| Speakers sound too bright. Following the thread I understand you have no carpet no furnishings nothing to dampen the brightness of the speakers. The room is as important as the system. If you put furnishings in the room it's going to affect the sound just as putting carpet... | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? Thank you, great information! | |
| How long should high quality speakers last? Eventually the materials with degrade. Usually this happens so slowly you do not notice any sound difference. It all depends on cone composition on all components. I think you should enjoy the speakers and if you are not happy at some point with ... | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 400 v Cary SLI-100 On My system I tried several solid state preamps amplifiers with my current speakers. I found the Evo 100 to be what I could afford and what sounded best. It was far better than systems three times the power. And my experience it was far better th... | |
| What's the weakest link in my stereo set up? I live in a townhome, so limited on space. You have some excellent equipment. I live in a townhome as well, and my stereo sits in a 15ft x 20ft open area to a dining room. The ceilings are 25ft high. Because of budget and space limitations I went with an integrated amp setup. I have separa... | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? Be humble. Be a good friend without being judgemental. To your friends ears, he may like his system, and does not require esoteric electronics to make him happy. My suggestion, enjoy your time with him and the music he likes. You might find some n... | |
| Holy Holostages!! Carver holographic generator C9 did this a long time ago. I suspect due to much better technology, that this can be accomplished in a smaller package. But as well? Only a side by side would tell. | |
| When I listen to my system....... The S2100 is a beautiful work of art as an integrated. There was no where in my area to demo one. I am very happy with what I ended up with. But the impressive build quality of the Yamaha is top notch. Not upper crust appeal because audiophiles ... | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? On this forum budget is my max. So the best bang for the sound, money for me was the Primaluna. I compared it to an integrated 3X the cost. I liked the accuracy with instrumental music. Crisp reed vibration from strings, could here the majesty o... | |
| Open baffle speakers Back in the old days past, most manufactures of console stereos had open back cabinets. Some of these sounded really great and had no lack of bass. In experimenting while building DYI speakers I found a properly damped cabinet with not fully open... | |
| When I listen to my system....... Its all between the ears! There is as much difference in people's hearing as there are personalities. What matters is what you like. Like the saying goes, one mans junk, is another man's treasure. One mans dream, is another man's nightmare. One m... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! I like having a CD library. Streaming does sound great and gives almost unlimited music choices. . But having it on a hard drive uncompressed is really nice for critcal listening. What I like best about streaming services is you can take it anywhe... | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. Wi Fi has a limited bandwidth. For instance with WiFi 6 I get about 365Mbs. With a gigabit wired connection you normally get close to 1Gbs on most networks today. I have heard you can get high definition audio with 100kbs, but I reserve my opinion... | |
| Recommend me a tube integrated amplifier https://www.primaluna.nl/ I love mine. Stout power supply, great amp protection. | |
| Amp showing its age? My guess would be one or all. Power switches build up carbon from arching and become resistive after decades. Electrolytic power supply capacitors, final stage driver transistors, new output transistors. |
