| How to get my power cord priorities right system wise Right. Buy one, try it on everything. This is in fact a very good thing to do every time, at least until you've done it enough to have a feel for it. Bear in mind that no matter what anyone else says only you can decide what really works best.As f... | |
| Cartridge upgrade for vintage TT - MM or MC? Here's your problem: The midrange is nice but the treble in particular is lacking. Compared to my digital source it sounds dull and lifeless Enjoy the midrange. At this extreme budget end of analog you should be happy the midrange is nice. Last... | |
| For HDTV to Integrated Amp For 2 Main Speakers & 2 Subs, Optical Cable Is Fine? The information you found is fine so far as it goes. When concerned with sound quality however you must always keep in mind that everything matters. Not just optical, not just HDMI, but everything- and the only way to know for sure is to listen an... | |
| Audio Kinesis Swarm Subwoofer Awarded 2019 Golden Ear Award by Robert E. Greene Well first it was special, now its unique. The award and thread is for recognizing a quality product. I'll post the excerpt since you seem not to have read it: "redefines the boundaries of the possible in my experience in correct reproduction of ... | |
| Audio Kinesis Swarm Subwoofer Awarded 2019 Golden Ear Award by Robert E. Greene Right. Anyone willing to learn can do this with any sub woofers. Anyone willing to learn can also DIY their own, which is what I did. Which, as far as I can tell, almost no one does.There seems to be hardly anyone who even acknowledges the superio... | |
| Phono Pre Upgrade from Parasound JC-3? Herron VTPH2A. Punches way above its price. Way above. Like, hard to beat, regardless. Put the savings into a Synergistic Level 3 Euphoria interconnect, amazing combination. Selling what you have now you could probably get both and come in well un... | |
| The sound of Siltech 550i XLR cable Whatever the budget, you'll get a lot more for your money with Synergistic. If there is an exception, I have yet to hear it. | |

I believe Ralph Karsten (Atma-Sphere) and other great tube electronics designers would make the argument that the "magic" of tubes is wha... | |
| Moving speakers from downstairs to upstairs, degrading ? As long as the carpet is the same that's all that matters. | |

| Audio Kinesis Swarm Subwoofer Awarded 2019 Golden Ear Award by Robert E. Greene "redefines the boundaries of the possible in my experience in correct reproduction of bass in small rooms. With suitable recordings, the listening room’s acoustic signature is effectively erased and replaced by that of the recorded acoustics. Ther... | |
| Multi amplification Reminds me of my first dorm room in Rogers Hall, WSU, 1976. Two integrated amps, connected like you said, tape monitor out so we could use sources connected to either one and control volume independently of each other. Which frequently was cranked... | |
| Moving speakers from downstairs to upstairs, degrading ? Need more details on the carpet: wool? Polyester? Color? | |
| Looking to introduce some tube magic to my system I'd go to a Prima Luna integrated. It'll make a bigger difference, for less money (especially after selling the mono-blocks), and eliminate the need for a couple interconnects. Less money, better sound, what's not to love?Oh and yes the Prima Luna... | |
