| In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment Well, only the people who are very well off will have a 30k integrated unless a second mortgage is taken out. High end audio has always since my teen years been a hobby learning, observing and seeing where financially I fit in. Since I fall middl... | |
| Why do you guys pursue a flat frequency response when you buy a subwoofer? A subwoofer? I am not on the subwoofer bandwagon yet. I built my own speakers and I am not an audio engineer by any stretch of the imagination. I am very picky about my sound but never had the money to buy the speaker sound I like. My 8" towe... | |
| Power Conditioners To be more specific, get both the Furman for plugging in the power conditioner. | |
| Power Conditioners Being an electronics technician, my recommendation would be the Furman, will get the RF. but will quit if hit hard by a large spike. and an isolation transformer with voltage hold circuits to keep voltage steady, filter spikes, low voltage, RF, ... | |
| JBL L300 - true myth? The JBL L-300s were the best sounding JBL Speaker I ever heard. I built some JBL Lancers with the 14" Aquadag coating LE 14A JBL 5" Mid and 1" Pro Titanium tweeter. I thought the Lancers sounded better than most sub - $1000 / Pair speakers at ... | |
| Silly question, but I’ll ask it anyway. Spark plug wires are not suited for audio. They come mostly with resistive material that inhibits RF so it does not cause popping sounds in the car radio. | |
| 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... |
