What makes speaker's sound big? MC give it a break, you never even heard the op’s speakers. The OP wants to get a different speaker and yes, they will be much better than what he currently has, it won’t take much. You don’t need large drivers to get big sound. Some of the best s... | |
The indisputable benefit of fiber for music Just get an internet provider that uses fiber. I’ve been using 1G ATT fiber for years. So may benefits: 950Mb up and down speeds, quiet, low latency, cheap, and again, no noise. | |
Bookshelf speakers for small room How about: totem model 1’s, totem arro’s, usher s-520’s, usher mini-x with the DMD Diamond tweeter. | |
What are all these metal cans/pods sitting on top of electronics? A bunch of us tried this tweak and it worked pretty good: purchase a big container of bee bees and multiple small plastic containers that measure 2”x 2”x 2” and fill this little containers with the bee bees. I placed multiple containers on each pi... | |
Need speaker advice If you can get an an older pair of of klipsch or audio note set of speakers, you’ll be way ahead than a pair of Tektons. I don’t like the newer klipsch sound, too tipped up for my liking but the older klipsch sound very good. I have had friends wi... | |
Last Audition - Blown Away By A Lottery System Roberthz-I can’t believe that you aren’t hearing a big difference in SQ between the Revel and your Klipsch. With Revel speakers, you need a very good amp to drive them. Not sure what you are using for an amp. | |
Last Audition - Blown Away By A Lottery System MC-give it up. We all know your $5k system blows away $1M systems, at least in your eyes. You should get out more and listen to some high quality systems and in a few years, you’ll wish you would have done things different. | |
Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! The more you know about audio, the easier it is to ignore the people that think they know audio but don’t. For example:If you ignore speakers and cartridges with lower sensitivity than 92 and .5mv respectively, you will be missing out on some of t... | |
Question on Soundsmith carts Why would you call the manufacturer to see if their products are any good or if their new product is better than their older product? Do you really think that any manufacturer is going to say that their newer products aren’t as good as their older... | |
will changing to solid-state make the bass in my wilson sophias better at low volume? Tubes are great for preamp use, but solid state amps control the bass much better. I have had some very good tube amps and none of them produced quality bass, too sloppy. I would stay away from loudness controls, I’ve had a couple in the past. I h... | |
Which Speaker Another sales pitch from MC about tekton speakers and he hasn't even heard the speakers he is talking about. Tekton has been called out for over stating their sensitivity ratings, the reviewer said they were closer to 90db. There are many good/gre... | |
Neil Young calls out Tidal There's been a rumor for years that Tidal is hurting. So what! Who listens to Neil Young with all of his ranting on politics and audio? Not me. As for Tidal/Qobuz, I find Tidal to have better SQ, as well as MQA albums over Qobuz and Amazon. Now wi... | |
TIDAL on SALE! Who listens to Neil Young? Go to his concert and 1/2 of it is all political BS. I switched and I had to go thru Roon for a couple of days to re-enter all my Tidal favorites. I found a bunch of new albums that I didn't have before and it was very e... | |
If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly This sounds like a sales pitch to me. If you want to use fiber to say your dac, you can get 2 converters from Ethernet to fiber then back to Ethernet with a fiber cable for around $200. The biggest change you will hear is when you get a fiber inte... | |
Colapse to Hegel Hegel makes very nice integrated amps. Had a couple of their top of the line integrated amps but eventually sold to get better sounding separates. The dacs in their integrated amps are not very good and their standalone dacs are not as good as oth... |
