| A stupid question(s) about power cords Matt, no doubt Clapton might have gone through many "takes" to get to the finalized and selected one, but what am I missing? Tell me, what am I missing? Do you know what "autotune" is. This was not a technology available back then. If Clapton was ... | |
| So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about. @mike_in_nc +1 my man! @bolong, very honest and real. He was inviting them to hear his/their playing. @hilde45 "the ability to hear the strings and body of the violin creates a conduit to hear the musician, to resonate with their intent and emotio... | |
| How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ? Wolf, hey...you also stated you heard very little to no difference, after you damped the horns as I had suggested. You are the only one of anybody and everybody I know who stated this. Just sayin. My best, MrD. | |
| How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ? Tony, you list on your system page that the Heresy pair are IV. Why I said IV. 👍 | |
| Magnepan LRS plus & Atma-Sphere digital amps The Moabs are much easier to drive than the Maggies. $4300 a pair for the new Orchard monos seems like a very reasonable price. I like power. I own, amongst many other amps, an LSA GAN 350 (did a few mods to it) which gives a very enjoyable listen... | |
| How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ? Tony, do you have a backup amplifier to listen through in the meantime? I am glad you have the H IVs on stands, they are tighter and more open this way (my experience is the same with the series 1, 2 & 3). My tech is Kris Rhoades...Fine Tuned ... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @audphile1 I took you seriously...lol. Keep in mind, most modern refrigerators cycle between on and off. I would give it a full week, or more. | |
| How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ? Unless the transformers are bad, everything else is likely an easy and reasonable fix. I am not stating you should invest money and time into them, as that is up to you....However, I went the solid state route years ago, and have never looked back... | |
| Selling, donating or giving away a good pair of vintage speakers If I was in driving distance to you, I would surely take them off your hands. I would rebuild the crossovers, eliminate the toggle switches and find use for them in a 2nd, or 3rd system. Beautiful cabinetry. I lived with a pair for a while (on loa... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords Of course, recordings such as Bill Frisell’s East West, which is all live tracks, might not need that synchronization, but it is apparent that eq and other studio things were still incorporated .....but, the musicianship....is GREAT. BTW, normally... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords No doubt many of us have ears/brains and systems that allow us to hear these changes/differences. I cannot even go as far as saying improvements, because this is dependent on each of us individually. But, folks like crf, who claims to hear no diff... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @classicrockfan , Matt is breaking in some Amazon 10 gauge power cables I had recommended to him (x3, for cd player, preamp and amp). I generally respect engineers, but not when they say power cables do not make a difference, over the cheap includ... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? A stacked pair of tweaked/modified CWIV. Invert the top pair, as we used to do with Lg Advents, AR, Heresy, JBLs. etc. Under your budget. What a presentation ! | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords Finished my mods on an amplifier a week ago and have since been letting it sing along with my system, 24 /7 (an advantage of solid state gear, and having a private, dedicated listening room). I played the Medeski Martin and Wood cd "friday afterno... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords " I did enjoy his voice "when I realized" that it was not the result of a poor source cd but was the result of the abuse that his vocal cords were probably taking ". " I enjoyed it "when it hit me" that that was his real voice at the time. Not rea... |
