| Where is the bass on my B&W 802d speakers? Have you checked the basics? Have they always been low on bass, or is it a new thing? Has anything changed? Being in a NULL is a real thing, and almost nothing will fix that other than moving the seating spot, or speakers. Just having gone thro... | |
| Need Recommendation for Coffee Shop I know what you don't want, is pinpoint speakers. You want something with a huge sound stage, and sweet spot. Back ground music will be 60db or less? Think filling the room with sound is more important over sound quality. As said, something lik... | |
| OT: Espresso machines Do you just want a machine, or do you want something that will last forever? What is your budget? IMHO, get a Rocket, it does everything, will last forever, and is beautiful. | |
| How Much to Spend on Turntable, Cart., Phono Pre Honestly, go to a some local stereo stores, play with what they have, get what makes you happy. Think with what you planning to spend, you can't get any bad gear. Also one selection forces the next, try to get pieces that will grow with you. As ... | |
| Next step in a turntable upgrade path @dmk_calgary BlueJeans cable is in Seattle, WA, been there a few times, great people, IMHO, best budget cable out there. | |
| Selling collection directly in the pacific northwest? PNW has a very active audio community. We also have a few really good stereo stores as mentioned. Both Gig Harbor and Hawthorn are great places. Both move a lot of used gear. Also that being said, both Craigslist and FBMarketplace are great plac... | |
| How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital? I have the TT & Cart, had this same issue. Wanted my vinyl to sound better. Here is what I did..... Upgraded my TT with upgraded cable, alm sub platter, acrylic platter, Sumiko Moonstone, lastly hi-power power supply. Everything helped a ... | |
| Is this a meaningful upgrade? If it makes you happy, and will bring you joy then it's worth it! Get it, do an A/B if it's better, then keep it, if not send it back. DAC's are so personal, differences can be so subtle, that it's almost impossible to speculate, unless you go... | |
| Soft-dome tweeter damage - NBD or permanently compromised? It is weird that both were pushed in, with no other noticeable damage. Soft done tweeters are in fact soft, the dome is not hard like TI tweeters. If there are no creases in the domes, they should be fine. If they were hard dome, with creases, t... | |
| Vinyl Care @twangy57 It's not as bad as it sounds. But once you start listening to clean records, you will never be able to enjoy a dirty one! https://www.groovewasher.com Just get the big kit with all the stuff. It will handle all your needs. | |
| 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. |
