| Some have called it "the ultimate component", your listening room? The room is just one item on a very long list of things that make for great sound. Don't blow it out of proportion. | |
| Synergistic Research EXCITE Phono Cable Actually, no, you don't need this. Not at all. If it sounds great you are done. Unless you really to want to experiment with loading. But in that case you go by your ears, regardless of whatever number they give you. Since the final arbiter either... | |
| Warm up time for record playing So as promised I did run the table 24 minutes before playing a side. There was still the same improvement across the first side, but it seemed to be starting from a higher level. So motor and bearing are probably at least a part of it.Gosh Millerc... | |
| How is Good question. I myself have often wondered how two mono amps is an upgrade. | |
| Cable Length Optimization...Speaker vs Interconnect, etc. Always love the "separates on a limited budget". Anyway, surprise, no one needs XLR for length. That stuff is made for professional use where the runs are tens of meters, not ten feet. Another one audiophiles completely misunderstand. So save you... | |
| Without snark, if possible - Syn Res vs Transparent Synergistic Research has a very well defined house sound that is big and bold and to my ears strikes the best balance of detail resolution, dynamics, extension and smoothness. The vast majority of cables err on the fast thin side paying short shri... | |
| Flat screen between speakers, again. Long ago way before the projection screen that mounts on the wall I had a TV. I mean a real vacuum tube TV. As thick as it was wide, which wasn't much, only 32" screen. Yet that was big enough to hear the improvement when covered with a thick blan... | |
| Your first step down the "audiophile" path? And sharing mine. Close N Play. | |
| Why so obsessed with bass? Had to laugh when I read, "its actually about QUALITY, not QUANTITY" because, with subs, you need quantity (more subs) to get quality (better bass). | |
| Phono amp picking up radio station from turntable rca’s All you can do is what anyone does with a noise problem, keep trying until you get lucky and find the source. In general terms, all the wire from the interconnect to the arm and cartridge and all the way until it gets inside the phono stage is one... | |
| Minimum standards within the High end speaker industry Standards? You mean like amplifiers? Those are regulated. Strictly regulated. Power claims must be RMS, and measured after a rigorously defined warm-up period. What I want to know from you kenjit, is how you think this has helped amplifiers to sou... | |
| Early Faint "Phantom" Turntable/Vinyl Signal??? Its called pre-echo. Record grooves are originally cut into a very soft special wax. This wax is so soft it deforms easily. Sometimes if the grooves are not spaced widely enough apart the squiggles from the music being cut deforms the wax enough t... | |
| Warm up time for record playing It seems that my records don’t realize their full sonic potential until about 45 minutes of playing. Even if the rest of the system is already warmed up.Coulda sworn I answered this. Internet ate it? Whatever. Its funny, I have mentioned this a ha... | |
| When was the first time that you heard great sounding speakers? That's easy! Linaeum Model 10 at Corner Audio in Portland back around 1993. Joe had them with some integrated tube amp, ashamed to say I never noted the name, because it was the best I heard. The sound was so good that as we were leaving my wife a... | |
