| Listening in the dark-Fluorescent lights causing hum I tried plugging the equipment into a Furman DST-8. No improvement.Right. Only one thing will work: ditch the lights. The ballast tends to go bad over time and once this happens there really is nothing to do but replace. You can try LEDs and maybe... | |
| Audiogon Is Still Relevent...Don't Listen to the Naysayers. On balance the blather far outweighs the useful. That said, pay attention, sift and search, this is where I learned about DBA, HFT, ECT, PHT, PPS, springs and Townshend Pods, Herron, Soundsmith, Raven, Tekton, and much, much more. Some of these li... | |
| Why do people care what their speaker wants? Just so you guys know, it wasn't me. | |
| I expected more from my speakers (not high end) Either Tekton if you want new, or the Planetarium if you're willing to try used. Either way you want to stick with high efficiency (absolute minimum 92dB, and preferably 95+) in order to get the sound you want from the amp you have.Either way, hug... | |
| Speaker cable length https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367Nuff said. | |
| Speaker cable length You are going to give up far more in sound quality due to crap wire than you will gain by marginally improved acoustics. | |
| Tekton First Time Buyer Prospect Seeking Advise from Tekton Owners No, not true at all. Stick with what you asked for in the first place, information from those with actual experience. Way too many people on this site blather about that which they know not. Don't be taken in. | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. I used to think your question made sense but then tons of personal experience proved there really is no sensible way of saying anything is any more important than anything else. You want anecdotes? We got anecdotes! Complete systems. Besides my o... | |
| Craigslist Fraud I am shocked, shocked, to hear of fraud on Craig's List! My Talon Khorus speakers were sold on CL, and for top dollar, too. So it is not all scammers. In fact there are a lot fewer scammers than it seems. But when one scammer writes code that can... | |
| Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat Welcome artemus_5 to the club! You make a great point about sugar and salt- and not being curious because, know-it-all. But unfortunately people like mijostyn are so deep in denial they refuse to acknowledge even the most compelling evidence. Th... | |
| CD vs Phono Volume All over the map. What position the volume control is at is the most irrelevant thing in all of audio. It has nothing to do with cartridge loading by the way. All it means is the total output of the cartridge through the phono stage is lower than ... | |
| Help me build my system - amp for b and w 705 s2. Sorry to say you put yourself in a bit of a bind buying speakers with only 88dB sensitivity. Because of this you either listen at low to moderate volume or else you need at least a hundred watts. If you can trade off low to moderate volume for sup... | |
| How to correct a failed test from the Ortofon accuracy in sound record test At your age this will be news but what we do now when we get a test score we don't like is complain and the teacher changes it. It's called grade inflation. Harvey Mansfield gave up and gives all his student's two grades, the A they all expect and... | |
| Grounding with a Earth box? All grounding schemes from component to earth have different levels of impedance (ground potential). We know this much. By no means am I an expert, but by wiring each component’s chassis (earth ground) to the grounding box and adjusting the set... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ vinylshadow- What is The Gate exactly? A noise filter? No, it is not a filter. What it is "exactly" is very hard to say. What I can say for sure is it is not a filter. In the normal sense of the word, a filter is a screen of some kind that allows ... |
