| Novice here looking for insight on equipment ive aquired So I looked up one or two just to confirm what I thought. What I would do, sell the Aragon amp. Might be able to get a couple hundred for it. Maybe. Whatever. Reason you sell it, a) its the only thing worth selling and b) its an odd duck. You have... | |
| Love it when it snows Yes the idea of a universe that is finite and unbounded is a bit hard to grasp. Its kind of like this. Look out in any direction, any direction at all, the view is exactly the same. We appear to be right smack dab in the middle of it all. Which we... | |
| Wells Audio Majestic (no HT Bypass) vs. Integrated w/ HT Bypass - Help! If I'm playing a movie through my AVR, won't the AVR need to be connected to the integrated so that the movie's audio makes it the L/R speakers?Yes. But that's exactly what I told you NOT to do.Movies, whether from CD, or Blu-Ray, or laptop, whate... | |
| Your opinions about KOETSU URUSHI BLUE or VERMILLION Rather than spitting hairs among Koetsu's I would be casting a wider net and looking at the Hyperion from Soundsmith. As long as you're in that price range. Same or more output, half the moving mass, lifetime stylus replacement, best warranty in t... | |
| How much will you pay for an exotic cartridge.... So, my question is this..how much will you pay for that exotic cartridge to insure that you are buying it from a "legit" US repThat's easy: Zero! But then I have been doing this a long time, and been privy to the realities of wholesale/retail mark... | |
| Love it when it snows You misunderstand, MC. It is my area. I was being tactful. 🤗 I give you an A for enthusiasm, though.Okay. Fair enough. However since you’ve just cast aspersions its only fair you give us a reason. Tell you what. Help me get better. Find just one t... | |
| Build My Own Room Treatments Its not that hard. Learn a few very important but simple things and the rest you can DIY every bit as good as the pros.One of the first things to learn is the frequency of the sound you want to control determines the wavelength which in turn deter... | |
| Love it when it snows Sorry, MC, I cannot vouch for that. Not your area. I understand. Fascinated me since childhood. Oh well. Easy enough for people to look it up and see. If they don’t want to take my word for it. Which they shouldn’t. Even though its all crazy true.... | |
| Love it when it snows to what did the universe expand from? I never studied astrophysics so I’m always fascinated by the subject so I’m being sincere here. What do astrophysicists teach in regards to before the bang. I recommend you read Stephen Hawking's A Brief Histo... | |
| The Modern DAC killed High Resolution Music - has Stereophile proven it? Delta is change. Close the delta means ceased to change.Did you really mean to say DAC's have stopped changing? Or was it just something you thought it would be cool to type? Closed the delta. I must admit, it does sound pretty cool. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0 Have not compared. Did a lot of due diligence before buying the Herron late 2018. ModWright wasn't even on the list. Did not go looking for it specifically. Was not even on the radar.Now with a year plus on the Herron, totally unreservedly wholehe... | |
| Wells Audio Majestic (no HT Bypass) vs. Integrated w/ HT Bypass - Help! Um, no, do not use AVR pre-out. It will work. But it will be sending the signal through the worst component you have (AVR) into the best.What you will find is the sound with that integrated (either one, ANY integrated!) is so much better than AVR ... | |
| Listening for Proper VTA Setting Recording doesn’t matter. You can set VTA just fine with anything. For years I was the guy who fine tunes VTA for every record, writes it on the sleeve, then sets it every time. Every new record I would tweak VTA. Its really not that hard. Once yo... | |
| Pre amp Upgrade with current system I would like to achieve an increase in volume only in the highest end of the spectrum which we call Brilliance.I find it works much better to look only for components that are really good. As a consequence of that its just never in 30 years been n... | |
| Love it when it snows So in consequence of that, the complete annihilation in a timing fashion, in a timelike manner, the absolute disappearance of anything, makes absolutely no sense at all.Behold:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMRrCYPxD0I |
