| From whence does Sound Stage come? Soundstage is a very interesting subject, for sure. And one that can be elusive to achieve. I’ve done some very simple experiments, the simplest of which is switching out one amp for another. Same speakers. Same location. Listening at the same... | |
| I Hate Moving Cables, racks, speakers, amps, sources, records and books. So much work. Let me guess, first thing to get sorted will be the stereo, then bed, then kitchen :) Good luck, hope it goes smoothly and the new room doesn’t change the sonics ... | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? I’ve been listening to tube’s exclusively for a couple of decades now. Until recently… Built my own 30w class a amp, paired it with a tube front end (I know, can’t let go of those tubes…) This SS amp has changed my opinions about gear. This amp,... | |
| Looking for an Amp Replacement Have to agree with some comments above. I have built, repaired and recapped a bunch of gear myself. firm believer that everything is repairable. And depending on where the cap sits in the signal path, it’s an opportunity to put a higher qu... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? I am in agreement with @erik_squires Read this article http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/High-Pass-Filter.htm | |
| Issues with heavy noise using RCA cable connection to Record Player Why are you using something other than a phono cable? You do realize, that a the 2M red has an output of 5.5mV, right? You do realize your other components have an output between 1 and 2 Volts? So, your DAC has a signal 400 times stronger than ... | |
| My Final System Build in Words & Pictures Love the floating panels in sand! Hope you don’t mind if I copy that idea :) Ive built sand filled boxes to put under some of my components, but they are sealed boxes. The floating panels in sand are intriguing. Wonder if using silicone to “... | |
| Why are People Dumping their Audio Research Gear and What Does it Say about them? Curious where this mass dump is happening. If I owned any AR gear I would certainly not be getting rid of it. It’s tube gear, which is ridiculously simple to repair. Consider other gear that became unavailable, which went up in value once ... | |
| Speakers sounding dull? MUST READ! The truth about speaker design! Well, it would appear the subject of this thread has been silenced… ”His holiness master Kenjit has been silenced. This account is no longer active” One can only hope… | |
| How To Keep Cat Off Stereo Equipment? My cat never went near my gear. Did like to chew on wires though. For some reason, never touched any of my audio cables. If the music was right, he would sleep on the floor between the speakers. | |
| Help with hiss Here’s another thing to try. when amp in, connected to speakers with nothing else connected, try holing into the rca connectors and see if the noise subsides other thing to check, is the DC on the speaker outputs if you have a multi meter... | |
| Help with hiss Ghosts in the machine… Such an annoying problem to have. I read through above but could not tell if the problem persists with only a power cord being attached to the power amps, and the amps being connected to the speakers. From what I gather... | |

| The problem with PLC @kenjit Worlds greatest audiophile, who longs for the great cd players of the 70’s What a joke | |
| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? “Cd players used to be built to last a lifetime and the ones that were built in the 70's are still sought after for that reason. ” hahahaha @kenjit You do realize the first commercial Cd player was released in 1982? So no, there are zero cd ... |
