| amp hiss impact on speakers @millercarbonRoom correction or anything else you mentioned does nothing to get rid of the hiss from the speakers. What will a sub do to get rid of the hiss when it’s coming from the tweeters? Is the person running tube electronics, if so, that is... | |
| amp hiss impact on speakers Wait- what? So you mean REL can't cure cancer??? 😩 | |
| amp hiss impact on speakers Even small amounts of endless hiss can build up and potentially eventually heat soak the magnet resulting in loss of gaussian electromotive force and melt the voice coil if continued long enough. Unless ribbons, they simply melt. The solution is a... | |
| Old school vs new school audio??? See what I mean? | |
| Old school vs new school audio??? I came out of that same era, heard a lot of that same stuff, even pursued your same course for a while. At one point even hunted down a pair of K-horns to audition. More than once. So I totally get where you’re coming from. Thing of it is, I waste... | |
| Old school vs new school audio??? You got a number of things going on here that are contributing to your dissatisfaction. Or should I say preventing your satisfaction? While McIntosh are generally better than Yamaha, separates are always better than receivers, so that is a top co... | |
| Salamander Archetype: Can they be "bridged" together? Easily- unless you want the shelves to be the same level.The easy way would be to join them with the left and right side shelves sharing the same two middle legs. These racks are nothing more than shelves with four holes for threaded rods with nut... | |
| Conflicting impedance specs for Definitive Technology Demand D9 speakers Funny you mention, according to some here I must have burned down my house, and probably the whole neighborhood, several times now based on the stuff I've done. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367That one innocent looking picture of a simple... | |
| Turntable question The Linn will probably be noticeably better. But turntables are so idiosyncratic that listening is the only way to know for sure. For most people that is the challenge, but you have them sitting right there so no excuses, why ask when you can find... | |
| Happy Scale When my father-in-laws ancient cheap stereo broke I decided to get him a new one for Christmas. With only a $1200 budget all-in we got a changer, integrated, bookshelf speakers, speaker cables, interconnect, power cord, and Cones for everything. W... | |
| OMG, just removed my speaker grills and the sound just opened up to a new level! Welcome to Audiogon, where its April Fool's all day, every day, 24/7/365. Trying to come up with an April Fool's joke here is like trying to parody a liberal. Just give up. Can't be done. Don't even try. And even if you do, no one will get it anyway. | |
| Does this happen often? I know. Can you believe??! Just assume for a moment, purely for the sake of the argument, assume that is correct. Every time we listen to something different it takes our ears and brains a while to get used to it. Every time we hear something new... | |
| How does music tastes differ from country to county? Music varies by region. Here in Seattle and the PNW in general its all Gospel music. Well except for Portland, where its all 80's. 1880's. Los Angeles is heavily classical, except the hip hop community inexplicably goes almost entirely small ensem... | |
| Does this happen often? So much talent. Of which there was a lot back then. So much so it was taken for granted, even dismissed as cliche for a time. So that when Michael Fremer referred to Torme as the velvet fog, he hastened to add that he meant that as a compliment. A... | |
| OMG, just removed my speaker grills and the sound just opened up to a new level! Amazing how after decades in audio still there are new discoveries to be made. |
