| misbehaving A308CR CD player Open it up and clean the optics. If that sounds scary there are CDs with little carbon fiber brushes they seem to work pretty good. If that doesn't solve it then rather than repair send it out for mods that will greatly improve performance for not... | |
| Watts and power I'm not really asking about differences between Class D, A, or AB so much as I am asking about how can you tell the POWER an amp has from the specs? Long story short, you can't. Its not only Class A, etc, but even among amps within the same class.... | |
| Seating height and bass Everybody has this problem, because every room has this problem, because sound waves interact with each other and with the room to reinforce or cancel and this happens in all three dimensions not only the two everyone talks about.The most efficien... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? $4.99 for 20???!?!?! Total ripoff!$1.79 for 25!https://www.acehardware.com/departments/building-supplies/gates-and-fences/electric-fence-parts/7191... | |
| More questions about dedicated lines Much like everything else, the only way to really know is to try and listen. Standard audiophile practice is to change only one thing, since if you change several things at once its impossible to know what did what.Logically then it is at least un... | |
| dedicated line=holes in the drywall? Poorly worded and unclear to the max. The wire has to get to the system somehow. If it doesn't go through sheetrock then it goes through floor. The usual procedure, what I did, is from the panel go either down under the floor or up into the attic.... | |
| Recording Quality So, given the playback equipment you have, can you tell that one recording was made better than others in the studio?Not quite the right question. But I get your drift.Its not a question of the playback equipment. I proved this to my wife when we ... | |
| New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps? Millercarbon: wow touched a nerve, eh. You did not address my questions though. After just two years the GT40 engine was determined illegal by the FIA, so Ford pulled out. Where is the FIA based? Europe, where P and F cars are made. Why didn’t the... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? Thus the famous J Gordon Holt quote:Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled signals yearning to be free! | |
| Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand? Of course. Even older is better. The best were made by Technics in 1983. Those had perfect sound forever. | |
| Subwoofer recommendation for swarm I`ve been using the Dayton SA 1000 subwoofer amp for a few years now powering a Revel sub.The sub has a 15" woofer in it. I`d like to do a swarm but still use the Revel.Is that feasable ?Sure is. I'm using 2 Daytons to drive 4 Morel 10" subs. Two... | |
| New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps? "It is the essence of the human spirit to seek a reason for being.""This is why functional designs are so beautiful, so calming."This is beyond racing. This is beyond cars. This is Porsche.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOE9mNe5c7M | |
| New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps? A question to the Porschephiles:Why didn’t they go head to head with the Ford GT40 way back or more recently, the Audi R10 diesel? Instead they go to LMP2? Really? They always wimp out against dominating competition. They make great cars no doubt,... | |
| Novice question Something else will be better. Your best price/performance in your range will be with a turntable, integrated (not a receiver, an integrated amp) with built-in phono stage, speaker cables, and interconnects. Your Advents are a bit of a problem as ... | |
| Hi-Rez Audio Distinguished in Blind Testing What I find interesting is its digital, and so they used noise:Specifically, they used two forms of spectrally "flat" signals: white noise and (Gaussian) impulse signals. Its digital. So of course they listen to noise. Was there ever any choice? T... |
