| NOS 6550 Longevity I can categorically state without a doubt they will last until they wear out. | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! Lots of really important lessons. A few of the biggies: At the top of the list: Ignore specs. Only two specs matter: speaker sensitivity, and cartridge output. Buy speakers with sensitivity of at least 92dB, and cartridges with at least 0.5mV, and... | |
| Newb - Ideas For Quality vs Quantity For 2 Ch Amp/Pre or Integrated (and speakers) It was suggested to me that a tube amp (not preamp) is not recommended to play all day long, which is usually what I do. Do you have a different opinion?Do you want music? Or do you want an appliance? The sound I am talking about you cannot get fr... | |
| Two subwoofers for two channel music listening Audio Alchemy says NOT to hook subs up from their speaker binding posts, whereas Paul McGowan (PS Audio) did a video on speaker to sub Right, but the OP specifically stated his subs have BOTH line level AND high level inputs. There is an inter... | |
| Best type of metal for turntable platform? Its not the metal. There are no metals that are good for vibration control. The reason you see all these metal racks is the same reason for all the MDF speakers- these materials are inexpensive and easily machined. The place where you get the most... | |
| Two subwoofers for two channel music listening Right. No difference. Sub bass is mono. Line level or speaker level, same result. Running from one to he next is fine too. I've done all three. No difference. Use whichever is most convenient. | |

| Vibration Control and the Townshend Audio Seismic Pods Townshend Pods were so good under my turntable and amp that I decided to try them under my Herron phono stage. The Herron is on the bottom shelf of my solid concrete rack. The bottom shelf includes a bed of sand mixed in mineral oil and about 2" d... | |
| Speaker cable length I don't mean to be acrid here, but those of you is spousing really short speaker cable lengths seem to be out of touch with a lot of systems reality. Welcome then to the Twilight Zone. None of this actually exists. Nor do I. Nor, interestingly eno... | |

| Playing with two sets of speakers simultaneoulsy Had a similar experience back in college in the 1970's. Me and my roommate both had unusually good systems for the day, and running both together was the best. Didn't know it then, but now I do, that a lot of this was due to the fact that multipl... | |
| Pro Mid field monitors vs audiophile speakers. If you're hearing Tekton mushy and without detail, it could be your ears, it could be your room, or it could be your related equipment, but it is not the speakers. No idea what you mean by "better specs" but specs in general are an awful way to bu... | |
| 300Bs - does leaving them on shorten their life? tempted to turn on and leave on all day. Instead of powering up and down many times. Correct answer depends entirely on what you mean by "many times". If you mean many times a day, the greatest most intense stress is the thermal expansion going fr... | |
| What speakers are shown in the movie The Counselor? Hollywood doesn’t know audiophile, but they certainly know character and mood. Those Meridian speakers perfectly convey that the character has tons of money and little in the way of taste. Just look at that picture. Working so hard at being trendy... | |
| Newb - Ideas For Quality vs Quantity For 2 Ch Amp/Pre or Integrated (and speakers) Smart move. HT is horrid. You have no idea. The stuff I am about to list will be so much better than HT it will be hard to get your mind around it. Speakers that sound magical with low to moderate tube watts are what I am all about. Right in my bu... |
