| Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them! Check out the ps audio sprout 100 integrated amp. I use 1 in my office and for $600 it sounds very nice. There have been a couple of reviews of it in magazines that were positive. | |
| Finally found a space for the speakers I’ve been storing... and I don’t love them any more It didn’t take long for MC to put a plug in for tekton even though he has never heard this model. Nobody takes MC seriously anyway.Revel speakers are far superior to Tekton and the studios you have. Revel’s will need a good quality (the larger spe... | |
| Pimping your router Asvjerry- now you know why MC prefers analog over digital, his craftsman router wasn’t performing up to par. He tried putting springs on it and using Home Depot interconnects and speaker wire with not much luck either | |
| Anyone have the Answer? MC-you keep rattling off garbage and most people think you are a fool. You turn a simple question into some BS propaganda that doesn’t relate to anything and you put people down in the process. We all get a good laugh out of your silly replies so ... | |
| Budget Hunter: Spendor S8e vs Totem Hawk Totem over spendor any day. Totem is anything but bright sounding. All totems need a good quality amp with good power to sound their best. Spendor is too laid back. Totem Forest are also nice sounding. | |
| Opinions wanted: 10-30K Speakers for Jazz/Folk MC-give it up, we all know you have no system to talk about and you have no ears to actually hear a good system. There are many good brands of speakers in your price range but some of them will require good quality amps to get the best sound out o... | |
| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. This post should be called “most people don’t use room treatments but they should”. The room is the most important piece of the puzzle on putting together a great sounding room. Book, furniture, etc... are not replacements for a true absorption pa... | |
| enough amplifier power You know who is bashing some of the best sounding speakers on the planet to go with some of the cheapest sounding speakers while indicating that there is no difference in SQ between them. Far far from reality. Unless you are talking about the old ... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? MC is very wrong again on many accounts. Headroom - this is where an amp can really shine in producing high instant peaks and crescendos. If any amp, listening amp, guitar/bass amp, pushing an amp too hard will cause distortion, clipping, or possi... | |
| Speaker terminal polarity MC to the rescue again with wrong info. If you don’t know which terminals are plus and minus on the amp and you are using 2 speakers, you have a chance of reversed polarity of 1 of the speakers and this will cause a significant effect. You can’t a... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound Now we have a poster that thinks he is an art expert as well as an audiophile. Wrong on both accounts! I prefer some artists over others and the poster is wrong on how art is displayed. If you go into a Weinstein gallery and look at Nottebohm, Kin... | |
| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? This is how I relate using streaming (either reading from a hard drive or from the internet): ‘Some people still think that using pen and paper is better than using computers.’It was proven over a dozen years ago that reading music from a hard dri... | |
| Full circle and thinking about speakers Why does anybody listen or read Miller carbon’s posts and waste bits and bytes to reply. If you want cheap stuff, go the Miller way. 92db speakers? If his tektons were 85db, he would state you need 85db speakers. Get the speakers that you like, an... | |
| Building a house Room is the most important piece of the audio puzzle. Go out to expert sites like Cardas, Acoustic Fields, and read Jim Smith’s get better sound book. Room dimensions are forever so get them right in the beginning.Pull multiple 20amp dedicated cir... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. Why is MC calling people perverts when MC himself has no ears or a decent system that he can actually hear a difference in SQ between sources?IMO, digital has left vinyl behind years ago. With hi res, dsd, MQA, and with the newer better dacs out t... |
