| If a " system " cannot do this, I move on........ @david_ten , Thank you my friend, and I am very glad you and your family made it through the rough times that came your way ! | |
| LSA Voyager GAN 350 versus Merrill Audio Element Amps or AGD Grand Vivace and Vivace Amps The new AGD stereo amp is encased in a Single billet CNC-machined cabinet, which does cost a bit of $, but in my experience, benefits in SQ by lowering the electrical and mechanical noises to the amp's electronics by a considerable margin. As much... | |
| Hello from Hapa Audio: Breathe C Cable tour HAPA, I am always interested in trying out some new cables. Very interesting to read about under and over damping of cables, and the design and use of " Angel Hair " Litz cables. My understanding is that most of the better designed cables use Litz... | |
| Cleaning house ~ Completely unclear on values if any I like US Audio Mart | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. n80, I thought you had the newer AR LS-16 pre..........Of course, Kind of Blue set a standard for musical writing, arrangements, band leadership and musicianship. Genius, in fact. Miles went through many " changes " during his career ( as many mus... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I am guessing, I might be the oldest Klipsch Heritage ( both in age and product familiarity ) follower, guru, user / owner, modifier, tweaker, out of all who is posting here ( even Mahlman ). I do believe to a large extent, the speaker needs to be... | |
| Are Preamplifier’s Relevant Today or just a Hinderance with Digital Playback ? This topic, like many, has been spoken about, ad nauseam. But the truth is, having a preamp simply depends on 1 thing...... do you need the added gain, which is system dependent. I have not heard ( in my system ) a preamp at the 10K and above pri... | |
| EXTRA! EXTRA!! Millercarbon Proven Wrong!!! Read all about it! EXTRA! EXTRA!! What I find interesting here ( as with many other threads as well ), are some folks showing their ignorance to the fact that power cables DO, in fact, sound different from one another, and require system matching to be at their best. The more " in... | |
| Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ? I own the top model Luminous......3 in, 2 out, with remote ( single ended ), and I am very pleased with it's performance. | |
| My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong I have heard the specific NAD spoken of here, driving my modified and tweaked Klipsch Lascalas. Knowing you enjoy this sound, it is now understandable why you never liked Pass designs. As I have always said.....to each his / her own. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Listening to any speakers in a showroom sharing the space with other speakers, you will always hear bass problems ( all the woofers are playing, via spl ). It is basic acoustics. I know there are a lot of Klipschers out there, besides myself, but ... | |
| Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ? I have heard George’s Lightspeed Attenuator, and I have to say, it is the most " invisible ", that I have heard ( or actually, not heard ). I require multiple inputs, and enjoy remote volume, which are reasons I do not use one. I personally never ... | |
| Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty” +1 to phusis......Also, as far as " shouty " is concerned, we are not just listening to the speakers. Associated equipment, the room, the speaker / listener relationship, and let us not forget the recordings, can all make a good horn system seem s... | |
| Chick Corea, Jazz great with 23 grammy awards has passed at 79 Wow, what sad news. I have followed him from his earliest career, and have seen / heard him perform live, as well as own many of his great works. RIP, and my deepest and sincere condolences to his family and friends. | |
| Anyone heard Cornwall IVs with McIntosh tube gear? Fisher 500C mated to Cornwalls ( vertical horns, mirror imaged ), when I was a kid.... a long time ago. A great combo. Grew up listening to Mac tubes with Klipsch ( a match made in heaven back then ). I say back then, because now, " I prefer " not... |
