| Subwoofer advice sought @big_greg I have not heard a DBA system and I was really commenting on the first response to the post stating: Low bass improves the sense of envelopement, feeling like you are in the soundstage instead of it being just in front of you. I thi... | |
| 12 years or 18 years? As a child in my cradle the nurse from her ladle Was swillin’ her mouth with a notion of ``Pep’’ When a drop from her bottle fell into me throttle. I capered and scrambled right out of her lap. On the floor I lay crawlin’ and screamin’ and bawlin’... | |
| Unusual(?) spade connection Bi-wire and shotgun were the first two things I tried that convinced me to look deeper into wire. This was decades ago, back when I was using ordinary hookup wire. So it cost next to nothing to try. (Even then I was so cheap- did I really want to ... | |
| Daisy chain another subwoofer Only thing I can think of that might be a problem is if one of the subs plugs into another circuit. They must all plug into the same circuit or you risk ground loop hum. Other than that you should be fine, and the more subs the better. | |
| Unusual(?) spade connection @ millercarbon - Good to know the spade thing will work.Why is bi-wire a bad idea? Not so much bad as poor use of funds. If you have bi-wire use it. Where it becomes a bad idea is going bi-wire. For any given amount of money you can always get be... | |
| Daisy chain another subwoofer Yes. You can also connect one to the L channel, the other to R. They're the same signal, won't make any difference SQ-wise, so do whichever is easier. | |
| New old or old new? Right. Can we all just get along?Everyone knows old Klipschorns with a new Raven amp is better than new Wilsons with an old Dynaco. Its true for sound quality. Its true for resale. | |
| Very basic subwoofer question Bass is/can be directional. Someone here mentioned, it’s the fundamental AND the overtones that give bass directionalityClearing up confusion- low bass is not directional. Lab tests prove that when the frequency is low enough the sound cannot even... | |
| Seems like a lot of folks are putting their Primaluna amps for sale... Same thing happened in 08. Suddenly all kinds of high end luxury goods went on fire sale. Snap em up while you can. The Fed is flooding the zone with so much fiat its only a matter of time. | |
| Envy audio cables That's an awful lot of also-rans. When you are done flipping and ready for something satisfyingly good enough to keep you might want to consider whatever Synergistic is within your budget. They are for some reason considered expensive. Never have ... | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? A lot of the stuff people believe about power makes an awful lot of sense. The only problem is that while the reasons make sense on paper they don't work out nearly so well in the real world. Point of order: one low-powered amp that sounds better ... | |
| Not much talk about Yamaha turntables. Not much talk about Yamaha turntables.The first rule of Yamaha turntables is nobody talks about Yamaha turntables. | |
| Integrated amplifier help What an absolute ugly brick of an amp. When I found the absolute sound review thought at first it was some awful AVR or something. Then I saw $25k! Seriously?!?!? Oh well...For less than half that you could have more than twice that, and with out ... | |
| WHO are some good loudspeaker upgraders and refurbishers? But I’d like to find an expert to upgrade the crossover, speaker terminations and l-pads. Find an expert? Why?? The crossover upgrade will consist out of swapping out a handful of caps and resistors, soldering them together with some fresh wire if... | |
| Vinyl News "Cutting" grooves. You got to love the way the Times is so cluelessly triggered they put scare quotes around cutting. I did get a kick out of the writer being impressed with "mined silver for extra purity." Not your regular old copper or silver th... |
