| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. There really is no difference in terms of pure performance. For every $2500 or whatever on a cart you can find $2500 in a turntable that will be a virtual tie in delivering sound quality. Where the difference comes in is over the long term. Your $... | |
| Hopelessly Confused Lots of bells and whistles but at the end of the day all I really want is to eek out as much sonic bliss from my speakers as possible. Am I on the right track or have I missed the boat again? Missed the boat. Bells and whistles and sonic bliss are... | |
| Looking for new speakers See my Tekton Moab thread. You don't have enough budget to do any better without going to Encore or Ulfberht. Which you are welcome to do. Double Impacts will be better in every way than your Thiels. Moabs are considerably better than Double Impac... | |
| Your vote for greatest (covers) album Jenny sings Lenny is indeed the greatest covers album of all time. Not even Holly Cole Temptation can touch it. | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. How much difference does a turntable really make compared to the cartridge? A lot.Will I hear a significant difference if I upgraded my turntable and kept the same cartridge? Yes.Isn’t the cartridge 90%+ of the sound from a vinyl setup?Yes. It is.... | |
| Do you really use the formula for speaker placement? The one algorithm that is absolute garbage is the hokey Master Set where the goal is supposed to be to get your speakers cockeyed just the right amount to sound equally crappy from everywhere in the room. Of course they spend 5 pages detailing exa... | |
| Looking for a speaker cable with a relaxed sound. Cables are no different when it comes to system synergy. You need to balance everything out.Not like that. If something is too forward, bright, rolled off, dull- you name it, whatever, does not matter - you suck it up. You live with it. Make the b... | |
| Where has been your most effective placement for an aftermarket fuse? I must admit there are a few things I have done regarding audio besides just fuses that have made a clearly audible change without an easily explained rationale.Tell me about it. | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? Looking forward to that being next in line for the Moabs. | |
| I think some cables are just a little too expensive. Where is the contradiction? What is the lie? | |
| What is the Best power cable for the Soulutions 540 CD player Has nothing to do with the CD player. Has everything to do with you. Buy your power cord same as any other component. It is, after all. | |
| purchasing US made speakers I bought a speaker not auditioned in my own room. Not auditioned by me in any room. Its the best speaker I ever heard in my life! Its everything I had come to expect from reading reviews, impressions, and design theory. Only better. The old advice... | |
| Looking for a speaker cable with a relaxed sound. What makes you so sure its the speakers that are the problem? Or more to the point, that laid back cables are the solution? Buying one thing with a problem trying to offset another thing with a problem has never seemed a good solution to me. Only ... | |
| I think some cables are just a little too expensive. No speaker "needs" that cable. If you listen and compare and feel its worth it, its worth it. What more is there to it than that? | |
| Do you really use the formula for speaker placement? There are two main aspects to speaker placement with just two speakers- bass response and imaging. As usual its a trade off. Closer to walls improves bass. But closer to walls brings more early reflections which harms imaging. So its a trade off ... |
