| why a 75 dollar blue ray smokes all 2k CD players and any turntable??? my response was basically its all up for debate and in many ways digital is superior on paperMany things are superior.... on paper. "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." Clearly superior.... on paper.PS- Love the ... | |
| Turntable upgrade I would if possible prefer to lease them out.If the cartridge looks good, it is. Impossible to give other advice without knowing what "ripped the counterweight off" means. A lot of them slide off pretty easily. If you just want a better arm why no... | |
| I am indecisive about choice due to room size You can toss all the above bad advice. Some of it is outright plain wrong. Adding bass for example is exactly what you need. Your biggest problem is not size but being square, 12x12. But 16x16x8 would be bigger but at least as bad. Simplistic thin... | |
| Filter capacitance-how does it relate to amplifier performance? OP, you ask logical enough questions. Except it doesn’t exactly work quite the way you think. There’s two main ideas behind power supplies. The first one is the one people tend to get fixated on, power. To a certain extent this does work. Amps wit... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Mine is used for both. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 As impressive as it is with music, where it provides truly superb quality bass, its maybe even more impressive with movies because they tend to have a lot more powerful earth-shatter... | |
| Own many mid-game speakers or a few end-game speakers. If I had $60k to spend on any speakers I wanted, I would give Eric a call and ask how good he can build me for that budget or less. It would probably wind up being a pair of all-Be Ulfberhts. But he is working on something better so you never know... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? What a bunch of baloney. Wait a minute. Wait just a doggone minute. The man clearly said: "it is my experience that even then we hear not photonically but statistically." You call that baloney? Word salad, I say! | |
| Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system? No such thing as a receiver that is high end. They are all pure crap. But you don't need a receiver. All you need is a tuner. FM tuners, no problem. Lots to choose from. But they will be nice sounding analog, not digital. Unless of course the stat... | |
| Reviews on JungSon amp/preamp combo: JA-1/JA-99C Also bought a power conditioner. Sound was okay, construction extremely cheap, really nothing more than a potted transformer and cap. So I tossed the outlets and crap chassis and still use the guts of it today. Then there were a couple of intercon... | |
| Best room treatment The worse the room, the greater the advantages of the Swarm. Do that first, then wait and see. Odds are you won't need any bass traps. As for panels, find a local hardware store that will sell you a couple sheets of Owens Corning 703 insulating p... | |
| Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? For going on 30 years my reference standard for cones and footers was Black Diamond Racing. Still love the Shelf and Round Things, but almost all the Cones have been removed for Nobsound springs. The springs do require some adjustment. The sound ... | |
| Second hand vinyl surface damage. If you want clean records, highly recommend Walker Enzyme. Tom Port recommended it to me, its all they use at Better Records, and it is clearly obviously easily superior to the Disc Doctor system I was using before. I don't use his expensive final... | |
| ...take 1 CD LP or 1 digital music recording to test a new audiophile friend's system... I don't bring anything to "test" anyone's anything. I listen to what they have. Only times I ever brought anything was either a) way back in the beginning when I was still wet behind the ears clueless or b) once I had been a few times, knew what t... | |
| Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? Took me a while to catch onto mahgister, but once I did my understanding of what he calls "embeddings" is correct and proven by being exactly what I have been doing because it works, for going on 3 decades now. The things we’re talking about, we r... | |
| has anyone tried chinese cables? With six you get egg roll. |
