| Usher cp-6381, lacking in bass? I owned these ushers for years and they had plenty of bass. I think it's your krell amp. IMO a lot of the krell amps that I have heard don't have a good bottom end, similar to carver amps, a lot of power but no lower end.i did add bags of sand in... | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? 1st this thread makes no sense at all and maybe that's what the intentions are. The originator thinks putting $30 speakers in a $10 cabinet and you have a $130,000 raidho speaker system.also, if somebody spends more $$$ on something than what he d... | |
| Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles Same same here as stereo5. New room, 4 dedicated 20 amp lines with the normal plastic boxes. No ground issues or noise. Probably overkill here with potential issues in the future. | |
| What HardDrive Do You Use? The 1st question should be: why do you have drives in your audio room? My drives are 50 feet or more from my audio room and I don't care if they are loud or not. | |
| Phono interconnects acting as antenna, adding noise to system Try shielded cables for your phono connections. That's what I use and they are dead quiet | |
| What to do with audio Magazines I have subscribed to many of these for many years in print form and now I get them digitally on my iPad Pro. You can save huge on some of these like Hi-Fi+ when you subscribe digitally over print.For many years before switching to digital versions... | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K Hanss T-60 if you can find a good deal or the Hanss T-30. I have had my T-60 for 6 years now with no problems, sounds great, capable of 2 tonearms. You better have a good back and a buddy to help you since the platter is 44 lbs and the table is cl... | |
| storage options for MacBook Air The original question was to store music on an external drive or on internal drive. For 1, in time your ssd will be too small to hold all of your music. The 2nd issue is that hard disks are noisy to have in your audio room.options? Plenty.1) use a... | |
| EQ with JRiver/Pure Music vs Aurender/Dedicated servers I had a Mac mini with either pure music/amarra/pure music/and then audirvana and it sounded very good. I then did some auditioning of music servers like aurender and auralic and ended up with the auralic aries music server. The Aries sounds so muc... | |
| Kronos vs TW Acoustic Hanss T-60. Many benefits like multiple motors and can support multiple tonearms to name a couple. If you read 3 of the absolute sound reviews of the 'cost no object' best sounding rooms at the 2016 Newport Audio show, they picked the Lotus Group... | |
| Revel salon 2 vs vandersteen 5a carbons Revel by a large margin. I would actually take the Revel's over the vandersteen 7's, that's how good I think the revel's are. You might need bigger more powerful amps for the revel's, not sure. I just got back from RMAF and listened to the salon ... | |

| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup Dctom, this doesn't make sense. An ssd by itself will not improve the sound, all it will do is read the music faster. Most good software will read the music into ram and play the song from ram, not from a hdd/ssd. If you went with Linux instead of... | |
| Music Server I have used a Mac mini for years as a music server running software like pure music and audirvana. Using the latest audirvana software and getting rid of iTunes was a big step in the right direction but the interface was crude. When I started eval... |
