| Looking for a phono stage with pleasing coloration Good idea. But note the Decware SUT uses infinitely adjustable loading - on the fly - simply turn the knob. | |
| Experiment question about sound treatment project Your plan is exactly what I did and still recommend. Owens Corning 703 acoustic panel is practically an industry standard, and widely available in 2'x3' sheets 1" to 3" or thicker. The thicker you go the lower the frequency, with 1" being fine for... | |
| Best modern 6550 tube for ARC per-amp Brother. Just so you know, by this "logic" the diodes, power supply caps, fuses, transformer, power cord, AC power conditioner- none of that matters because "it does not directly participate in the amplification circuit of the audio signal". The r... | |
| Looking for a phono stage with pleasing coloration Yes the SUT is more or less essential. I've never been into them but this Decware design is integral and using theirs, exchange program even, its an interesting solution. Seriously considering trying one, and I have a Herron which is a fantastic p... | |
| Looking for a phono stage with pleasing coloration Two options. One cheap, the other still within your budget. Cheap one, Audio Research PH3SE. Had one well over 20 years, has all the qualities you want. Specifically the warm woody tone with good extension. The warm woody tone is very slight. Did ... | |
| Surround setup problem Another easy one: Switch to stereo. Ditch surround. You said, "In preparation for" so there may still be time. Even having a surround processor in the room, those things are such crap the noise from the chips and everything is impossible to elimin... | |
| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? The general use of overly broad statements makes the OP’s thesis unassailable, not because it rely on hard facts and small, logical inferential steps from them, but instead paints in broad strokes. Pure opinion, and even accuses some vague group o... | |
| Cable combo’s that won’t break the bank? Relax. There hasn’t been a break in a US bank in decades. Buy what you want and when you get into trouble simply redefine deposits as unsecured loans, take all their money, and restructure.**As whacky as it sounds this really is official banking p... | |
| Opinions!! Most importantly I am looking for a detailed wide soundstageNumber one comment I get, they are always impressed with the detailed wide (and deep) sound stage. The last group who were here, we played Aja, said it was the best he ever heard. Tekton ... | |
| Can Monoblock be split for analog and digital I'm no expert, but it seems the worst that can happen is you get some ground loop hum. Not saying even that will happen, just its the worst I can imagine. No idea what you mean by parasitic loss, other than yes of course adding a splitter is certa... | |
| What do you take when demoing new gear? Source material, pshaw! First time I saw a turntable at Definitive was unexpected, asked if they had something to play? We dug through a small stack of utterly unrecognizable worn dirty second hand beat up crap until giving up I said this'll do. W... | |
| Mad Scientist IC’s Of all the many things it could be you assume its this one in particular. Why? | |
| Opening Record Store Northern California Bay Area. California???! No one in their right mind is opening a business in California! Democrats have so thoroughly screwed California the people trying to flee can't, there aren't enough rental trucks to move them all out! H... | |
| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? Everything you need to know about Class D amps - all gear really - you can learn right here without ever reading so much as one single review. Simply look at who is saying the whatever is so great- and who is not.No one can ever tell you the whole... | |
| Silver/copper alloy cables Your question seems to be based on the idea that since copper and silver sound a certain way all we have to do is mix (alloy) them together and we get the best of both. Like mixing pineapple juice and rum. Only these are metals. Silver melts at 96... |
