New to preamp amp, turning on question
If I turn off the amp while it is working and wait few mins and turn it back on, the sound comes instantaneously. It’s only that if the entire system is off (for few hours) and I just turn it on, the sound doesn’t come for 1-3 mins until I hear a ... 
JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies?
This may be a situation where the speakers are exciting the walls in your low ceiling apartment, in other words its the room acoustics doing the shouting. You could check this by setting the system up outdoors or in another room and compare. In an... 
The Room
At one point I had 2 pairs of the same speakers. One set up in the very large, lively, and open ceiling living room. The other in my carpeted and acoustically treated listening room. Yes the electronics were different, but nowhere near enough to a... 
Stereophile complains it's readers are too informed.
I believe standards are real,, but I will not mention any product names. SEAS is The Gold Standard. Scan Speak and SB are excellent, but I will not mention any product names.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sghncnGkFAo

Stereophile complains it's readers are too informed.
Agreed cleeds, intresting to see people “translate” what is said, into what they want it to say. I believe that’s actually the point of that last paragraph. That some people are using what they say and post, in a way that was not said, nor meant. ... 
Inner tracks vs outer tracks

Anybody want a laugh?
Its very rare for Ted to have anything that’s not a) incredibly effective and b) good value for money. My system is treated with HFT, ECT and PHT, all of which bear some similarity to the new ART. https://highend-electronics.com/products/synergist...

What was it tipped you off? 
Just starting out and need advise for sub woofer connection
Sub placement with just one sub is so crucial (read: difficult) because of room modes. Moving the sub location around moves the modes around but does nothing to alter the fact of having those same few mode areas. Modes being areas where the bass r... 
Tubes, to damp or not to damp?
Tried Herbies. Strangles the life sounds about right to me. A much better approach would be to try fO.q tape. Not directly on the tube, they probably get too hot. But on the cover near the tube. Or on the caps inside. Have not tried it in those lo...
