| Humour It depends on how you define "change": 1. One to change the lightbulb. 2. A dozen to debate whether the new bulb affects the room's acoustics. 3. A few more to compare the warmth and brightness of the old bulb versus the new one. 4. Another group... | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? @gavin1977 Adequate break in is a good idea. It enforces a measure of discipline against rapid changes. Have you considered adding an Equalizer? Either analog (Loki) or digital (miniDSP)? An EQ will yield more predictable results than using cable... | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano Thank you for your post! I appreciate the opportunity to follow your journey, yours always have an excellent outcome whether you keep the gear or send it back. I’m not sure why some are so emotionally invested in how you spend your hard e... | |
| Used tube preamp $2-3K @kckrs re: ‘And the need to have tube replacement done at the factory seems extreme’, I’ve owned ARC amps and preamps for over 35 years. I’ve had no issues replacing my own tubes. | |

| Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio I’m using a pair of Rythmik subs, F12SE-XLR3 and A370XLR3 amp with Magnepan 3.7i. I use an analog crossover at 60Hz. I started with one and it made a huge difference. A second sub was even better. They give the music a texture and a weight that wa... | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? @greenngoldcheesehead did you speak to anyone in person or just email? If the price is right I’d buy it and if it didn’t work out, I’d resell it. The price would have to be in the range where I could resell without losing more than a few hundred d... | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? Yes, The recording needs to sound good for me to like it. :-) I can tolerate a few issues, however, my patience is has its limits. Especially with anything that gets in the way of an immersive experience. | |
| Push-pull Tube Amps and autoformers @atmasphere Thank you for your informative answer. | |
