| Subwoofer Causing Amp to Stay On Are these the kind of subs that turn on automatically when they detect a signal? Or do you have to turn them on and off manually every time? | |
| Seasoning your sound with powercords Looscannon, 24 posts, been a member for 3 days, no virtual system? Speechless is a good stance to keep.Classic. Can we pin this to the top of every thread? | |
| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k Didn't even know there were any good ones for under $15k? | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? When I worked High end audio or audio at all, I always fully entertained those who had not the cash. Even the teen kids. No problem. They’ll be back, if you treat people right. One must always look good in their minds. They all eventually find the... | |
| Balanced circuits vs. placebo inputs and outputs but no balanced circuits Yes but on the other hand anyone sucked into the hype of balanced deserves whatever they get. | |
| Time for a (reasonably priced) phono preamp... Not being in the market for a budget phono stage I have no opinion on what to get. But being a very long term user I know it can sometimes seem like its old gear when really its just old connections. I would at a minimum disconnect everything in t... | |
| How to divide up your budget in building a 2-Channel HiFi system Mv, I think it depends on the way you plan on approaching this endeavor. Exactly. The budgeting I just did is for "one and done". Inevitably everyone winds up somewhere down the line wanting more. The smart thing is to see this coming early on. Th... | |
| How to divide up your budget in building a 2-Channel HiFi system As a fun exercise and assuming you had a $20k budget how would you break that up in building your system? Goal would be to optimize realism and expanded sound stage. If that really is the goal then why did you put the irrelevant pre-amp/amp, DAC a... | |
| Expanding questions about tubes in a preamp So just putting some rubber rings (O-Rings) picked up at a local hardware store would not be a good idea - or is it just again an experiment worth trying?Better than paying for Herbies. I would try one per tube that fits snug (not real tight) and ... | |

There are also those who are happy to make money selling them to you. We have all kinds here.My... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? What a stupid post anyway inferring that people that listen to digital aren’t audiophiles. I was once digital only for a few years and was just as much of an audiophile then as I am now. Yes and that is the thing about audiophiles. Most people thi... | |
| Will this amp trick work for increasing bass performance? If bass is your goal you will get much better results with a $3k DBA than any amount of money you can throw at any amp the way you're thinking. Period. Full stop. Not even close. End of story.Sorry, I can see you have preemptively ruled out the o... | |
| Are Speakers Like Cask-Conditioned Beer? Color me jealous. Freaking, freaking jealous. There is nothing in this world like a freshly tapped high quality cask ale. The combination of the beer and the fresh live yeast is like drinking a loaf of bread fresh out of the oven. By drink I meant... | |

| Power Cords, Too thin The higher the voltage the smaller the gauge to carry the same total amount of power. This is why the car battery cable is so thick, because at only 12V it must be to carry many amps. If the same car was 220V the same wire could be super thin. So ... |
