| Really need some help finding a full range speaker I suggest looking at the AudioKinesis Swarm Subwoofer System, which is not expensive for what you get. It is much easier to find speakers that sound great from about 50Hz and up but getting those lower octaves to sound right from your main sp... | |
| What are the most used terms that say the least in the "High-End"? Double-blind | |
| What speaker has the best high frequencies? Tastes vary, but I would say it would have to be the one playing Jennifer Warnes. | |
| New speaker day - Tekton Enzo 2.7 review Wonderful stuff. When I was reading all the typical 'sounds great' comments at first I thought yeah right here we go again. Because we all know an awful lot of guys get sucked into whatever's new and flashy and more often than not it turns out mer... | |
| Is there an ideal (ish) cartridge output? Yeah, I actually think the two most important specs in all of audio are cartridge output and speaker sensitivity. They are like two sides of the same coin. If the speakers put out at least 90 dB then finding a good amp is easy because just about a... | |
| Educate me about gain and amp/preamp matching I’m actually surprised that the input gain of a preamp doesn’t really effect the output signal gain of the amp. I thought it would be additive or multiplicative (if that’s a word). Can someone explain why that is? Amplifiers are fixed. All an ... | |
| What is the order of importance of the parts of an analogue rig? Where can you get the most improvement from a change in one category? From whichever one is the worst. Sorry, but its true. And I know, from having done. I’ve actually built and upgraded and modified each and every one of the things you mention. ... | |
| New speaker day - Tekton Enzo 2.7 review The first thing that stood out was the midrange: it was huge, but not in your face, blown out of proportion kind of way, it just had more presence and scope. It (midrange) doesn’t sound warm or syrupy, or compressed, but rather very fast, neutr... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? The same box Porsche use in their auto shift units. Uh, no. You didn't. Not PDK. Tiptronic, maybe. But the mere fact you say "auto shift units" tells me you don't even know the difference. | |
| Educate me about gain and amp/preamp matching everything sounds superb, ...but ... the Quads need more than 50w of power to perform their best. Clearly not. | |
| Sam here again.Is new remastered vinyl fake vinyl? guitarsam: I grew up on vintage vinyl and I loved that sound, however I haven’t owned a turntable in 20 years Sorry, Sam, but I’m just not buying it. Because if you really "loved that sound" then you would simply go out and buy it. From your loc... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? This is how silly your overall position is, and even bringing Porschephile into the discussion. What exactly does that mean?Its not silly at all. If you would just for one moment open your closed mind and consider, Porschephile and audiophile are... | |
| Looking for phono preamp suggestions All of us with the Herron are extremely pleased. Depth, separation and sound stage are superb. Sweetness, magic and romance however are relative. I would call it neutral, in the best sense of the word. Warm, rich, natural. You may want to look at ... | |
| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? Also a bass array can be 4 or more small 8" or even 6" subs small enough to fit easily under or around furniture. Placement is far less crucial and if the bass needs to be turned down because of neighbors its a lot easier to live with since its so... | |
| Betonart Audio Arrivato Speakers...Cabinets made of Cast Concrete!.. Cast concrete technology has come so far that Wilson and Focal were both looking into it. And, rumor has it, Revel and B&W. But they all dropped the idea upon learning the speaker cabinets would have to be 100 inches thick in order to meet the... |
