| Not impressed Makes no sense to me. Sound quality-to-price ratio continues to improve year after year in the affordable categories, due to an oversupply of capable manufacturers and trickle-down technologies. Excellent sounding equipment at reasonable prices no... | |
| Help diagnose the kind of power treatment needed Good point. In my case, I felt that the supply to the house was more than adequate: Suburb, newer construction, no noticeable fluctuations with other high current appliances in the house. If on the other hand I was living in a more urban setting w... | |
| Help diagnose the kind of power treatment needed I agree with Terry9. You can assume that there is noise coming from the outside, as well as noise generated by your components. If you use products like those made by, for example, Shunyata, you will be combating both. An isolation transformer con... | |
| Horning Eufrodites - help needed with boomy bass Amuseb, My Hornings are less than one foot from the rear wall. Maybe the fact that the room is huge is counteracting that. It is a large room with a 16 foot ceiling, slate floors, untreated. Amesub, if you are using the stock plastic footers they ... | |
| What speakers work best with electronic music? "Cheapest Polk or Kipsch at Best Buy will do fine."Spoken like a true Glenn Miller fan. | |
| Please help with Spectron Musician Issue. I've been using Spectron monoblocks for 5 years. I've had two servicing issues during that time that required sending back a single amp. Both times the amps were quickly returned to me in perfect working order. I only paid for shipping the amps to... | |
| Please help with Spectron Musician Issue. I been using the latest model Spectrons as monoblocks for the last 5 years. I initially had a problem with hum from one channel. I sent it back to Specton and they fixed it, no problem. Then last year one of the amps wouldn't switch on. I returned... | |
| PS Audio Humbuster 3 or equivalent wanted Channel Island Audio made one, but recently stopped making them. You might want to give them a call. | |
| Need for Power Conditioning?? The power system would be great for filtering out external noise from the power grid. The power conditioner/distibution system would be for isolating your components from one another. Both are potentially useful. | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? These would pass anyone's noise test:Audio Research Ref 5 and Ref 10Joule Electra LAP150 and ME300 | |
| Server question, should I bother? Thanks for your responses. My DAC is the DEXQ HDP-4, and my speakers are full-range TADs. I own a lot of vinyl, and that is my 'high rez' source. But I also listen to a lot 'underground' pop and rock on CD and digital download. Many of those are m... | |
| Is it speakers or my rock/metal music? Plus help ? Its an interesting question, whether any one speaker can do it all. My feeling is that a few speakers can aspire to do this, but it would be a compromise at best. People who love rock and especially metal need a particular kind of speaker, in orde... | |
| High-Efficiency Single Driver Speaker System I have one system based around Phy and another system based around Fostex drivers. High efficiency single driver cannot be beat for small group classical, jazz, and vocals, I believe mostly due to the realistic and natural-sounding midrange magic.... | |
| Is it speakers or my rock/metal music? Plus help ? I listen to a lot of rock (especially metal), but also jazz and some other acoustic stuff. I purchased full range audiophile-type speakers, knowing that they wouldn't be the absolute best choice for the rock/metal. That's the tradeoff I was willin... | |
| How hot is First Watt? The F1 runs hot. After an hour of listening, I can keep my hand on the cover for a few seconds. |
