| Most enduring audio purchase Most enduring? I can still remember my roommate Doug relentlessly squeezing my Zerostat as if it was one of those hand grip strength exercise spring things. I kept yelling at him to knock it off that things expensive while at the same time wonderi... | |
| Nordost Valhalla vs. SR Atmosphere Euphoria speaker cables I have Euphoria Level 3 and it is absolutely superb, but have not directly compared with those others. Honestly not even sure if its better than Galileo, or if so by how much. I suspect it is, based solely on the newest generation always out perfo... | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? Records. Mine were dubbed to my 10.5" Pioneer RTR. My roommate did the same with his smaller Sony RTR. Normally I would have reels of whole album dubs, and then make reels of cuts for different styles. This being WSU years there would be tapes for... | |
| Home theater bypass - pass through question I went through a phase doing this, until I figured out the little bit you gain with surround is nowhere near worth the sacrifice in 2ch quality. Get four good subs and never look back. | |
| Raven Audio Corvus Tower System speakers - An owners perspective Wow sad to hear, hope its temporary and you regain your vision. Guys like you who have heard a lot of the highest caliber gear in person are few and far between. Your reviews as an owner really helped focus my attention on Raven. Hope you recover,... | |
| Raven Audio Corvus Tower System speakers - An owners perspective https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcd76DZmbdYWhoa! Now I REALLY want one! | |
| Raven Audio Corvus Tower System speakers - An owners perspective A great video that everyone should see, even if not interested in Raven. Because really he is talking about the economics of small run high end audio production. This is something I looked into years ago doing due diligence research because I was ... | |
| Full Range speakers for a living space You can power four subs from one amp, and wire only needs to be ordinary 14ga. Run the wire from one to the next, series or parallel depending on the impedance you're after. Its what I did. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 | |
| Raven Audio Corvus Tower System speakers - An owners perspective I've ordered Tekton Moabs. Since I'm sure my next amp will be a Raven I called to ask them about it. They've run Moabs at shows and said go 4 ohms. Then I asked about the Reflection, and to my surprise was told the Osprey gives it a run for its mo... | |
| carbon nanotube tech still not more conductive than copper Hey been researching CNT and find that no one has gotten the tech down for CNT to be a superconductor as for use a a wire. I see numbers on the order of 15-20 % of copper. So how can a manufacturer say they have a better conductor when it’s not pe... | |
| Full Range speakers for a living space Why do you think full range speakers are necessary? You'll get better bass response with several subs in a DBA. These can be almost any size or shape, including ones that will fit under or behind furniture. With several subs placement can be almos... | |
| Raven Audio Corvus Tower System speakers - An owners perspective I am getting this amazing sound with a 4K, 20 Watt, tube integrated. Yes but not "a" $4k tube integrated but the Raven Blackhawk, one of the very best tube integrated amps. | |
| Build or buy, speaker options Lots of things can be DIY, but only a very few DIY can be done as cost-effectively as buying. Equipment racks and stands, because the best ones are massive you have an edge in cost over shipping. Acoustic panels, the raw materials are so dirt chea... | |
| Why no Virtual System pics?? What's with the collection of tube boxes? I mean I keep spares too, but....! | |
| Sound, neutrality and the pursuit of everything The audiophile hobby is inherently a pursuit of some ideal. That ideal might differ from person to person, but what I am curious about is how each of us define that ideal. I kinda like where my system is at. I cue a well recorded track and think: ... |
