| A listening test of two power amps surdo; You actually played it well. This forum has it's share of haters and naming your gear will usually open you up to a kick in the nads from at least one or two of them. You're still getting a good taste of that even without brands. I for one ... | |
| Are You a Swifty? I couldn't say as I have honestly never heard her sing. I stopped listening to radio in 2002 when Sirius XM debuted, and I don't watch talent reality shows. I never had any use for Madonna, J Lo, or Beyonce either, and Taylor looks to be a continu... | |
| A Tale for Your Bemusement I can't shine any light on your particular problem, but Sony's HAP-Z1ES has been the bedrock of my system for many trouble free years now. Like you, I really enjoy the Sense Me function. I did upgrade the on board HDD to a Samsung 870 EVO SSD two ... | |
| Throw it out! I applied the same basic concept during the packing process the last two times I moved. As I handled each item, if I couldn't think of a really good reason within 5 seconds to pack it in a box, it went in the give away/throw away pile. By the last... | |
| Dog pissed on speaker I've had speakers I felt like doing that to 😉 | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love Never understood the concept of bashing someone else's preference in music. Personally, I have nothing against classical music, but I wouldn't listen to it even if I could use someone else's ears to do so. It's not good or bad, it's just not what ... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love That happened to me with a McIntosh amp and preamp. I gave them about six months, a period where I tried different cables and different speaker positions. To be fair, it was a great sounding combo and I loved the look, but it just wasn't checking ... | |
| Equalizer to compensate for hearing loss - Any success stories? I paired a Schiit Loki with their Vali 2 headphone amp coupled with a pair of their custom short interconnects, a Sony NW-A105 Hi-res player and Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 headphones for a really sweet set-up. | |
| Microphonics, Feedback and Bob Carver Some people can sit on a small rise above a serene valley on a beautiful spring day and just marvel at the wondrous view. Others never get to really enjoy the view because they get too wrapped up in trying to figure out why it's so wondrous. As Bo... | |
| Kids, Dogs, and Speakers Many years ago when I was a vertically challenged person living in a house full of like individuals and something got broken, my dad would just sigh and lament how foolish it was to try and have nice things in a house full of kids. Doesn't answer ... | |
| Look at these beauties If I had some of those I would feel like Saddam Hussein with his gold guns 😁 | |
| Value of a preamp? I'm an audio troglodyte. I like tone controls and most preamps have them, at least the ones I own! | |
| Can I turn my 2-way Bookshelf speakers 90°…? I have a small set-up in my hobby workshop, a 10' x 12' room that has a 9' ceiling. It's occupied by two work benches set in one corner to form an "L" with wall mounted cabinets over them and one seated work station per bench. Since the opposite c... | |
| Best Covers For my money, the king of covers will always be Joe Cocker! | |
| What happens when the stylus tip wears out on a $12,000 cartridge? Reading this reminded me of a wonderful quote by George Gobel when he found himself on Johnny Carson's couch with Bob Hope and Dean Martin. I'm definitely a pair of brown shoes on this couch. 😉 |
