| This is good. What I find fascinating is the way they are able to break music down into meaningful categories, which is pretty cool all by itself, and then go beyond that to use those to sort and create lists of music you are much more likely to enjoy. Most of ... | |
| maybe a floorstander? don't get me wrong it sounds pretty good but I think I'm wanting more of a larger scale sound. Quite often the increase in scale of floor standers comes at the cost of imaging. No speaker after all can make the performance sound bigger than wha... | |
| If you still spin CDs, this may be the cost no object best option. I don’t know about the other stuff but I would love to hear those Avalons in my room. | |
| Does SS phono preamp negate tube amp sound? In one of the best demo's I ever heard Chris Brady of Teres Audio swapped out a number of components in an otherwise static system. He changed platters, motor drives, some other stuff I forget after all these years. Each change was one at a time. ... | |
| Threshold FET Two - Manual or advice for MM/MC phono setup? Well none are self-adjusting. On-line images show phono inputs labeled as ANALOG DISC PLAYER. The two switches to the left are labeled CARTRIDGE TYPE and (further to the left) CARTRIDGE LOADING.MOVING COIL obviously is MC but their label is a litt... | |
| How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables? I enjoy few things more than listening to a component as it burns in. The changes are just fascinating, especially the first few minutes to hours. Speakers, amps, cables, even fuses. Just one of the most amazing things, and I listen closely every ... | |
| Is it time in your hobby to build a speaker kit? Yeah, I have built an amp, transmission line, ESL, turntable, interconnects, equipment rack, and distributed bass array subwoofer system. Each time it was to fill a specific need. Same with mods- speakers, crossovers. I never just built or modded ... | |
| Speakers I have Two in mine?? Wow this is funny, I was completely in the middle of posting how all the OP probably needs to do is add four subs as that will get him the slam he wants and probably at the same time balance out the treble. Without first reading through the thread... | |
| Frequency response + or - 1 dB ?? I've got a better question: who cares?Seriously. The sarcasm is an unintended but usefully jarring side effect. But seriously: Who cares? Take any speaker that has at any time ever been considered the best, or a classic, or whatever. Any greatly a... | |
| From tubes back to SS? I started with tubes when I was a kit Dang. Always knew this day would come. AI? literally pulled gear from dumpsters and rebuilt it because I had no money. Seriously though, this story is right out of Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman!See: He... | |
| Cheap Vibration Control Discovery Reminds me of me 20+ years ago. Back when vibration control had to be hokum. A friend at work said he sandwiched his CD player between two phone books. Which can only sound even crazier today, seeing as nobody has seen a phone book in years. Back ... | |
| Time traveling to the San Diego audiophile scene, circa 2000 Audiophiles are sound lovers! "Its literally true!"Now that's what I call a niche bumper sticker! | |
| Cheap Vibration Control Discovery Well done. Carry on! | |
| A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass Actually comparing dimensions, the HSU subs are virtually the same size as my Morel cabinets. The freebie sealed ones I used are only 2.5" smaller each way- 15.5" vs 18". But the ported ones I made have to be higher volume, they are the same footp... | |
| WANT A NEW RECEIVER OR SETUP VERY SOON I did answer seriously tblanka but probably in a form you didn't take seriously.My advice is look at integrated amps. No more receivers. Receivers are scraping the very bottom and stretching the definition of what can be considered audiophile or s... |
