| How competitive are you with your system? @rvpiano, as always, I hope and wish you well. No question, that there is a competitive, mine is bigger than yours, attitude amongst many of us here, in this industry, and many other industries. Men, and women. Just reading the posts here tell you... | |
| Leave it on? I use SS gear and I leave it on 24/7, because I listen daily. Simply sounds better to me after a long burn in (no pun intended). Never had a failure in 60 years for leaving ss gear on. In fact, I keep an FM station playing 24/7, through the system... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? My longtime experience tells me that the size and quality of the amps power supply has the greatest effect on what we hear, keeping in mind, the amp is of good design. I personally experienced this when I purchased my Krell KSA 100 upon its introd... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? @jonwolfpell I agree with "Can't You Hear Me Knocking". Have you ever listened to "A Tribute To Jack Johnson" by Miles Davis. | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? I generally listen to my system an hour a day, based on when and who I want to listen to. The amp I am currently using from my rotation is so beyond what is needed to get the job done, but the cleanliness and headroom screams out to me "turn it up... | |
| Yes, I ordered a pair..... @larsman , these really needed break-in, but honestly, in my long career, this break-in time was quite excessive, except for some top end Morrow Audio ICs that needed hundreds and hundreds of hours, to play nice. @drrsutliff Yes, 24/7 for 30 days.... | |
| Yes, I ordered a pair..... I listened to the Vaughan Brothers "Family Style", and I have to say, the HE-R9 presented me with a "level of enjoyment" that was up a notch from my Sony and Denon studio phones. Wearing them, I feel these phones are very lightweight, comfortable,... | |
| Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks! @davidplombier, I agree completely, as the smell of the acidity release, it is not pleasant......but after the curing/drying process, it becomes quite safe to use. Excellent ventilation required during the application process. Almost 60 years, ne... | |
| Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks! Silicone Solutions SS-101......I have also used certain Silicon caulks by Dap and GE clear (applies white, becomes clear when settled). Another is Frost King Rubber Pipe Insulation Tape. And, of course, Dynamat, Peel & Seal roofing repair tape... | |
| Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks! Yes, it all matters, for the better. There is much available to read on the subject. Microphonics is for real, and taming/reducing/eliminating them, is audible to my ears, in every case. Whether it is measurable, well, this is a common argument th... | |
| Any modern rock recommendations? Check out "Drop D", by Matteo Mancuso My best, MrD. | |
| Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks! I modify, dampen quite a lot inside a chassis, even those with point-to-point wiring. I start with isolating the onboard power supply transformer from the chassis, as all transformers vibrate / resonate, which is one of the reasons transformers ar... | |
| Seeking horn array loudspeakers with a maximum price of $17,500.00 per pair. @kjl1065 , I am excited for you that you are taking the jump into horns. Do not worry about your Bryston amp at this point. It is a great amp and will loaf along with whatever horn system you purchase. I am a diehard Klipsch guy from way back, and... | |
| What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase? BTW, if you want as accurate a sound as possible, you might consider a great headphone / amplifier pairing....you take the room (and the low ceilings) out of the equation, and still play your speakers simultaneously to feel the music through your ... | |
| What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase? Based on the ceiling height, I am guessing it is a basement. Low ceiling could be an issue, as pointed out a few times here. Stay away from panels of any kind, ime. Look, part of the merry go round based on my experience is truly based on the qual... |
