| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects I have both Audioquest and Worlds best cables. They both sound great but WBC has better sound stage on my system Both sound great but a bit different. WBC delivers great performance for me. | |
| How Electricity Actually Works A very detailed and interesting lecture. Much different than the theory taught in 1978. | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade Ok I read it. Music Fidelity. Great Amps. Just musically Bright so if your speakers are bright then bright on bright. The dealer I visited steered me away from MF because of my speakers being bright. Like titanium drivers are bright. That's what ... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade New electronics especially transistor / ICs take at least 20hrs of use before the sound settles near what it will be. Tubes seem more forgiving in my experience. There also could be an output mismatch between the power amp and speakers. I will ne... | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna Not sure why Primaluna is not good enough? I have an EVO 100 integrared running on 89db speakers. It will bring the house down just past half volume. This is with the original EL34s. I just installed JJ KT77s and wow! Better of everything, amazing... | |
| 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 |
