| Integrated for Martin Login Motion 60’s? @audiostick For what it's worth, several years ago, when I was auditioning speakers for my two-channel system, a friend and I spent approximately 3 hours of serious seat-time A/B'ing a pair of Martin Logan Motion 60XTi speakers and a pair of Golde... | |
| Table,cartridge,phono...where to put most of my money? @missioncoonery If you want to get the best fidelity vinyl can offer, you'll need to put more effort into it than digital. With digital it's: insert a CD, press a button and enjoy. With streaming it's: surf for whatever selection you want, pre... | |
| New classe delta preamp and classe stereo amp? @fredrik222 With regard to racks, have you checked out Salamander? Modular Open Stands | Pro Audio Racks | Pro Audio Acces - Salamander Designs I've got one of their Synergy modular racks without any front, side or back panels and this works qui... | |
| New classe delta preamp and classe stereo amp? Just to be clear, the Classe stack I spent time with was the Delta Series: Delta Stereo - Classé Audio (classeaudio.com) Delta Pre - Classé Audio (classeaudio.com) I would think twice about putting an amp like this or, for that matter, any powe... | |
| New classe delta preamp and classe stereo amp? FWIW: Several years ago, a friend and I spent approximately 3 to 3.5 hours in a high-end shop auditioning speakers. As such, we were both in critical listening mode, if you know what I mean. The salesperson used the Classe amp & pre-amp you... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning I've used several different cleaning methodologies over the years. My present modus operandi employs a Knosti Disco-Antistat (basically, a German version of the Spin-Clean but with goat hair brushes, instead of microfiber pads) for a pre-clean st... | |
| 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... |
