| How to prevent visitors from touching your system I have a cage of barely visible chicken wire around my rack which has the same voltage as my 300B vacuum tubes, i.e. 450V. When folks touch it they get really shaken up, which triggers a trapdoor right under them, landing them on a heap of old cas... | |
| Should I steer clear of class D amps My Linkwitz LX521.4 system uses the latest iteration of the HYPEX Class-D amp modules, 5 for each channel, 10 total (!). Without Class-D technology, I would need 5 (!) power amplifiers to drive the LX speakers (one for each speaker cone): simply u... | |
| Can’t buy output tubes anywhere except from manufacturers at high prices. I have a pair of Sophia Royal Princess 300B, special edition, listed on USAudiomart, if that's what you are looking for. | |
| Munich High End Show Report 2023 ! For clarification: I built the speakers myself, which gave me the opportunity to create my own color scheme: "Lexus- Pearlwhite", painted by my local MAACO store. | |
| Munich High End Show Report 2023 ! Funny that no one is mentioning the Linkwitz LX521.4MG, which were shown in their own room at the Munich HiFi De Luxe venue: https://linkwitz.store/blog/2023/02/05/hifi-deluxe/ This a pure analog system rather that just speakers, incorporating two... | |
| Can you give me your speaker suggestions? I use the Linkwitz LX521.4MG for many years now. If you want "the musicians in your room", this is your best bet, and, for what it delivers, the best value proposition in audio right now. Check out the website and see what people say about this sy... | |
| Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables Answers to your question: here is the link to the site where you can order 5N silver ribbons and wires. The nice thing about this company is that you don't have to buy in bulk. https://www.surepure.com/Silver-Sheet-Foil-Ribbon-Strip-99.999Percen... | |
| Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables On a tangent here: I use neither US-made cables, nor Chinese ones, but make my own. I buy 5N silver wire or ribbon from a foundry in New Jersey for very reasonable costs, and all the other materials that go into a good IC or speaker-connect from t... | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? An orthogonal comment to what has been said so far: I submit that women have more sensitive hearing, especially in the higher registers (they also have much more sensitive noses and olfactory memory). Most home-audio gear will fail them in this re... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread If it's "bloom" you want, Mick's creations are hard to beat. Any music passing through my Grange sounds just "grand" and very intoxicating (same preamp-stage as the Cortese). For two months now I have burned the night oil with this extraordinary i... | |
| Dolby Atmos: does it do anything for two-channel reproduction? Thank you all for the clarification about Atmos. I will stick with 2-channel, I guess. | |
| Dolby Atmos: does it do anything for two-channel reproduction? I currently use a USB cable from Wireworld to feed a re-clocker from Acousence which then feeds my MSB Platinum Signature DAC through AES/EBU. The MSB does not have a Atmos decoder. So, if I understand you correctly, I would have to purchase a ded... | |
| Apple Music vs. YouTube sound quality My next listening was "Howlin' Wolf", the London Sessions, a favorite recording of mine. The same thing here with the Red Rooster track: while the Apple Lossless version is superb, the YouTube recording brings home the bacon: Clapton and Steve Win... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Mick just sent me this link to his latest blog post, featuring the Grange with a picture of mine on top (Reimar's White Grange): enjoy the read from the pen of the man himself! | |
| Supratek Owners Thread This is the reply I got from Mick today about my balance inquiry: >>> Reimar Theres nothing wrong with the balance, as I said previously, its not a conventional balance control, it only has a very small amount of “shift” compared to a ... |
