| Amp more important than speakers? Reminds me of something we Porsche driving instructors used to say: The most important part of a car is the nut behind the wheel. | |
| How many watts?? More than likely it is a combination of a little bit of all of those things. Detail and resolution are not just the ability to make sound fast, they are equally the ability to end sound fast. Every single component in the chain contributes in some... | |
| Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important? Luthuania you say. Where Lex Luthor lives? ;) | |
| The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard Good point. This is more purely philosophical. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9nyWg7obj4 | |
| How many watts?? The great Robert Harley famously said, "If the first watt isn't any good why would you want 200 more of them?" This is wisdom. We have heard the amp with fewer watts sound much better in every way than the amp with more watts, over and over aga... | |
| 2x2x12inch or 2x15inch subwoofers My room is 17x24x9. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 The focus is music but we watch a lot of movies. The other night we were watching Oblivion and there was a point where they shot Tom Cruise and he fell and there was this bwoommmmm an... | |
| Bad recordings and high end audio alexberger- Hi @millercarbon ,A great post!I’m agreed with you 100%. Thanks. But I’m at 11k. Could you narrow it down a little? ;)blue-magoo- Led Zeppelin sounded best on my 8 track player in my car when I was 20. I recently bought a new vinyl ver... | |
| How to isloate turntable motor from making a hum One thing vexing me this whole time is referring to the Manley Steelhead phono stage as a preamp. You would not be having these problems if this was a preamp. Your problems stem from the tremendous phono stage gain, something no preamp ever has or... | |
| 2x2x12inch or 2x15inch subwoofers Four 10" will be better than any of those. Deeper flatter faster more powerful more articulate. Not even close. Do a search for Swarm, Distributed Bass Array, DBA, etc. The Audiokinesis Swarm Subwoofer system just won an award for best component. ... | |
| "Power Cords-More Recent" Yes there are newer that are better, even for the same money. I have some myself, both the older and the newer. I would not however recommend doing it that way. $400 will get you several QSA Light Blue fuses, or two Synergistic Purple fuses, eithe... | |
| How many watts?? What he said. | |
| Possibly Dumb Question re:Battery as a power supply The smaller battery is the way to go. My Teres turntable was DC powered just like this, with a charger on a relay to automatically disconnect it from AC while playing. It is better that the charger be disconnected. The difference is slight, but th... | |
| Ever Been Too High? I've seen it raining fire in the sky. Friends around the campfire and everybody's high. Oh wait. Nevermind. That was John Denver. | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... So many fuse threads! I can't keep em all straight! Sad to say my QSA are still back-ordered. Between the price and the time (and the new Purple) my patience has run out. I just canceled and will be ordering Synergistic. Would've been nice to com... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 For the record, there is no "Vince" in Pulp Fiction. The name is Vincent. I would not even THINK about getting a detail like that wrong around Vincent. https://youtu.be/qo5jnBJvGUs?t=8 Also pretty sure Vincent never said, "Ain't it cool." "Tel... |
