Turntable upgrade recommendations, please. IMO, I would continue saving until you can get a vpi prime or something similar. The tt’s you mention are not that much better and in a couple of years you are going to be doing another upgrade. The tt base is important, but I think the tonearm is... | |
Are my " diamond " tweeters really diamond I don’t really care how my Usher diamond tweeters are made, I do know they sound much better than the prior beryllium tweeters or the silk dome tweeters Usher used to use. I still own some old Usher speakers for my secondary systems and the silk d... | |
Speaker distance Dedicated room: use the 1/3 methodology, 1/3 length of room for distance of speaker to back wall; 1/3 length of room for distance of chair to wall. Then I used cardas calculations for distance from side walls. Fine tune toe in.room tuning devices ... | |
Musician vs. audiophile Pure bs about musicians being deaf. Who picks out the equipment that the musician uses? Would I ask a guitar player to pick my cymbal array or would a piano player ask a drummer if the piano is tuned? I know what a ride cymbal sounds like, I could... | |
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Wireless is a terrible way to transmit bits for audio. That signal gets broadcast and competes with all the other noise on those bands: remote noise, degradation of bandwidth due to # of walls/barriers between the source and the dac/bridge, and ot... | |
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Sorry it is redcloud. I upgraded before going into the hospital for surgery. Too much pain killers! | |
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC If your home is wired with a home run built in, meaning each room has its own Ethernet port and all of the terminates at 1 location, then you would plug all of these Ethernet cables into the switch, then run a cable from 1 of the router ports to t... | |
HELP PLEASE - VPI Classic Signature 3D Arm or Dr. Feickert Woodpecker Jelco Arm I would go with the VPI Prime with the 10” 3D arm. As for cartridges, you are going to have to do better than the mentioned Ortofon/Soundsmith/Denon to get better sound than your digital setup. Also, when you do move up in cartridges, your phono b... | |
Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates Why do you think going to separates is going to up the SQ? I had a pair of Classe separates then moved to the rogue Cronus magnum 2 with the kt120 tubes. I liked the move except the Cronus caused some flabby/not controlled bass. So I move to a Heg... | |
HOW TO POSITION 2 PAIRS OF SPEAKER FOR ALTERNATE LISTENING I have seen the mids/woofers moving a little so I just moved them out. I can’t remember if I heard a difference or not, it’s been years | |
HOW TO POSITION 2 PAIRS OF SPEAKER FOR ALTERNATE LISTENING According to Jim smith, you never want more than 1 pair of speakers in a room. The driven pair will start to move the cones of the standby pair | |
Analog integrated amp recommendation I would suggest the Hegel H360. I have owned a couple now and they have plenty of power, with very good SQ.the new Mcintosh integrateds would also be a good choice. | |
Can't we all just get along? Phillyb-you are a looney left snowflake that brings politics into everything. You should think about getting more crayons or another soothing dog to get you thru life. | |
@inna Tell me your speakers and I'll tell you who you are Inna, your comment: “There is absolutely nothing in essense you can do to fundamentally change the way speakers sound. They are what they are.“This is supposed to be a joke, right? There are many things that can change the sound of your speakers: ... | |
Michael Fremer's system He needs to hire Jim Smith to come in and voice his system since his setup defies everything that the experts tell you to do. For example: the Wilsons are close to the back wall, where is the rule of 1/3's. Where is the room treatments? Again, the... |
