| Tube Amp lower power vs higher power and cruising volume The great Robert Harley said, "If the first watt isn't any good why would you want 200 more of them?" Its not the amp that "opens up" its the speakers. Tube amp sound is mostly like Ralph said transformers and driver circuits. Its superficial repe... | |
| Acoustic Revive RR-77, 777, 888 Schumann Generator Listen with your ears and experiment.... The sound waves will not know the price you have paid for your materials and devices controls and will act nevermind the price in a positive way or not... That’s for sure. Professionally made often times do... | |
| Keeping an IC broken-in…is this a good idea? Caelin brought some power cords over one time. This was like 1994 or 5, Shunyata was very much a startup plus power cords were still pretty new back then. Caelin takes one out of his case holding it like its a Faberge Egg or something. This one au... | |
| Synergistic PHT... any other PHT heads here? Tried them different places, separately and together. Wound up with one Black Beauty and one Green Dream right on top of the Koetsu. My Origin Live Conqueror arm has holes in the head shell that line up perfectly to put one PHT in each hole. Their... | |
| Acoustic Revive RR-77, 777, 888 Schumann Generator Got notified two delivered just now. Fast shipper, and almost a week earlier than expected. Will have to wait for when I get home tonight. These are the cheap ones, just the circuit board no power, for $10 each. They do come with their own USB c... | |
| Synergistic PHT... any other PHT heads here? That's the combination I like the best too. Black Widow is more dynamic and open, Green Dream is more liquid and smooth. Both throw a better stage and they combine together beautifully. I have one or two ECT on the tone arm base as well. | |
| Upgrade power cable on video game console Power cords have worked on everything I've tried them on, and that's a lot of stuff! They don't seem to make quite as big a difference with video as audio, although bear in mind those two are so very different its impossible really to equate. I th... | |
| Audiophile demographics? Unlike you, I don't mind people disagreeing with me. Yes you do. You are fit to burst at being caught out with your divisive and pathetic attempt at virtue signaling. | |
| Will a tube amp work well on Revel f208? Yeah, a lot of what passes for conventional wisdom turns out to be not all that. | |
| Audiophile demographics? You can blame me for asking the question again, but if the responses are any indication, the demographics haven't changed and female stereotyping is still an issue. Sad, but not surprising as the world gets more polarized every day. What a ste... | |
| Magico SPOD 8 & Flooring The pods you seek are Townshend Podiums. Springs are totally the way to go, Townshend are the best springs, and Podiums are the best for speakers. Type of floor won't matter, and they are super easy to level and position. So there you go. | |
| Will a tube amp work well on Revel f208? Its not impedance, its sensitivity you want to pay attention to. And its not watts, its the amplifier. Sorry if that sounds vague but with tube amps its more the design and especially the transformers than the watts. Hard to believe until you hear... | |
| Keeping an IC broken-in…is this a good idea? Yup. Won't do a thing. If you're really picky, store it in a drawer being careful to minimize bending/twisting. | |
| Speakers good for close to wall placement Lather. Lather, rinse, repeat. Nothing like working up a good lather. | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! So I was right, its mixed in the vinyl. Next thing, why assume no one does this any more? Some may well be doing it (or something like it) and just not advertising it. This would certainly explain my experience of some records being incredibly cha... |
