| Best room treatment Synergistic HFT are far more effective than old-school acoustic panels. I know. I have extensive experience with both. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 | |
| OK here is the challenge for you I think you should try again, this time with a spreadsheet asking for systems at every price point $1k to $5k, and also for tube, SS, analog, and digital, and also for listening room, bedroom, car and RV- oh and dorm room too of course. I'm sure y... | |
| Integrated Tube Amps with Subwoofer out? This is a non-issue. There’s two simple solutions. Easiest is a LOC or Line Out Converter. Next easiest is to modify your integrated. The mod costs about $2 total for 4 resistors and can be seen in its entirety here. https://systems.audiogon.com/s... | |
| Used speaker for 5K Why must it be used? New Tekton Moabs are perfectly priced and impossible to beat without at least double the budget. As for break-in, read my review. They sound great right out of the box! Absolutely great. They do get even better, but only over ... | |
| Empty canvas: recommendations on blending audio and moving watching This is what you do. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367You can have TV instead of projection. You run the sound right into the amp. Simple. I watch most movies off my laptop, but regardless of source its all the same, you keep the video and... | |
| Vertical tracking force for Lyra etna lambda sl catridge VTF is widely misunderstood. Its not about stylus wear. Its about positioning the coils within the magnetic field. That is why its a range. The correct procedure is to set vtf somewhere within the range and listen. Then adjust one way or the other... | |
| Been playing CD's to long Actually its "cassette, or records..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf5XgkG0JfI | |
| The best speakers over 50K I understand your question, and it is interesting, but who would equate $$ with "good?"Lots of people. Once you start measuring things in terms of arbitrary fiat units created from nothing its only one small step to fantasy posts equating the mean... | |
| Good CDs to Test Your System There aren't any. LP. Records. Now you're talking. | |
| Detecting differences among cables Its all down to your listening skills. I don't need any special tracks, don't even need to repeat the same track. Volume level isn't that important, nor is familiarity with the system. Cables (and components in general) sound like what they sound ... | |
| A long harsh digital trip - final meter? Same unfounded misconceptions people have about AC power. What makes you think the last meter is any different than any other? What reason would you possibly have to think anything is being "revived"? How would that even be possible? Eh? | |
| How to physically move large heavy 100lb amplifiers easily (up and downstairs) A keg is a lot bigger and heavier than an amp, and we were able to carry one cross-country with two people just about any distance over just about any terrain. We took an empty 50 lb onion or potato sack and stuck a dowel (broom stick) through eac... | |
| Discernment is bad. Self awareness is good. To discern is to be able to tell the difference. If its bad to discern, that's saying its bad to make any judgments whatsoever. Everything is just all the same.And yet at the same time self-awareness is good. But self-awareness is nothing more tha... | |
| System Plateau - Ideas? Overall very nice, but I feel I’m missing a bit of “edge”.When listening to someone standing right in front of you talking, do you feel you are missing a bit of an "edge"? Just how much of "a bit of an edge" do you hear in real live music? My bet ... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world As I've said elsewhere, if only everyone simply believed in education and experience sharing without attacks or the need for everyone to agree on various opinions/perspectives the site would be a lot more useful (and sustainable).Imagine there's n... |
