| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? kosst. correct, I cannot read a schematic. However, I have trust in my listening abilities, and this far outweighs any scientific hoopla " in my quest " for better sound. You are just plain ignorant, and I have NO RESPECT for you. In fact, I still... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? kosst, when you design and implement the manufacture of an amp that is competitive with FW, maybe, and only then, maybe, will I ever take what you say seriously and worthwhile to read. So, like many other posts of yours on various threads, keep co... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? kosst, he has many followers......geez,,,you are one of them. He never designed a product where someone could not use it. He caters to a wide variety of listeners, which is interesting because he almost designs for himself, going after his holy gr... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? " Like so many things he's designed, it's a quirky component with a narrow appeal ". I honestly cannot believe this has been said. NP has shared with the diy community most of his designs, which were all labors of love, not to make a dime. Give m... | |
| Can interconnect cables improve sound stage height, width, and depth? Every set of cables I own introduce different characteristics of the music, but compared to basic cables, you hear more. Those who say no differences, are either deaf, do not have a high resolution system, nor have tried any. Them the facts ! | |
| What are the best entry level integrated amps and speakers? Pipebro...It is always easy to recommend what each of us likes, but..............What is wanting her to upgrade ? What does she want more of / What does she seem to be missing ( imaging, coherence, neutral tone, dynamics, etc. ? What music does sh... | |
| Pro Amps - What have you tried? @erik_squires to each his own. Through my ML CLS at the time I owned the Andromeda, I did not like the combo as much as with other amplifiers. Did not like it through the Lascalas either, tubes were preferable with them. It was a good mating with... | |
| Well now... 400$ Mark Levinson amp new... I cannot recall who and when, but someone here on the Gon said in an earler thread that he had bought, and was using, the Chinese DarTZeel amp, and it was the best he had ever had. | |
| Pro Amps - What have you tried? 2 of my favorite amplifiers are a Smart Theatre Systems TA 242 ( modified ), and a Yamaha P 2160 ( modified ). Both sounding different, as the STS is a mosfet / Hafler design. Both sound excellent with my Klipsch Lascalas ( modified ). They " foll... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses This is always entertaining. Reading kosst is as enjoyable as a standup comedian. And it is free ! | |
| Thoughts on the most difficult instruments for speakers to reproduce? @jdliguori, please do not do it here, as there are too many snake oil threads already ( which I am a contributor ). Enjoy the Jack Johnson, as it is awesome ! Always, MrD. | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote I am not sure why I bother posting. 45 + years in this hobby, and I have learned to use, and trust, my ears. I never needed anyone to " sell me " on anything. The naysayers and trolls continue to do what they do, but most of them never have exper... | |
| Alternatives to Klipsch for efficient/very efficient sub-$300 listening speakers? Floor standing / bookshelf ? Room / speaker / listener setup ? Musical tastes ? Loudness level ? Used Heresys or Fortes as suggestions. | |
| Klipsch Heresy Speakers Circa 1976 ...Type HDBR Dampen the mid horns ( from the rear ), as this makes a substantial improvement throughout the entire speaker. Look up " horn dampening in speakers ". | |
| Thoughts on the most difficult instruments for speakers to reproduce? @glow_worm, I am assuming you are a Miles Davis fan, as am I. A real test for any speaker ( system really ) and an awesome musical experience is Miles's " A Tribute To Jack Johnson ". Could be my favorite of his ( although he has an amazing librar... |
