| Bacch Dsp, True stereo? MUSIC September 2023 Our topic grabs most of us like a friendly, octopus-hug. For some of us, music is a life-affirming need, like food or drink. Hi...my name is Tim, and I’m an aging audiophile. Harbored deeply in my genetic... | |
| Bacch Dsp, True stereo? Hey Guys... I've been following the progress of BACCH for many months. After a couple weeks of use, I decided to write an article NOT directed to audiophiles, simply for music lovers who might want to enhance their sound. A review for audiophil... | |
| Planar headphones Thanks for the topic, skchun... I don't have extensive experience with headphone playback, however, I can contribute this much. Years ago, I opted to use a headphone during "day dad" duties for my toddler. I elected to use a pair of open backed... | |
| Wall outlets Hi shtr74sims...thanks for the question, A simple hospital grade upgrade, even into a shared circuit, will help sound. Over years, I've gone from Hubbel, to Acme to Furutech outlet in a dedicated circuit, including their receptacle cover. Addit... | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? Hi bigfatpaulie...you ask a fine question, thanks. I choose not to view other responses to provide my gut feeling as a seasoned music lover and not a gear person. It appears your Sabrina's are working really well in your room, which is vital to ... | |
| Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions moose89... I also successfully run a Panamax with all but my powered sub. Having the luxury of 2 isolated dedicated lines in, I've experimented with using amp on seperate line etc, as some recommend, however, the line conditioner, with select po... | |
| Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions ...afterthought...running a tricked-out Music Reference RM-10 MK II (full Marigo Tuning Dot treatment)...ALWAYS recommend tubes in the chain with a digitally sourced system. Pin | |
| Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions Hey moose89...thanks for the topic. I'm PC sourced to a pro-gear digital preamp...cross-over internally to my active Rythmic L12 servo subwoofer and monitors. My best friend has a big rig with an $18K Lampizator. We share the same audio "fla... | |
| Salk Future TBD I had the distinct PLEASURE of using the only pair of "sealed"Salk Veracity monitors as my mains two-channel for several years. I further had occasion to sort out what turned out to be a non-issue with one of the tweeters, and Jim was an absolute... | |
| Subwoofer Hi jpwarren58... After extensive search for a smaller dedicated studio deep bass solution under 80Hz, I discovered a larger, single, Direct Servo as my solution, replacing the two sealed subs I had been using. My Rythmic L12 was $629 delivered a... | |

Last Sunday, sat Row 3 Center --- at nearby Bowdoin College Concert Band concert...40+ musicians at full roar...band, not an orchestra...no drawn strings involved. I officially surrender to the futile concept of ever experienc... | |
| What is the most challenging music to play on a stereo? Thanks for the question, CDC. Several responses more address what flavors one prefers, not what most tests a system. I'm partial to the question because there are a tiny, few genres I don't enjoy. As a result, my system needs to do large, sma... | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! Thanks for the topic, audiodwebe.

JGH, HP, Art, REG, JA, Her... | |
| Subwoofer Choice Hi bound4h...thanks for the topic. I've spent most of my 40+ hi fi years with larger monitors and no subs in several rooms. My Chapman T-4's dug into the 30hz region and I was always quite happy. In the last 23 years, in my dedicated studio, I'... |
