told you that. Probably everyone here has heard this before, but the thing is most people while they want to believe they think and figure stuff out the truth is they mostly rep... | |
| Which Cartridge/TT to buy - Ortofon MM Black, Rega Exact, Rega Ania? Will the cartridges sound good on the turntables ill fit them to?Of course they will.Which cartridge should I get based on my music preference?It's sound preference, not music. Find a cartridge with the right sound, it will be right for everything... | |
| Canine Listeners? One night playing Tchaikovsky 1812 Lassie ran in, gave me "the look" and when I didn't "get it" she went over and started staring intently at the conditioner. Then she looks at me like, "Well??!" What is it, Lassie? What is it, girl?Actually she... | |
| The best TT system for under 30K You have a great attitude. People drive themselves crazy agonizing when it never does any good. Especially not with turntables where everything in your price range is freaking amazing, spellbinding, and let's face it impossible to beat other than... | |
| Moving audio gear in sub zero temperatures I have a bunch of stuff that was submerged in liquid nitrogen for a week. So no, I don't think overnight in a car is a problem. | |
| Power Cord Order of importance Honestly don't think it matters which one, if it is a good power cord it will make the same improvement whether on a DAC, pre-amp, amp, etc. Don't take my word for it, move them around, see what I mean. What does make a difference is if you upgrad... |
