| Your most indispensable "tweak"? Much of what is mentioned above, imo, are not tweaks, but actual components and necessities, as part of our systems, for bringing out the best for our enjoyment. I am in line with atmasphere ( even though we are on different sides about some thing... | |
| Downside to "revealing" system? I know many listeners who own 2 tonearms / cartridges, on a single table, or have 2 separate table / arm / cartridge players, for the exact reason you speak about. And as mentioned above, you have 2 phono stages. | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) My passive is single ended, and I am fine with it. Given everything you say, which is quite informative, still leaves me with 2 conclusions. The 1st is, balanced lines are useful, and necessary, when the lines are long, and / or there is an abunda... | |
| BEL 1001 MK5 driving Joseph Audio Pulsars @atmasphere Ditto with everything said ! | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) All good. I have heard the Benchmark gear ( at another listener’s home ), which I understand conforms 100%. We did a cable shoot out, and the sq differences between cables were quite apparent to me ( I brought over some 1 meter Silnote Audio balan... | |
| Amp matching for Klipsch Forte III Klipsch " Heritage " speakers are fun, and I am glad folks besides myself, think so. I have spoken here and elsewhere, about damping the mid horns ( the greatest improvement ), the tweeter horns, the woofer and passive woofer frames, and the cabin... | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way Mapman, congrats, and yes, it will be interesting to hear your opinions on the differences / improvements with the Metas ( after some break in time ). Do you happen to have on your rear wall behind your couch, a sound absorbing panel, blanket or t... | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) @atmasphere Welcome to my post, and thank you for the feedback. My other cable is in fact another of the same cable, and of the same length. I like the sound of these cables. I am yet to hear a cable that does not have a sound ( after an extensive... | |
| Interesting discovery when my carpets were cleaned yesterday! Remember, there is an issue with the safety of the 5 year old. | |
| Frustrated McIntosh Owner Delays are expected. Truth should simply be told. Must be hard for any business these days, as the virus has disrupted the entire planet, of evey day normality. | |
| BEL 1001 MK5 driving Joseph Audio Pulsars A speaker in the 83-84 db range, is certainly going to tax any amplifier, if truthful dynamics is expected. I agree as well, the music, listening room / listener distance, volume levels, etc, all play a big part. My speakers play with any amplifie... | |
| Improvement over nuforce sta 200? Sounds to me, things are ok with your set up. " carpet on the roof ". That is awesome. How close are you to the wall behind your listening seat ? I did get to read the gear post prior to the deletion. | |
| Just spoke to an old client of mine..........Avantgarde owner I appreciate everyones feedback. Duke, I completely comprehend every thing you say. With my background, I am still so limited in speaking of those things as you do. And as a speaker designer, I am sure considerations are made by you and applied to... | |
| Just spoke to an old client of mine..........Avantgarde owner Jond, it is all about the right speaker, for the right room, and the marriage, between them, and the listener. Prof., nice speakers, both, especially for a short listening distance. My modified Lascalas do great, with near field as well. Toe in, a... | |
