| Most important technical aspects of speaker wires? Capacitance, inductance, etc... alexb76,Fortunately you already seem to know the answer is to go and find as many potential candidates as you possibly can and listen to them. Unfortunately you need to do this whether it is a lot or a few, whether they are new or burned-in or use... | |
| Fan on Amp Unbeatable Depends. Some run whether needed or not. If not then simply disconnect it. My Dynaco was like that, a simple socket mod let me leave it unplugged most of the time. Usually need to be driving them pretty hard to really need a fan. If it really is n... | |
| Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping... haywood310: I'm gonna stick with the Pass for the Dunlavys and try to Swarm (mutil sub) the bass. Smart move. Massively more bang for the buck this way. The reviews on the Hsu ULS-15 MkII sound like you add another one or two of these and you w... | |
| Home theater wired + wireless question The downstairs noise is not coming from the tiny little foot print of each speaker. Its coming from the entire floor (and walls, and everything else) being vibrated by the volume those speakers are putting out. So you won't like the answer but the... | |
| "You cannot handle the truth" Now here is the recipe for success! I'm more convinced that you can eke out better performance from whatever gearyou may own by using the best connectors/cables that you can afford and which are simpatico with the equipment. It's nice to get new... | |
| Who are the Kings of Audiogon? I am not so sure who is King or Queen of Audiogon.But there are many clowns here. ^ Heh. | |

| All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!! Never said Julian Hirsch was a fraud. Seriously wrong, sure. Together with Stereo Review did serious damage to countless audiophiles? Without a doubt. Even today many so-called audiophiles persist with their same counterproductive measurement matt... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Just went back and read my posts again and darned if it isn't clear to me they cover exactly everything you are talking about. Some pressings are like this. No two pressings are exactly the same. So it does no good whatsoever, gets you absolutely ... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Singers: When a vocalist is about to hit a power note, they must move their mouth away from the microphone. You've all seen it, and heard it. If they don't, they overload the mic. No, that's not it. What they're doing is exploiting the way a m... | |
| A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass The more, the better. Regardless of room size. My impression is most of the problems people associate with getting good bass in a smaller room is due more to their old-school thinking than anything else. I mean if you think the answer is one big s... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Sibilance has two meanings people sometimes get crossed up. The one we've been talking about (or I have, anyway) is the spitty exaggerated sort that makes it sound like your record is dirty, the cartridge is mistracking, or you just got a bad pres... | |
| Am I considered to be a materialistic person? Ahhh, spirits, alcohol. Of course. And material, that would be the blondes. So Hefner, he was the most spiritual of us all! | |

| Marantz 3600 with Bryston 2B Startled how it sounded compared to.....? You don’t say. Comparing your separates to any receiver, even using a really crappy patch cord interconnect the separates are bound to be better than the receiver. A gap that will only get bigger the bette... |
