| Think fast: What would you take? There was a nonsense "what would you take" thread a while back. But that one was clearly out there fantasy. The minute you invoke Portland however this is no fantasy. If its true you shouldn't be joking about it. If its not you really shouldn't be... | |
| Does solar + battery installation improve sound quality vs "the grid"? There's a decent amount of improvement to be had running off batteries. But only if running directly off batteries, and only while the battery system is off-line. Otherwise if any part of the system remains connected to AC, via the charging system... | |
| Springs under turntable Great work here on tuning these things. Definitely not a case of plop em down and all is well. Have tried half a dozen springs now, plus variations, all were much better in at least some ways but it takes some work to get the most out of them. Ric... | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg Sad news, indeed. But look at the outpouring of respect, camaraderie and friendship in honor of a life well-lived. And still around, and what this shows, always will be. | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world What I like about the above quotes, mitch2 took the time to find them, read them, think enough to understand what might be of particular value, then cut and paste here with a link. Sweet. | |
| Springs under turntable The most dramatic difference was under my Herron phono stage. This is with the extra springs removed from the set under the turntable. I cut some MDF pucks out with a hole saw, drilled out 1/8" deep holes 1/4" in diameter and stick em together jus... | |
| What is missing here? I ALWAYS read the component’s specs, although I knew it was a low powered SET amp.The specs section is not really where most readers are going to look Amazingly, the second post followed immediately after the first. Almost as if, who cares how obv... | |
| Are systems genre dependent? Just, that for ultimate performance systems do vary in presentation.What do you think? I think yes of course they do. But not because they should, but because they fall short. There's every bit as much need for extension, dynamics, and thunder... | |
| O.k after making some adjustments the sound is off the charts.This is BIG. What this shows, you simply cannot parody an audiophile. They already are. | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world atmasphere nailed it. But at this point anyone shouting fix the room or ya need bass "management" (whatever that is) is simply not paying attention. Its like there's still guys saying cables are tone controls, fuses don't make any difference, etc.... | |
| TV Mounted above fireplace mantel - neck strain? Depends on your situation. If you're watching leaning back so your head is at a comfortable angle then probably fine. You just want to avoid looking up, as anything the least bit uncomfortable for a short time can annoy over time. Unless you get u... | |
| O.k after making some adjustments the sound is off the charts.This is BIG. Chuck here and what Sam has discovered is the vestigial remnant of the Mothership that first came to Earth and forgot to come back for the landing party. They were forced to intermingle their DNA with ours, traces are still there, one of them bein... | |
| Internal Wire Upgrade for SME V All my experience with DIY wire is it always seems like a good deal but never even comes close to professionally made. I would either skip it or go with Origin Live which at least I can be certain will sound amazing. | |
| What is missing here? daveyf:Except, nowhere ( except in the specs section) does it mention that this amp is limited to 9Watts/Ch!!I see. So the whole specs section is "nowhere"? And here I was thinking I must be the most derisive of anyone here when it comes to specs.... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Duke has a really good post somewhere that addresses a lot of these same questions. Easiest way to find it is just look through all posts by audiokinesis. For myself, I think you answered your own question. why would anyone buy a single JL or REL... |
