| Worst Speakers Ever?? The worst speakers I ever owned were Utah 10" 3 way speakers. They sounded nice, but With with my pioneer 424 12 wpc, they buzzed intermittently driving me nuts!. It sounded like the voice coil lead wires were touching the cone. I went through 4 p... | |
| Worst Speakers Ever?? I owned a pair of Ultralinar 100s back in the day. They were the best $99 / Pair speakers you could buy. They sounded great on rock and roll, BTO kicked nice. Compared side by side at the stereo store, you had to pay $500 / pair to beat them. Not ... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? My opinion, if you bought a quality product, the manufacturer has engineers that designed the power supply for the amp and know the maximum power draw the large electrolytic capacitors draw and the power supply maximum current in order to meet the... | |
| Music first or sound first? Sound first. Listening to music on a system that does not accurately reproduce music is horrible. I will not enjoy my favorite music at home if it does not sound Good. If I am in my car, or outside, I am not emersed in the music, but have it on to... | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama I think as long as the reviewer makes it clear the evaluation is strictly his professional opinion and anyone thinking about getting that product should do a side by side comparison at a brick and mortar store before dropping dollars. Its ok, and ... | |
| Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner? I think one of the most beneficial aspects of a Power conditioner is that it protects the hardware. I can highly recommend what I have used. A relatively cheap Tripp Lite Power conditioner. After a thunderstorm I see the low voltage light turned ... | |

In any case, they need to deliver enough power for the dynamic peaks an amp will draw as well as the constant power needed. Th... | |

| New streamer needed I am happy with my Innous streamer. | |
| Please be gentle with me! 🙏 I have a Bluesound 2I streamer. I love the way it sounds and ease of operation. This is considering you run it through a decent DAC. I ran the optical out to the optical input of a Shiit Byfrost DAC. I like this DAC and it has a nice low end and o... | |
| Signal tube versus power tube, sound impact? I use JJ KT77s. They sound fantastic on my Primaluna. I have not tried their preamp tubes. | |
| Bryston 4B gets HOT. Should I leave it on? Something is wrong with the amp. I had a 45yr old Crown home amp and it was the same as the day I bought it. Power supplies are most suspect after that many years because it does the heavy lifting for decades. | |
| Amp — Leave on or turn off Amps do sound better warmed up. In my case, being a tube amp, I do not want to burn 375w of power sitting idle or playing music if I'm not around to enjoy it. It depends greatly on the equipment and if the electric bill is a concern. | |
| Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them? I have many reasons for my answer. I always listen to any speaker before I buy. The reviewers, people who give 5 stars do not have my ears. All ears hear differently, and it Boils down to what kind of sound you enjoy. I hear cars going a block awa... | |
