| Do speakers take time to warm up? Don't know for sure. If you're serious though then you should know there's a range of things that do affect performance and do result in needing some time to settle before returning to equilibrium, ie peak performance. Moving wires around. The mo... | |
| Tweaks that work? (yes very subjective topic) So I wanted to put this out here to the group and I am hoping for a detailed response from @millercarbon. Thanks. My system page is chock full of them. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367Your Butcher Block stuff looks pretty good. But if you... | |
| Tube Rolling Nice amp by the way, very similar to mine. I change tubes when they blow, start acting up (funny noises) or sometimes just when they're very old. One set went a good 3 years, maybe 4, in my Melody. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 That o... | |

| Best debut album The problem with Boston, its too perfect. Rock needs to have at least a few rough edges here and there. Boston is so finely crafted it puts Aja to shame. I am of course being sarcastic. Wish I'd thought of it. | |
| Home theater couch? I’ve shopped extensively for furniture. Its a wasteland of over-stuffed crap designed by people who never have to sit in the stuff but only care how it looks to women who read magazines backwards. Don’t even try and say that’s not funny. You know ... | |
| What is up with Audio Research during the pandemic? The CDC just published a report showing the fatality rate is a low 0.4%, and that is one of the higher reported findings. Some reliable studies are showing half that, 0.2%, only about as bad as the flu. Digging in deeper, it varies from study to s... | |
| Are tubes really “warm”? I now believe that good body, tone richness and a good sense of dimension to stereo sound stage illusion images are more a function of the qualities of the music, the quality of the recording and the quality of the reproduction system as a whole r... | |
| Directionality Explained heaudio123- Our audible ability is poor for certain types of differences. Except where large resistance, capacitance or inductance are brought into play significantly impacting frequency response, and/or volume balance, there is little (almost non... | |

| Sub 1k integrated? Okay well then you are on the right track. Except I would be looking at only pure integrated amps- no receiver, no DAC. Especially no DAC. The life span of anything digital is measured in dog years, one year in analog/tube years is five years digi... |
