| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear High quality gear is high quality gear, no matter when it was built. For me Vintage gear is where it's at. I like the build quality, the looks, and most importantly how it sounds. I like analog music, vintage will give you that, without all the ... | |
| Processor sound comparison- Anthem avm90 vs NAD M17 V2i Never had a ARC issue with either of my Marantz receivers. Also do not think they are difficult to setup, but it is time consuming. But unless you change something you only set them up once. What I have found with EARC/ARC is that is very cable ... | |
| What's Up With Jane's Addiction? That is the 2nd tour that has been canceled on me this year, the first was The Black Keys. Getting tired of getting tickets to only be canceled later. Both times, I got early fan club access, both shows got really good tickets. It all started wh... | |
| Fun read... I like this paragraph. Is There a Cure for Audiophilia? If you think you might be an audiophile, and your credit card is empty while your drawer is full of magical gold-plated cables and vacuum tube amplifiers, then there may be hope for... | |
| HumminGuru Orbit Vinyl Record Static Remover it's nice, would like to have one, but not for $250! I usually just use my cleaning spray when static is an issue. Or a Zerostat, sadly they are also overpriced at $100. now that I have a good cleaning procedure, with also using new inner and ou... | |
| VU meters added to Cambridge Audio Meters rock! I buy amps solely based on the size of the meters. I kid, but also do like meters on my amp, why is McIntosh popular? | |
| What's Up With Jane's Addiction? Hopefully they get this all worked out, going to see the concert next month! Can't wait, last time was Lapaloosa in 1991. Janes was one of my favorites in high school. Several years ago, saw Fleetwood Mac with the original crew, You could feel ... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA Been intrigued with all this stuff, really only played around with my turntable. My speakers are on cork/rubber blocks purchased from Amazon on the cheap. They do what you all are saying the Gais's are doing. Do you think they would be an improv... | |
| Fiber or Eithenet Fiber when ever possible. It usually has higher bandwidth, is less affected by noise, magnetism, and other interference. Also it has less drop over distance vs wire. As a word of caution, most cables that say they are Cat8 usually do not test ou... | |
| critique my setup -- weak link? best way to improve? How much do you want to spend? What kind of sound are you looking for? You can upgrade your KG2 to KG3.2's on the cheep also there are a ton of upgrades for these speakers that make a huge difference. While the T1 is a ok TT, there are also upg... | |
| The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD Growing up, I owned a couple LP's, then got a cassette deck, stopped with LP's. Then CD's came out, think it was my 12-13th B-day got a Realistic CD player, then just got CD's. In the mid 80's Lp were like $8, Cassettes were $8, and CD's were $14.... | |
| What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT? If you are happy with it, then just use it that way, and enjoy! Sounds like you got lucky with the front 3 channel speakers. My HT receiver does 13ch with 4 sub outs, also has pre-outs for all CH, with the ability to mix/match. It also allows me... | |
| What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT? What are you trying to get out of it? Your center channel amp is overkill! If you have a HT receiver, use the HT receiver amp for HT, then use your good amps for 2ch. For HT it is very important that all speakers are timber matched, as sound goes ... | |
| Replacing Capacitors, I Don’t Wanna! I'm using almost 50yo stuff that has never been touched but cleaning and adjustments. It still sounds wonderful! While some of the capacitors might have drifted, they still should all be in spec. The only way to know is to measure all of them. Dou... | |
| Those magical days when the HVAC is off Don't think it's a power issue at all, but noise floor issue. In the cooler mornings, I open all the windows, and doors. Trying to air out the house to cool it down for the hotter days. With my from door open, I have to turn up my system, with th... |
