| Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers? Just because a speaker has a high price tag, does not mean it will sound better. I heard a pair of 50k speakers. Ran off the top of the line parasound mono blocks a top of the line srteamer, DAC. I hate to guess the package cost. I liked my che... | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? I would not claim to be an expert on thermal dissipation through a conductor which travels through a magnetic field. However through the decades of experience in electronics and and a hobbyist at speaker building I do know that the speakers that... | |
| Floorstanders vs Bookshelf I designed and built my own speakers. Probably not near as nice as yours. Mine are 5cu,ft floor standers. 8 " 3 way, 4ft high. They sound great 10' away. But distanced 15ft apart. Helps the sound stage. Am not disappointed after hearing 4.5k speak... | |
| High quality CDs I agree! Many CDs produced were from bad recordings or mixing. You never know what you will get. | |
| Do you spend more time analyzing the sound of your system, worrying it could be better? It sounds good to my ears in all ways. Who needs a spec sheet written on it? Be happy! | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? Thermal distortion from my speakers. My ears would blow first! :) | |
| I am so happy..... I am very happy for you! Happiness with your system is all that matters! Congrats! | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? I saw advice in this thread and agree with it. Go to a dealer, compare and listen for yourself. | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound I use a Furman power strip RF / voltage limiter with a Tripplight isolation transformer / voltage regulating power filter. When compensating for low or high voltage gas never affected the sound. | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I did the same and went integrated and never looking back. Primaluna EVO | |
| Russian tube supply issues Scored JJ-KT 77 Tubes. I ordered when Russia invaded Ukraine knowing there would be a supply issue and panic purchases. I am hoping American companies will step up to production and not jack prices. | |
| Power Conditioning on the Cheap This is what I use. Plugged into the wall. Furman RFI power strip with voltage cut off at 145v. Tripplight 1800W RF, spike voltage regulator isolation transformer plugged into the Furman. The furman will take the first hit and limit over voltage ... | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... You do not need to spend alot of money to get well designed and well built gear. Example: Many old recievers from the 70s, still work fine and sound for the age. My experience was with Crown home stereo equipment from about 1980. It lasted and sti... | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) I bought a Bluesound node 2i and never looked back. The software, flexibility, steaming options, ease of use cannot be beat. It has been reliable with no problems. I run the digital output to a Shitt Bifrost and it sounds great. I run it to a Pr... | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Sound is in the ear of the beholder. Cost has nothing to do with good sound and the enjoyment of music. Factors to consider. Room size, Room acoustics, your ears, more money than you know what to do with? |
