| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? Interesting. I too suffer from Tinnitus, or at least some form of damage caused by my work environment. My left ear only. The interesting thing I find is that it seems to be worse when streaming. Listening to vinyl or CD’s does not seem to be as ... | |
| Isolation platforms IsoAcoustic platforms, feet, etc are a nice upgrade in my opinion. Unlike wires and cable where many say they hear no difference [myself included] I find that isolation does work on anything which causes vibration. I draw the line at amps though. | |
| Do dormant cables need "RE" Broken In? If so how long can they sit dormant? I just wrap mine around a dead chicken every few months. Warning: Chickens WERE harmed in this procedure. P.S. Oh crap, sorry. I honestly thought the cooker was a sarcastic response until I just Googled it. Wow. | |
| Best speaker wiring I believe Focal, who manufacture some very fine speakers, has the understanding that it does not make a difference. From the Focal site: "BI-WIRING STEREO LOUDSPEAKERS Bi-wiring has now been phased out on all Focal speakers. Rather than investin... | |
| Are cable “upgrades” just as likely to make your system sound worse? This.... https://www.soundguys.com/cable-myths-reviving-the-coathanger-test-23553/ Now granted, this might be a bit extreme but I do agree with the premise that there is no difference to the human ear. Someone mentioned 100 hours to break in... | |
| Help me choice Audioquest speaker cables I admit, I skipped to the end so I could post this link. https://www.soundguys.com/cable-myths-reviving-the-coathanger-test-23553/ I for one do not buy into the snake oil. I'm not going to drink the Kool-Aid, as it were. My humble opinio... | |
| Did I damage my new amp I have disabled my remote smartphone volume adjustment function Something I don’t have as that would be the solution | |
| Did I damage my new amp The problem was the first night of experimenting with streaming, something I’ve never used, I grabbed my phone the wrong way and it cranked my amp up to maximum volume. A dangerous situation. I just felt it would make more sense to be able to sele... | |
| Did I damage my new amp Thanks Jetter. That I know but what I find strange is the relationship between the phone and the amp with regards to volume settings. Turn up the amp and the phone volume goes up, turn down and the phone goes down. The other way around also. Adju... | |
| Did I damage my new amp So two people commented that I’m “doing it wrong” as far as volume adjustments go yet I get no answer when I inquire as to the correct way. Im not trying to be funny either, I am curious about the answer. | |
| Did I damage my new amp It's been a stressful day and a half so I'm thinking I will avoid music for a day or two. Let my brain decompress. My new speakers, hopefully, will be here next week. That's when I can really have a good listen. | |
| Did I damage my new amp I hope you sort this out. But here’s one little tip for you. If your streaming involves using the volume control on your phone, you aren’t doing it right. So what is the correct way? | |
| Did I damage my new amp So…😔 after all that I might have to recant. I’ve spent the last few hours a/b ing the Focal’s and my old MA’s. I can’t hear what I thought I heard last night. Maybe my ears were too tired? Maybe I just hit run of a few poorly recorded songs? I d... | |
| Did I damage my new amp If you are using an app like Lumin, Sense or some other streamer app, you can fix the volume. What are you using to stream? Just my iPhone or iPad and the Arcam | |
| Did I damage my new amp The Focals are in place. My wife is still sleeping so I can’t play at a decent volume yet. But I should have thought of this yesterday. I plugged in my headphones and I think it sounds ok. You know how it is now, my mind will be messing me up f... |
