| More power for moderate listening levels? That’s not a contradiction, because I never said to buy speakers to match your amp. | |
| I have been a stickler about keeping power cables away from signal cables...on equipment ? All my components have, and as far as I know have had, the power coming in on one side and as far from inputs as possible. Especially critical in sensitive components like phono stages. Now this may well be due to the way all my components are sel... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Vibration Control Journey Wow. turnbowm, The propensity for ignoring useful information to hatefully go after me is just staggering. Because how could anyone fail to understand? Its clearly stated this was the 1990's. For you who are so challenged, math I know can be hard,... | |
| Never Owned a Tube Amp and Want Advice While cost is not necessarily a quality gauge, with $6,500 list in my digital and less than a $1,000 list in the analog; I keep thinking real improvement is going to require a better table and cartridge.I had what I thought was a really nice digit... | |
| How to damper booming bass... Guys, we've been had. Read the OP again: Other than turning loudness off, is there any way to lessen booming bass? Other than turning loudness off. So loudness is on then? What a colossal waste of time this was. | |
| How to damper booming bass... 1. Move speakers away from walls. 2. Move listening chair away from walls. | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... Tim, they come with a full 30 day return guarantee. Hardly any get returned because they work so well. As redwoodaudio notes the improvement is not subtle. Its roughly equivalent to a good $500 power cord, interconnect, etc. Redwoodaudio, You wi... | |
| How do I pay? The seller is insisting on a payment method there's no good reason to use other than as a ripoff. What more is there to say? | |
| More power for moderate listening levels? It really comes down to priorities and preferences. If high quality at high volume is a priority then you need different speakers. Its that simple. The power demands of those speakers at high volume, forget reserve, you need hundreds of watts. Nee... | |
| Cartridge recommendations under $2500 I have the Koetsu Black Goldline, extremely happy with it on my Origin Live Conqueror arm. I never pay one second of attention to compliance, mass, or any of the other BS that so obsesses some of these guys so maybe they can tell you the only reas... | |
| More power for moderate listening levels? At the SAME volume, will a higher powered amp improve the sound quality?No. It does not work that way. As the great Robert Harley said, "If the first watt isn’t any good, why would you want 200 more of them?" Good question. You have a great amp. Y... | |
| Relative Spending on Turntables and Cartridges He knows he's not getting the most out of the cartridge. He said he wasn't concerned with that in the OP. His question is, is it smarter to budget more like 50/50 cartridge/table vs the conventional 25/75? He thinks that's true, and its hard to a... | |
| Syzygy Acoustics closed 10-2-2020 due to the rona Closed do to the political response to the China virus, you mean. | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... Right. The signal path is not what we think it is. If it was then power conditioners, and even power supplies, would not matter. Heck even speaker cabinets would be irrelevant. Hard to get more outside the signal path than a speaker cabinet. Then ... | |
| Are cable recommendations worth anything? Questions like that make no sense. Not because cables don't make a difference, but because it completely misunderstands the difference they do make. There is no such thing as the best cable between this and that. This and that do not care the sli... |
