| Is a highly discerning system enjoyable? @erik_squires Funny you should bring up U2 War. Always loved that record, until I bought a first UK pressing of it. Realized that I’d only ever listened to it in a car, when the tracks happened to show up on the radio. Worked so well in the ca... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In Similar set up to you. I have a 30W Class A amp (DIY Hiraga Super 30 W), which is driving a pair of Seas Coax book shelf speakers. (DIY Sealed 5Ltr enclosure using the C16N001/F driver - Seas recommended enclosure and crossover) Room is 12,x18’ ap... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In As a basic test, and to get a base point for positioning your speakers, go to the Cardas site and put the room specs into the calculator and try repositioning the speakers using that first. Its by no means a perfect solution, as there are so many... | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy Speaker is sounding a bit soft around 40hz. Bass is blooming a bit much. Male vocals are recessed, while brass instruments are a bit forward. There is an annoying ringing in the upper register of the piano, very bright. Cymbals are lacking air.... | |
| I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work! I’ve taken the opposite approach. The new “Sonidust”, works wonders at softening, and warming up your audio experience. Amazing product, containing a carefully curated collection of dust and hair. Simply grab a handful, sprinkle behind your ste... | |
| Advice on Integrated Receiver Question. You are asking about an integrated receiver? Do you want a receiver, or an integrated amp? | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? I’ve said it before. The kenidjit is cheapening this forum. A forum that is meant for discussions about high end audio, bettering the sound of your system and then there is the sales part of the forum, which is also about the sale of high end ... | |
| Perception and Watts: Doubling of power Couple of things come to mind. When you buy an amp w twice the rated power, the power supply in that amp is generally much bigger than in the smaller one. As was mentioned in a post above, a bigger amp playing at the same volume as a small... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? All the Kenidjit manages to do, is to cheapen Audiogon. Audiogon wants to be the premier place for high end audio discussion, and for the sale of used high end audio gear. Can you imagine if one of his threads, any one of the really, as they are... | |
| Klipsch Speakers I have a pair of Cornwall II’s from 1977. Have driven them with both tube and ss. I don’t find them to be bright. And I can’t stand bright speakers. Try another source? | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl Hahaha Bahahaha Ahhhhh Yeah Good one | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? Only my insurance agent knows… | |
| Looking for some listener experience with the Cary SLP-30. Just bought one… I’ve had a chance to spend some time with the Cary, and it is pretty much exactly what I expected/hoped for. Has a nice sense of air, transparency with dynamics that do not disappoint. Compared it with my Vintage Marantz 7T (which was fully rebuil... | |
| Sansui AU-717 @chocaholic I would honestly go to DIYAudio or Audiokarma and reach out to the folks there for some thoughts on where to send it. Understand the reluctance to ship, and you may get lucky and find someone near by. But, better to ship to so... | |
| Looking for some listener experience with the Cary SLP-30. Just bought one… @decooney Thanks! I realize patience is a virtue, but sadly, it’s one that eludes me :) But to your point, I should live w it for a while. It was, from what I gather, a daily user. So will be safe to plug in. It’s all original (based on photos o... |
