| 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... | |
| Can Anyone Identify These Speakers? When younger and in the industry, I attended / was invited to, a number of speaker designer's (some very well-known now) "unveiling" of a model, some ugly and monstrous, as these in the photo are. Think about it, designing a speaker that can sound... | |
| Can Anyone Identify These Speakers? These look to be a home brew of sorts. $10K is a lot of money for speakers. You can always contact the seller, as he/she should be able to answer any questions and/or invite a listen. My best, MrD. | |
| Hafler Series Trans Nova 9505 vs Yamaha M80 Power Amps I have experience with both. The Hafler would be my choice, for a few reasons. (1) You can use any heavy gauge power cable of your choice, as it has an IEC connector, as this does make an improvement (2) Yamaha (as many Japanese power amps) has sw... |
