| recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible I agree w shkong. The reason is most noise in any system come from noise on the ac power, whether from wall power or your components. You obviously get enjoyment/value from music. Bite the bullet now If you invest in a “balanced power” ac power p... | |
| Treated my interconnects with Deoxit D5 today If you feel you put it on a bit thick now is the time to wipe it off. I find Craig products v good but accept Stabilant 22 is probably best. When I run out of Caig Pro I’ll give Stabilant 22 a try; unless there’s some consensus that the Stabilant ... | |
| This Audiogon should also provide.. @nonoise . Thanks! Much appreciated! | |
| Spotify,Tidal,Qobuz ??? Apparently it is possible to use Tidal on Oppo 205 using a Tidal app. Checking into it. | |
| What's the best way to soundproof a room on budget If you want to go cheap-but effective. Use 50 year asphalt roofing shingles glued onto the drywall. Add layers as needed. An old favorite of diy speaker builders. Cheap,done right, very effective. Cheers and have fun. Use a heavy layer of plastic ... | |
| What's the best way to soundproof a room on budget @b_limo Appreciate your contribution. To have value the batts have to be cut just right to give a secure “press fit”. There will not be any need of support before adding drywall. Ensure the batts are slightly thicker than the studs. The you have... | |
| Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene @geoffkait Yah. And spiders webs are stronger than steel too - and so what. If spiders webs could be produced in labs there’d be “tons” of marketing hype. And they would already be in use to “rigiditize” speaker cones. Yes, we need a new marketin... | |
| Spotify,Tidal,Qobuz ??? Thanks men. Can I look at the info on my tv? Via HDMI out from the 205? | |
| Accuracy vs. musicality This is not complicated. Precise accuracy will reproduce the music precisely the way it was played. If you love different types of distortions- ok. have seasons tickets to classical concerts. I often love a 2nd or 3rd row,just 2/3 seats left of ce... | |
| Accuracy vs. musicality &artnoxon. Your comments on transient attack are likely why people fall in love with the sound of great horns speakers, like the JBL DD6700. Life. | |
| Accuracy vs. musicality @artnoxon. It’s refreshing to hear “uncoloured” facts. I find it revealing of the vast differences in the enjoyment of music seeing a reasonably decent set of equipment placed in the home in a way that absolutely precludes hearing what the equipme... | |
| The sense of smell evokes memories, while the sense of hearing evokes emotions I don’t think Hiefitz fits civilized and rational though. More like spellbound and entranced. Cheers to Genius and talent !! | |
| The sense of smell evokes memories, while the sense of hearing evokes emotions I find music can be thoroughly enjoyed on mediocre system - dependant on circumstances, ie car audio,sundeck BBQ party, etc. However, for those of us who thrill to the nuance of delicate acoustic instruments, including woodwinds,flute,cello,guitar... | |
| Furman Reference IT 15i power conditioner @vze739en. I respect your credentials and straight talk. I suggest the patented Equitech 2Q would also please you regarding sound. | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range Go an extra 9 grand. JBL DD 6700. You never get your tongue back in your mouth! And you may never leave your listening room! Cheers. |
