| Stupid Mistake Interesting how these little accidents prove so many things a lot of so-called audiophiles claim are impossible. In the first place its impossible to remember what anything sounds like for more than a millisecond. Since you didn't swap amps at the... | |
| Amplifier warm up Yes, that's exactly what happened. These are solid state components. SS takes much longer than tubes to warm up and sound their best. In fact they really should be left on 24/7 if you want them to sound their best. But hey, don't take my word for ... | |
| Bryston B 100SST integrated thoughts? Good for you. Know thyself. Always good advice. | |
| What's your definition of an audiophile? Audiophiles use their equipment as an excuse to buy still more equipment to graph the sound their equipment makes. Then still more equipment to change the graphs their equipment made. Audiophiles love a pretty graph. Not as pithy as Parsons. But ... | |
| Will this sensitivity for a MC input on an amp be enough for my cartridge? Right. McIntosh aren’t just bought for the blue lights. Don't forget name recognition. | |
| My thoughts on TT isolation methods. Well see cost is a factor. As big an improvement as the Special K would surely be its getting well into Soundsmith strain gauge money. It might be good but I doubt its that good. My whole rack on the other hand was under $300, including the granit... | |
| Footers Under Power Conditioners? What the.... Critical Mass Footers- $240 EACH! lol! That's $720 to $960 a set! Is that right???! Anyone even thinking about spending that kind of money should definitely try a set of Nobsound springs. Not because I expect them to be better. But to... | |
| Footers Under Power Conditioners? Nobsound springs will open up the ability to tune the sound. With more springs they are stiff and the sound will tilt towards the top end and detail. With fewer springs they compress more and the sound shifts to greater warmth and bottom end. Besi... | |
| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? Oh yes MC, Joe Weber at Corner Audio. Spent lots of money there, Joe got me into high end audio. Those were the days! Joe was one of the very best. He was great like that. Let you alone to listen. As good as his stuff was, you couldn't help but ge... | |
| Footers Under Power Conditioners? So much of this stuff is really on the edge.Do we really hear a difference or is it just an expectation?Bob Don't know about you Bob but I totally hear it. See my system page for comments about a recent visitor Deborah who heard and described Cab... | |
| Footers Under Power Conditioners? My conditioner was on BDR Cones for years. Recently tried Nobsound springs. Well if you look at my system the conditioner is modded to the point its practically DIY. There's big stiff power cords coming in on three sides and the top. So even with ... | |
| Building Tube Amplifier Kits in Bloomberg Business Week 10/26 issue. No. What's become mainstream is the fake narrative that we can all be quarantined at home and be just as happy and fulfilled (and paid) as before. Watch next month for articles on all the fancy great ways you can bake a turkey breast now that no o... | |
| Granite Bases for Vandersteen speakers These things work great. Too bad they are out of stock. https://www.amazon.sg/Douk-Audio-Isolation-Amplifier-Turntable/dp/B07K9ZYP84 Search around, others might have them. Sorry, did not know Vandersteen were hyper coherent. That being the case sp... | |
| Amp or DAC? I guess since this is in Tech Talk should probably give a more technical explanation why power is irrelevant. Music is highly dynamic in nature. Sound is logarithmic in power. What this means, to go even a tiny little bit louder like say 3dB, no... | |
| Amp or DAC? If you're lucky enough to reach mediocre. The worst sounding system I ever heard was all stuff that looked beautiful on paper. It was also the most money I have seen anyone spend to achieve horrid sound. One night after listening to my system a w... |
