| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think Today is a paradox for audio systems. Back in the day when sub woofers only existed in passive systems with large cabinets we were still happy. Purests in that time of the late 60s, 70s, 80s tried to sell systems with no tone controls as they do ... | |
| Difference between Bluesound Node 2i and Cambridge CXN v2 This discussion is important for me. I am on the hunt for a good streamer. This is my experience. I initially invested in a Power node 2i after reading rave reviews. It was plugged directly into my router. I do not want to knock this quality ... | |
| CD Player vs. music streaming I just got a Bluesound node 2i to replace some 45 year old pre amp power amp which still work. In comparison to CD it is a close call. I know the Little Blusound is not in the league of Naim, but I can say I am very impressed with the little guy... | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! Perhaps it is just me. If I had so much money like Warren Buffet the VPI would be affordable. Affordable is a word that is an oxymoron. I personally would help many people in need and opt for a Lynn Sondek at 10 or $15K and the Lynn would be am... | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? Talk about specs? I own two 45 year old Crown amps. One is the DC 150A series II. The other is a PL One. I have enjoyed for years the great sound. The specs on the older DC 150 A II will rival some of the best amps made. Zero phase shift from D... | |
| Why HiFi manufacturers don't make active crossovers anymore? I purchsed an ART 355 EQ whicj has high ratings. I have read people ising this on systems much more expensive than mine. I was totally dissatisfied with what it did on my system.1 compressed the sound no matter how it was adjusted2. Soundstage d... | |
| (Brutally) Honest Audio Reviews Wheres Simaudio Ace and Naim Atom? I know they are light weights. however we all dont own huge listening rooms or mansions. Many of us have smaller places with no need for 800W./ ch. Both are hot sellers for the middle class music lovers. | |
| Sound quality vs. volume It would make sense to me that when the volume is cranked that you are experiencing frequency cancellations do to the sound reflections in the room. If you have two opposing frequencies 180% out of phase then the original is canceled out. At low... | |
| Buy a pair of ten year old $40,000 speakers for $4,000 or new ones at that price point? Here is my take on this. The $40,000 speakers. Have you heard them? Do they sound better or worse than the $2000.00 speakers? Never buy something sight unseen or unheard. Also,an important thing. The drivers used on the $40,000 pair of speak... | |
| Vintage Crown D 150A II Amp -- How good was it? https://www.kenrockwell.com/audio/crown/d-150a-series-ii.htmThis is a great review on the Crown DC 150 A series II | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? I think of an audiophile just as the word says. Audio music collector as a hobby. Usually fanatic about sound purity. But not all audiophiles have exeptional ears. To love music you do not need to be an audiophile. You can be audio enthusiast wi... | |
| All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!! My Personal Experience. There is a big difference in Amps and Pre-Amps. I personally tested against one another on the same turntable and speakers.New Crown International PL-1 /SL-1 Against a New Yamaha Parametric / EQ Pre-Amp and Beast M Series P... | |
| Power amps into surge protector/Conditioner or DIRECT to wall? Final verdict? Surge protectors are better than nothing. They protect mostly against high freqency spikes and line frequencies in the khz range. They kick in about 200v so your class D powet suppy is very susceptible just like a computer. It is essentially a m... | |
| New Schiit Freya or used Conrad Johnson PV-10AL/BL, or? Mapletree Line 2 - I looked at these because everyone says hey have excellent sound. I do believe that. However, if I am going to drop $800.00 I do not want control knobs that are from the 1940's. I have seen antique radios with these same ... | |
