| Tweaks - An Honest Discussion The most audibly meaningful "tweak" I have done was adding a power cord to my integrated. I think it was around $600. Far from outrageous. I have added numerous components over the years, each of which provided improvement, but nothing as distinc... | |
| End of the World system GIK. Too funny! | |
| Subwoofer insight. Just watched that entire lecture. Wasn't sure if that was Earl Geddes' theory or @ millercarbon's theory? If I have to get a microphone and other equipment to start measuring all of this then I am in trouble. Are there any professionals out ther... | |
| How do you sort your LPs? Alphabetically starting with the first letter towards the side facing me. Could be the title of the album or the name of the artist. Therefore listening is completely random. I guess I could just put them all in randomly and would be the same effe... | |
| Subwoofer insight. I’m so sorry ieales but I don’t understand what you are trying to say. Read it multiple times but still don’t get it. Any chance you could say it without the subliminal messaging? | |
| Has anyone else auditioned something that really was terrible? "Jump on Bose asap dude!!" is a completely uncalled for response from EBM. Take it elsewhere. Should have been removed by the mods. Unnecessary harmful commentary. | |
| Subwoofer insight. Thanks Brad, easier said than done. I have often said to myself the same question. I know no one whom participates in these activities so borrowing is not an immediate option. Sure, I could make a local effort and see what is available but that is... | |
| Subwoofer insight. I appreciate all the responses. It has been a long stretch of working 10 nights. Now got 5 days off. Plan on trying to tune them in as best I can the next few days. Should be a good time and am excited to simply enjoy the music more than anything ... | |
| Subwoofer insight. As they say, you only know what you know. So far I have been impressed with my results with the RELs. I suppose I would need to move outside my comfort zone to take the advice what many are saying here. I do feel like the air is moving. The onl... | |
| Subwoofer insight. There are separate right and left 8 ohm taps on the integrated so seems okay for connection purposes. Main speakers hooked to the 4 ohm taps. Super nice guy I dealt with today. He gave me a couple of weeks to see if they work for me. Now I just... | |
| Subwoofer insight. BTW, no responses from Kenjit allowed. Ha! | |
| It looks like a debate to me. No one should ever listen to what I say about audio stuff. However, I would say this. All involved should just bow their heads and move on. So be it as it may. | |
| Life is too short to buy someone else's favorite stereo gear I get it and could not agree more. I could say more but would undermine the purpose of Erik's post. | |
| Diminishing Returns I'm only speakers, streamer, power conditioner, ultrasonic record cleaner, and room acoustics away from that audio Nirvana. Congrats to you rvpiano! | |
| How do you audition speakers at a store? Visit a few shops. Listen. Look. Live. Open your heart. Choose. Life is to short to spend years test-driving. If after 3 months of break-in it is not for you then move on. I realize that 5k is not trivial, but in the end, making a choice and movin... |
