| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? The thrill of the hunt can be a powerful thing and when it's gone things can seem empty. Since I've put the finishing touches on my system-which I think sounds great-I don't feel the need to find the next best thing. I think, as others have said,... | |
| Subs? For sure not one sub. It may make your system sound worse-it did for me. Two subs at a minimum, 4 being best. As has been previously mentioned-the biggest effect of adding subs is how it cleans up the sonic clutter in your room. The second effec... | |
| What were your top musical discoveries of 2024? I first heard this album a few weeks ago and had to have it. It's an older album, originally released in 1989 by The Tragically Hip-a Canadian band. The album is titled "Up to Here". My version is a remaster by Music on Vinyl. For fans of 70's... | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? I still go to live shows, but am doing less so because most of my favorite bands are a fragment of the original group. I did catch U2 and The Eagles at the sphere. What amazing shows and the most incredible venue ever. 165,000 (that's correct) ... | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A FYI, my subs are set at 70hz. Perhaps start at one end and move to the other to find what suits your ears best. | |
| System assessment... I would try acoustic room treatments first. Even if you end up upgrading equipment, this will be helpful. It's probably the most inexpensive route as well. I found by adding absorption and diffraction in my rooms the sometimes shrill sounds I w... | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A My first recommendation would be 2 subs at a minimum. I've had the Swarm and it would likely work well with your room. Acoustic studies (see @rauliruegas comment on my post-Subwoofers are a superlative room treatment) demonstrates that 4 subs ar... | |
| Subwoofers are a superlative room treatment Thanks to all for the feedback! @petaluman The subs interface with an iphone app which is pretty easy to use. Each sub is independently calibrated to the listening position. The only DSP in my system is with the subs. @newton_john Sorry for the ... | |
| Subwoofers are a superlative room treatment If your amps are currently taxed with your speakers, you may wish to high pass. I have found that I'm going from 12 o'clock on the Pre amp to 2ish now. This is about 92dB. I asked Mike at Suncoast about that since nothing should affect the main... | |
| Subwoofers are a superlative room treatment @elliottbnewcombjr Congratulations on the sweet ride! | |
| Subwoofers are a superlative room treatment The S7s are not attenuated and untouched. I purposely placed this post here because I only listen to vinyl and the overwhelming majority of great tips I have received have been on this forum. | |
| Reliability - what’s your experience been? @ozzy62 I'm curious what you replaced you Nott TT motor with. Do you still have the Nottingham? | |
| Pop album that has stood the test of time 'Til Tuesday-Welcome Home. Aimee Mann at her best. A Flock of Seagulls-S/T may be more new wave than pop Bee Gee's-Maincourse Blondie-Parallel lines The first press is has amazing sonics and is on the TAS best sounding vinyl list Cars Candy-... | |
| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? I have had Magic S7's driven by VAC amps and Preamps for 7 years. They have never been fatiguing in the least, even after 6-7 hours of listening. We frequently have guests over for dinner and music and I have to drag them out of the room to get s... | |
| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition @terry9 On page 43 of Neil's book, he demonstrates with pictures rinsing with tap water using the label protector handles and mentioned the distilled water rinse/spritz using nalgene bottles. Marbles intact-at least in this context! |
