| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? @tannoy56, my hearing checks great, and my "preferences" are, what they are. Tubes are not the best for me, when we are talking about bass slam, bass detail and bass control. I did state it is all subjective, and I do not appreciate your nastiness... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 To all. I suppose the next thing for twangy57, is to receive his new, to him, power amp, the mighty Conrad Johnson Premier 350 stereo amp, an amp that will easily do the job driving his Dynaudio speakers. Considering he has not listened to the spe... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 For many years now, a simple (well maybe not so simple to some) modification of mine was to replace the power cords on gear. Yes, go inside the component, remove the factory cord, and hotwire with a much heavier gauge power cord (gear that did not... | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? Back in the day when I was in the business, "Tin Pan Alley" was used for demo in audio stores, at audio shows, and when I was in a client's listening room / home. I also used it, and still do, when evaluating a new piece of gear, such as another p... | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? Not a tribute album per se, but......A Tribute To Jack Johnson, by the master, Miles Davis, is a wonderful and energetic composition....it is my favorite Miles recording, and there are many favorites of his. As mentioned earlier, someone above sta... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 @twangy57 , did you hear this problem through your Polk Monitor 10s? Although I was a horn guy (still am), I admired many Polk speakers and have had quite a few floor standers by them, including the 10s, in my rotations. I found every model to be ... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 @twangy57 thank you for your response. I obviously read your meaning incorrectly. I hope everything works out for you. Music listening is awesome for many of us, so I always wish the best. As far as stuffing foam in the ports on the 360s, I never ... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 @twangy57 I was not trying to be negative, but I am familiar with the 360s as I have heard them a few times. A great speaker, for the right listener. @jeffbij The Mcintosh MX 110 has a mm phono stage. My best, MrD. | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 @twangy57 Not quite encouragement, but I am very experienced, and honest. With all of your posts, I hate to be the barer of bad news, but if you are expecting your 360s to reproduce a Marshall stack, at the spl levels I believe you are speaking ab... | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? The bass produced by both amplifiers are quite different, however they are completely different sounding throughout the rest of the range as well. Without getting into a heated argument, I gave up on tube amps a long time ago. The bass from a dc c... | |
| What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you? @rvpiano , hope you are well my friend. I listen to music when I feel like it (that is, in my listening seat), and I generally am in the mood for something specific beforehand. I mentioned gummies prior in another post, as it relaxes me from my an... | |

| Matching a amplifier to speakers @twangy57, hello, and I hope you are well, as you seem to be. A few questions...Have you had your MX110 overhauled, or is it stock? Have you used the Adcom amp with the new speakers, and what do you think? What sq characteristics are you looking f... | |
| Guitar lacking bite, vocal lacking presence BTW, clicking on the photo gives a more accurate portrayal of the setup. | |
| Guitar lacking bite, vocal lacking presence What source are you using/feeding into the Ayre? Stacked components like that often inhibits gear to perform it's best (magnetic, electrical and mechanical interference with each other). Dress your cables, keeping signal cables away from power cab... |
