| Shazam as an audio tool Here is my playlist from Axpona 2023 and I am also adding another guys playlist from 2024 https://open.qobuz.com/playlist/14688840 https://open.qobuz.com/playlist/21698838 | |
| New cartridge ideas... Here is a crazy idea, get in touch with Andy Kim at the Needle Clinic and buy his NC-103 cartridge. I talked with him at the Pacific Audio Fest and he promised me the NC-103 would probably be better than my much more expensive cartridges and it w... | |
| Triangle Art Metis Horn Speakers @peter_s You sent me a private message but for some reason Audiogon isn't letting me respond and claims it is spam. Anyhow, I didn't like the Triangle room. I didn't think it was bad, I just didn't think it was special or perhaps not my kind of ... | |
| Impressions of Pacific Audio Fest 2024 The Borreson's have a lot of bass but it is very tight and fast. I certainly don't think they had boomy bass. I think the sound is very impressive but not what I would ever want to own. The extreme dynamics just seem too aggressive to me but ma... | |
| Best sounding headphones you have owned? I see quite a few mentions of the Hifiman Susvara and HE1000se but no mention of the HiFiMan HE6se. Just based on price I would have thought that fell squarely between the two. I have the HiFiMan Ananda's but as my stereo system has gotten much ... | |
| Holo May KTE Power Cord @mitch2 I'm not sure if you have ever had the opportunity to listen to truly high end systems, or what your goals are for your own sound, but in my experience there is no win, no endpoint to this ridiculous hobby. There is always somewhere betwee... | |
| Holo May KTE Power Cord @audphile1 I do have the original Audience PowerChord. That does provide a slightly more refined, detailed and larger soundstage. The downside is it doesn't have the rich tonality and timbre that the Forte F3 is giving me. Acoustic guitar or a ... | |
| Holo May KTE Power Cord I have the Pangea AC-9 power cord and did try that on the May KTE and liked the Forte F3 better. The May KTE actually generates a fair amount of heat so I don't think a smaller gauge cord like the AC-14 is necessarily appropriate. @mitch2 I boug... | |
| GoldenEar One.R vs. Wilson Watt Puppy 7s I owned the Wilson Watt Puppy 7s. They are fine but not great and certainly not an end game speaker. I preferred either my Tekton Moabs or my Magnepan 3.7s. And I much prefer my current Magnepan 20.7s to either of those two speakers. You can d... | |
| Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters @tony1954 And if there is any distortion within the page I haven't seen it but I don't think there is any way to adjust for that. But honestly, 1/32nd of an inch over large distances doesn't seem like a concern to me. If there was that much dist... | |
| Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters @tony1954 The Alignment Protractor that is generated includes 190 mm vertical and horizontal distances that you measure after printing and then you adjust the scaling on the web page and generate another protractor and remeasure etc.. I have had ... | |
| Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters @mijostyn I think you are talking about hearing errors in alignment which I totally agree are easily audible versus differences in the geometry you choose to align to. But I am curious about your statement about "twisting the cartridge in the hea... | |
| Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters @neonknight If you can actually hear and remember the difference between the various alignments I think you might have a lucrative second career in turntable and room set up. You would fall into an elite group of super listeners. I'm not suggest... | |
| Electrostatics and tubes @willywonka Where are you reading that the Final speakrs aren't reliable? I believe the new M35 comes with a 5 year warranty. Distribution in the US just started so nobody really has experience with them here. | |
| Issue with Audio Research 5SE Preamp @mulveling I did put the stock tubes back in the 5SE, a matched quad of Electro-Harmonix 6H30's plus one in the rectifier position along with a Tung-Sol 6550. That did fix my problem (so far fingers crossed) with the 5SE triggering the Fault Prot... |
