| Throwing 2 High End brands together will not automatically equal success. Thoughts? A dealer is only going to put together what he sells, and what has good profit margin, also what is in stock. Most of the time dealers do not really listen to your needs, they try to feed you what they want to sell. I've had dealers tell me my s... | |
| Vinyl Care Welcome to the madness! Record cleaning is almost a religion onto it's self. You will learn fast, that records are the cheapest part of this hobby. Keeping the needle clean is the most important thing. Nothing sounds worse then a dirty needle.... | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers @deep_333 Good questions, vintage audio system. Everything is analog, sans my streamer. Don't want to get into the analog/digital of vinyl. If it sounds good, don't care how it was mastered. Have some old original pressings that sound awesome, ... | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers @mapman where do you live? Always down to hear someone else system. @deep_333 Never stated any facts, just my opinion. My 2ch is all vintage analog. I'm sure in the near future, we will have little black boxes that work their magic to get th... | |
| Picking a power amp One downside of Klipsch speakers is the sensitivity. Any noise in the system will be amplified by the speakers. You need something with a low noise floor. | |
| Which amplifier Can't go wrong with either, if you want warm, get Mac, if you want detail, and soundstage get Accuphase. Both will be amazing with your Klipsch speakers. | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers Have yet to hear DSP work well for 2ch. It usually make the soundstage smaller, and makes everything sound compressed. I'm sure it's smoother, cleaner, optimized, but it takes all the emotion out of it, feeling sterile. Yes, DSP for my 9.4.2, (1... | |
| Is my Dynaco Stereo 400 worth repairing for resale? @curiousjim LOL, fancy caps. Well, I used audio caps (Nichicon Muse ES, Gold) for the signal path, and regular caps for everything else. Also replaced all carbon comp, and fuse resistors with metal film. Yes, it made a very noticeable improvem... | |
| Is my Dynaco Stereo 400 worth repairing for resale? @curiousjim I get there is little room inside, however, all new caps of the same value will be much smaller. At times I have had to check the values again, they are less then 1/2 the old caps size for the same value. In fact have gone up in volt... | |
| Listening Room or Components or my ears? Do you have anything soft in the room? Suggest getting some floor rugs, and curtains for any windows. My room has 2 big floor to ceiling windows, the reflections where harsh. Picked up some heavy home theater curtains, they transformed the spa... | |
| Mono recordings and my new respect for them Have a few vintage mono along with stereo versions of a few records. Also have a mono switch on my pre-amp, but no mono cartridge. They do sound very different, in different ways. Mono can sound very full, more kind of sound everywhere. Stereo h... | |
| HiFi Rose 250A issues with app & setting up See if you can do a "factory reset" on the unit. Then try to set it up again. On most streamers, I have found that using the streaming service app works better over using the streamers app. Most WiFi issues are usually endpoint related, if not... | |
| Music streaming @twangy57 does your streamer come with a manual? it will tell you how to use it. generally, you open either the streamers app, or the streaming service app, there will be a connect button. Click that, then select your streamer. After that click ... | |
| Is my Dynaco Stereo 400 worth repairing for resale? How much do you like it? How much would it cost to replace? How long do you plan on keeping it? If you get all the electrolytic caps replaced, along with any other out of spec part, the amp should last another 20 or so years with out issues, othe... | |
| Music streaming Surprised no one has said it yet. Bluetooth for listening to music is not good. Once you go Hi-rez audio natively one a streamer, you will never go back! Youtube is horrible for audio. But can usually be cast over bluetooth. Have done it from my ... |
