| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? Try this on for size: "musical, musicality A personal judgment as to the degree to which reproduced sound resembles live music. Real musical sound is both accurate and euphonic, consonant and dissonant." Sounds Like? An Audio Glossary Glossary: ... | |
| Audiophilia: Is it the pursuit of audio excellence or just a desire to tinker. Easy question! It's different things for different people. Personally, I've always found it odd or difficult to think of what we do as a "hobby", per se. For some, especially those like The Princess and the Pea, who just can't stop tinkering wi... | |
| What To Do? @nicholsr Just another idea: First off, nobody is that busy that they can't spare a minute or two to float you a quick call and/or send you a quick text message providing some sort of information on the status of your repair. Secondly, the idea ... | |
| rocket 88 Most (if not all) professional audiophile equipment reviewers do not believe bi-wiring amounts to anything. If you hunt around the web, you'll find a few fair & objective A/B shoot-outs or comparisons out there where some folks have tested si... | |
| Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room @woots You may not need spikes with a concrete floor, even if you have some sort of covering over that and even if you are using a sub. Again, I would wait to see or hear if there is an issue with the sound. If there is (and I doubt it), you cou... | |
| Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room @woots Looks like you've stirred the passions of some obsessively compulsive audiophile types with this simple question. Yes, from a scientific point of view, most living and/or otherwise energized things (e.g. circuit boards) do, indeed, emit a... | |
| Vinyl record storage in Harvey's office, Suits TV show @jim94025 If you're looking for LP storage, I just bought several of these and am quite happy with them. amazon.com/Vinyl-Record-Storage-Holder-Wheels/dp/B0B2PVZNKR/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=12TEG3J81WUFW&keywords=LP+record+storage&qid=1697983... | |
| Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room @woots Correction: the link I gave you is the kick-off point for customizing the Salamander synergy racks. What I have is the 7-shelf version with black posts, open in the back and on all sides, mainly for proper ventilation for my amp. The lin... | |
| Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room @woots Don't know if this will do the trick for you or not. However, check out Salamander racks. Don't know if they still do this and can't remember what time of the year, but they used to run an annual sale that makes their stuff less expensive... | |
| please help an audiophile's widow @bruce11 First and foremost, sorry for your loss! In response to your question, when you say, "Someone blew up my deceased husband's system", do you mean the tweeters were blown out? The information you provided is the model number for the tweet... | |
| System advice Room dimensions? Room acoustic properties? Any issues with speaker placement? Etc. | |
| Tracking down a hum. Have you placed any new electronic devices near your amp lately or moved any equipment around on your rack? Cable boxes and satellite receivers are notorious for EMI and feedback. | |
| New Speaker advice @mattsaunders2000 the speakers you are referencing are somewhat starkly different from one another. This indicates, to me, that you were heavily influenced by the artifacts of the different sound rooms you were in, and the different source compon... | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II @antinn thanks for your responses. Reading the P60H operation manual was helpful. However, not having actually operated it is quite another. I learn much better by doing. What I was responding to is that attempting to pause the machine every 3... | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II @antinn I’ve read the Elma Sonic P60H operation manual. Judging from its published dimensions, the CleanerVinyl components that I use with my 40kHz UCM will fit onto the P60H with one exception (i.e. the pump/filter). The P60H carrying handles are... |
