| Tiny Room (6' x 9') speaker advice Different speakers will make the biggest difference in any system. @mghoward50 Those are great speakers. | |
| Burn in period 1. They don't. 2. Absolutely not. As far as electricity is concerned, wire is wire. Marketing BS. | |
| What Would Be the Reasoning Behind Leaving Class D Amps On? @jbhiller I'm not strictly objective, but unless something passes a double blind test, it's simply opinion, which can be greatly influenced by cost and appearance. | |
| What Would Be the Reasoning Behind Leaving Class D Amps On? "What's the science behind why they sound better." You're asking people on this forum about science as it relates to audiophilia? That's hilarious. | |
| Underpowered? Of course McIntosh suggested you need a higher powered amp from them. 😏 I'd also say a subwoofer would be preferable to buying a different amp that probably won't make any objective difference whereas a sub most definitely will. | |
| Bigger and Better: Integrated Amplifiers The premise is fair but the chances of someone having "upgraded" from the OP's integrated is kind of slim, and the chances of each subsequent poster having upgraded from the previous one is quite small, I'd guess. Not to mention, there are only so... | |

| Is Rap a valid musical form? Yes it is and there is a lot of rap/hip hop that isn't "angry, offensive or abrasive." Check out De La Soul's "3 Feet High and Rising." | |
| Quiz about adding dense mass to a vibration isolation application! No sonic difference. | |

Then replace the wiring in any component and speaker with t... | |
| DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R Schiit Gungnir may be a good option and they have a decent return policy. | |
| How Big of a Difference? So much silliness in this thread. Supposedly "everyone" can hear a difference using cable elevators, but maybe not you, so I guess you're not part of everyone. 😏 Unless you can get the help of a friend or wife and swap cables without YOUR knowled... | |
| Need new headphone setup. I'm sorry, but all "ear speakers" absolutely do not sound fine if they are used with "top shelf" components feeding them. If that were the case, then the same would be true for typical home speakers and that's clearly not accurate at all. As for t... |
