| 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... | |
| 1st Post Intro & Ramblings A couple of things: 1) quite a few audiophiles have dedicated rooms, most people buying cheap systems don’t, they set them up in living rooms/family rooms that are shared with a tv usually.2) nobody can correctly setup a room in 10 minutes like mi... | |
| Analogue only preamp ideas? - no need for internal DAC! you don’t need a preamp if your dac has a good sounding volume control. I had a very nice newer McIntosh preamp that I sold because I hook up my dac straight to the amp and I have no need for analog sources like a reel 2 reel or tt setup. Some dac... | |
| $7000 preamp vs $700 receiver - Is the difference THAT significant? any avr unit sounds like crap for 2 channel audio. There are some very good integrated amps out there too, some integrated amps have built in dacs/phono preamps/streaming services built in. If you want to save money, get an integrated amp. If you ... |
