| Amp/Preamp Recommendations +1 for the PS Audio BHK amp(s) and preamp with their DS (sr or jr) dac. For an Integrated amp, look at Mcintosh, PS Audio, Classe if you like a warmer sound | |
| Bigger drivers = bigger soundstage It really depends on the manufacture. If you go with cheaper speakers like what millercarbon is talking about, then possibly cheaper larger drivers might be better. With Your better speakers, you can get down to the lower 20hz with multiple 8” dri... | |
| Substantial Upgrade Glad that miller carbon has left the thread, now you will get valuable responses. The sprout 100 is a nice piece especially for your totems. I have this same integrated in my office.If you are just starting out, get a decent TT with a decent MM ca... | |
| Perfect Speaker Placement - Put next to the back wall as much as possible. I thought it was a good article mainly talking about small monitor speakers in a nearfield listening position with bits about larger speakers thrown in. For small speakers, I would suggest his recommendations. I have done it this way with good suc... | |
| Not in love with my system yet. Help! oldhvymec-we will stop replying to MC’s ridiculous comments when he says something intelligent.With Rel subs, the best way to hook them up is to attach them to your integrated amp speaker posts using the neutrik cable. Both your HT and 2 channel m... | |
| What improvement came first? Omg, this statement is a joke, right: “Not even. It doesn't matter what you have, a change anywhere is the same. There's no such thing as system matching, synergy, or weak link. Everything is what it is, and will be heard for what it is, regardles... | |
| Overrated/Underrated Typical responses by a guy that promotes his cheap stuff and puts down quality equipment. Plus he gets paid for every time he mentions his speaker brand that he gushes over the top everywhere he can. Plus he needs to respond twice so he gets his d... | |
| The problem with Magicos Kenjit- I suggest that you take your ideas and team up with millercarbon. Instead of trying to take some of the best sounding speakers in the world (Magico), you take millercarbon’s cheap speakers and try to make them better. Drilling holes, attac... | |
| Sorry, it’s not me, it’s you? Flatblackround, needlebrush- how can you bash “Ike” (I know everything) MC? There are quite a few people calling him IKE for his recent posts. Justifiable, yes | |
| Vinyl Fremer Fuzztone- MC, or what quite a few of us call IKE (I know everything) is wrong again along with Fremer. If you are comparing all music purchases, vinyl sales are a pimple on somebody’s butt compared to digital sales. Vinyl sales will do less than $... | |
| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? You can’t rely on millercarbon for speaker advice because he rates all Tekton speakers very high even if he hasn’t listened to them. You want to have somebody that actually has heard or owned the equipment before giving any advice. As for good qua... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Vibration Control Journey MC-This is the 2nd thing that people have accused you for promoting/selling. We all know what the other product is.There are so many devices out there that handle your subject of vibrations. Currently, the better products are not cones or spikes a... | |
| Relative Spending on Turntables and Cartridges you are not going to be able to go with a very good cartridge unless you have a very good arm. A nice arm can be $3500 to $$$$$. For example, Pioneer and music hall are not a good turntables.. I had a $2000 soundsmith cartridge on a $3500 arm, and... | |
| New system, large room, low listening level on the cheap, get a couple of HomePods for stereo and stream from your phone. I use HomePods around the house as Roon endpoints. A little more, the ps audio sprout 100 is a preamp/dac/amp in a small package with 100 watts. I use this with either a... | |
| As much as I try, I just don't get it........ I wish some of these posters would practice what they preach!As for using YT for evaluating an audio component (listening), what a joke. You really can't go to a dealer and listen to a set of speakers and think they will sound like that in your ho... |
