| Focals latest - Cat Houses? I am glad someone has heard them with a positive takeaway. | |
| Klipsch Mod Damp the horns (mids and highs) and the woofer baskets with Dynamat, or a similar material. A great sq upgrade. Forget the attenuators. | |
| ??? Which Would You Buy ??? It’s impossible to answer! No one can answer the question! Why can no one answer?..... It is a trick question!......... Enjoy! MrD. | |
| "I Trust My Ears" How about......"I trust my hearing"? IME, the most important element throughout the learning/listening experience, is to understand/develop to know, what "characteristics" of recorded music reproduction "are important to you". For me, well......t... | |
| The difference between tubes and solid state that I am finding I was hesitant to add my 2cents to this thread, as some might feel I am negative about tubes, which I am. Unlike some above, I owned tube gear and went the solid-state route, very early on. I will never own tubes again, as "I" just don't see/hear ... | |
| What A Drag It Is Getting Old The ability of moving heavy objects, such as speakers and power amplifiers, that at one time, was easy....not any more | |
| My Favorite Tweaks, What is yours? A few tweaks I have been doing for years. As many here might know, I damp horns, woofer frames, cabinets, equipment chassis, everything. Another tweak that for me was always significant with improved sq was to remove the power cord from a power am... | |

| What A Drag It Is Getting Old All I know is....when I was young, I wanted to be older. Now that I am old, I want to be younger. | |
| Volti audio upgrades for klipschorns Admittedly, I have modded and damped more Klipsch models (mostly Heritage) than I care to remember. However, many other horn brands needed it to, such as JBL and Altec. Ringing/resonances from the horns/woofer frames; other resonances and distorti... | |
| What do you care about in this hobby? The ability to listen to my favorite musicians, over and over again, to those performances that draw me in. Many of these musicians are gone, but the recordings allow them to live on, to my ears, and lately, to my eyes (posted recently, under musi... | |
| RIP Chuck Mangione RIP. I have enjoyed his music for a very long time. | |
| Are you hearing the instruments or the music? @bdp24 I mentioned vocals....."voices". | |
| Adcom Amp Owners Rejoice! @panzrwagn Yes, I know all of the Adcom amps and the others designed by Nelson. The models you mentioned that are running your theater are not MOSFET. That was my point. I am most familiar with the VFETS in Sony designs. My best, MrD. |
