| Possibly Dumb Question re:Battery as a power supply Never misunderestimate the ability of the forum to overthink even the simplest things. Full disclosure: I converted AC to DC battery, did none of that, and it was audibly quite a bit better. Just not that hard. Unless you make it so. | |
| To horn or not to horn What do you mean? Squeaker or sharted? You have 30 minutes to edit. After that your only remaining option is to remove it. Count yourself lucky. I would call that a squeaker. Silent but deadly linger longer. | |
| $2000 Tektons, which one for my use? Leverage: a means of multiplying your work to achieve results far greater than expected from your small input. Example: say how impossible something is, knowing full well this will trigger certain others to prove you wrong, ultimately accomplishin... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope More likely you just never noticed. The two most common fuse locations are near invisible or even impossible to see. Near invisible: look real close at the IEC connector socket. Either above or below will be a very small rectangle with writing it ... | |
| Seeking recommendations about material, design, makers of low-lying rack for gear That's what I would do, have some solid low profile stands made, for some of the gear anyway. Some like the mono amps might be better on Pods on the floor. Usually with transformers in the back the front is light and so a Pod under each rear corne... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... I think they are shipping 10/18. My QSA Violet and Yellow just delivered today. | |
| Reference System TT - Dr. Feickert Analogue or Sota In that case then Origin Live Sovereign turntable, Enterprise arm, and Soundsmith SG1. I have the Sovereign/Enterprise. Mine with Koetsu Black Goldline and Herron VTPH2A. If you had been here for Chuxpona, seen the way a room full of audiophiles w... | |
| I agree with Keef OP-I agree with Keef.Keef- "I’m trying to figure out with the sisters quite where the beef is," Richards said. "Didn’t they understand this was a song about the horrors of slavery? But they’re trying to bury it. At the moment I don’t want to get i... | |
| OMG!!! They used their ears. Go and listen. You will see. What will they think of next? | |
| Reference System TT - Dr. Feickert Analogue or Sota Origin Live Voyager turntable, Renown arm, Soundsmith Strain Gauge 1. Get one of the power supply upgrades for the SG1. With the SG1 you can sell your current phono stage making this easily the way to go both in terms of performance and value... | |
| I agree with Keef The worst censorship is self-censorship. Because if someone else shuts you up at least you still think what you think. In self censoring you no longer allow yourself to even think about certain things. Then there is when they manipulate people int... | |
| Seeking recommendations about material, design, makers of low-lying rack for gear Are you saying that one long low rack is not a good way to go? I definitely am going front and center, but are you saying do two low racks? I'm saying it is all trade offs, everywhere, all the time. Everyone has their own particular individual ... | |
| $2000 Tektons, which one for my use? Good luck finding Tekton used. They are 12 weeks wait for a reason. There is no wait for the speakers others recommend for a reason. Only thing is the reasons only become clear once you actually buy a pair and hear them. At that point you realize ... | |
| Speaker and amp pairing You want to pair speakers that sound good with amps that sound good. Limit your speakers to at least 92dB sensitivity and just about any power will do.Or you can spiral down the rabbit hole. Just know it goes so deep Arne Saaknussem gave up. | |
| architectual digest hifi setup. I guess the real question would be why do audiophiles spend so much time and money trying to make systems that look like they belong in Architectural Digest, when clearly Architectural Digest wants nothing to do with us? |
