| Best temperature for optimum tube performance Check it out: people taking this seriously. People who most of them never even notice a difference as their components warm up. People who will argue and deny there even IS any difference as a component warms up. But here they are imagining all ki... | |
| Help with upgrade from Marantz 6011 Baby steps. Going to another AVR is baby steps. Will you hear a difference? Maybe. Probably. Will it be worth it? Who knows! What I do know, for what that component "upgrade" costs you could get way more improvement any of a half a dozen different... | |
| Should Box speakers be banned from the marketplace... Finally, someone who makes Biden seem intelligent. | |
| What would you do? I agree with you MillerCarbon. I agree that buying a new component feels risky and may alter the sound I largely love from my relatively simple system . I know others will say "you could just sell it' with respect to a new component. And I ... | |
| Did Nixon Erase My Tape? I'm thinking that tracks 2 and 4 just don't line up correctly with the reverse-playback heads on the X-1000, which itself seems goofy to me. Correct. But nowhere near as goofy as https://youtu.be/gS1AjkXISV4?t=28 | |
| Best temperature for optimum tube performance So what you do, get one of those temperature guns and listen. Play a record, record the temp, play the record, record the temp. Repeat until either you hear a difference or you don't. Report back here- where fifty people who have never bothered to... | |
| Tara labs burn in I have found that with cables, if I don’t like them right out of the box, no amount of running them in, sprinkling with fairy dust or, using Voodoo won’t make them sound better. If you like the sound when new, then you will get refinement as ... | |
| Dedicated power It's not. No one needs 30A. What does help though is the larger gauge. But not enough to be worth the $$. I've actually done this stuff mofojo and not just once but three times, or four or five depending what you want to count, and all in the sa... | |
| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? I got a great deal on a Made in China Conrad Johnson amp. Free egg roll! Only problem, an hour later, you're hungry again! | |
| Stock Leben Hi-Fi Power Cord You do know of course that the whole point of freebie rubber power cords is to leave them in the shipping box so they will be there for the next audiophile to not use? | |
| What would you do? Dude he said he can't make changes there. Sheesh! HFT are more effective anyway. Been on this road a very long time. Been through tons of component upgrades. Tried lots of wire, all kinds of tweaks, you name it. Component upgrades are all goo... | |
| What tests would you like all speaker reviewers to do for their reviews? The acid test: listen. | |
| What would you do? The most cost-effective way of getting exactly what you want- 3D stage, more liquid natural sound- is Schumann generators. There's a whole bunch of them on eBay and Amazon, they are all dirt cheap, and they all work. Even though they look like a j... | |
| Room Treatment Convert Anyone with even a basic knowledge of acoustics could have told you the same thing. What you did is create a diffuser, anything that reflects sound unevenly sending it off in different directions. Your room being fairly small the effect is greater... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options I just don't see you finding the magic you've had anywhere else but tubes. Asking to get that magic while also playing loud AND for under $3k is a pretty tall order. At least with your speakers, which if they are the clones you say they are then ... |
