| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? It totally depends on the music, sometimes I just want to feel the bass, other times I want to be able to discern the difference between a bass guitar and bass drum. Think most of the time, the bass resolution is in the recording. Some Hip-Hop w... | |
| Buyer Beware So you purchased 2 used cables, correct? Then after some time, you realized used cable #1 is defective? Instead of contacting the person you purchased it it, you thought it would be warrantied from the manufacture, why you never made a purchase ... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes So much misunderstanding on how networking and computing work. AWS/Cloud = some one else computer All cloud platforms are just server farms that you pay to use. There are several tiers and quality. You can even pay AWS for a specific server tha... | |
| Why most $3000 and lower DAC’s sound almost identical Even DAC's that use the same chip set all sound different. Think the less revealing the system is the less you will hear the differences. Also source makes a huge difference. If we are talking about low-rez streams vs hi-rez streams, there is less... | |
| 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... |
