| My Experience With Tekton I have also heard Pendragon XL, another good one. On Podiums with Bel Canto SET amp a VPI and they were impressive. Now Brandon has upgraded crossovers similar to mine, and with the other stuff he has planned really looking forward to hearing them... | |
| Are you also leaving free (virtually) performance on the table? You can clean with anything. After years accumulating grime vigorous rubbing with a clean cloth will be an improvement. Alcohol is okay but will only remove what it can dissolve, which is not everything. Xylene (fingernail polish remover, basicall... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Yes holmz, sad to say it happens all the time. If I told you how it works you would not believe me. Suffice to say it is biased and counterproductive. Look around you will notice the same small group constantly posting off topic blather. Many of t... | |
| What is a cost effective way to level match, for comparing different hifi components? If your listening skills are so frail you are deceived by a few dB pack it in, you need a new hobby. | |
| Cables that measure the same but (seem?) to sound different This all reminds me of Japan trying to corner the premier wine market back in the 80's. Well they were good at everything else, it is after all just more engineering, right? They have the soil, they have the climate, they are the same latitude as ... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread joenies- Just wondering how long have you been waiting to receive your fuses. I ordered 2 for my mono amps, received 1 after 5 days. It’s been more than 2 weeks now and still no second fuse.thanks Stones are shipped expecting next week. Fuses are... | |
| Experience with HFTs I have been using 20 HFT’s in my system since around June 2021. 20 of these buggers. That makes level 4. I am enthralled! My sound stage has expanded and moved forward and in some instances is like I have headphones on. Sometimes I need to ma... | |
| aftermarket fuse location Chalk it up to posting envy. | |
| My Experience With Tekton Good one ursm. Viewing from outside you put your finger right on it. Americans preen and pose about diversity but you will surely notice the ones who do this the most never seem to have quite the same zeal when it comes to diversity of thought. Be... | |
| Preamp advice- getting up to speed Of all the things you mentioned a tube preamp with a separate DAC will be by far the best sound quality. Newer components will work fine, your amp does not care where the line voltage comes from. You however may care how it sounds. In that case th... | |
| Are you also leaving free (virtually) performance on the table? I did this once or twice a year, every year, from beginning in the mid 90's until the last year or two since using Total Contact. There's a reminder people are sick and tired of seeing where I recommend people read through all my posts. There you ... | |
| Spindle-To-Pivot Distance So if you go by there methods you have 2 null point with everything is supposedly perfect and the rest goes into various degrees of distortion. Love to meet the guy ,without seeing the record, who could pin point the null points with his ears. Goo... | |
| What is a cost effective way to level match, for comparing different hifi components? The only reason I can think of to do something like this is to learn to judge volume. Listen to some music, take your reading, play the next thing at a volume you think is the same, take another reading. When the readings match pretty close you ha... | |
| Spindle-To-Pivot Distance If someone actually did this and heard it sound that bad then there you go.Sounds like you could do it right and only have to put up with it looking bad. If that is the case looking bad is better than sounding bad. | |
| how is digital sound created? Funny how some analog zealots have not so much trouble listening to digital files run back thru lossy homogenizer tape decks… to wit Famous Blue Raincoat. https://youtu.be/0AHBw7wItpI?t=24 |
