| Basic question about sensitivity It simply means that at one watt of power a speaker will produce the given amount of decibels. A flea watt amp will drive those Harbeth’s just fine, but it may not get loud enough to work in larger rooms. | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? I check a site or 2 on a daily basis and on one of them the interconnects and speaker cables and power cables often sell pretty quickly after being listed. Seems like a lot of people erroneously believe that electrons can tell what kind of wiring ... | |
| How to make your amp more expensive Something (else) odd about a lot of humans believing that something heavier is better, even pets. I've heard more than one person (almost always a guy) say, "I've got a 150 pound Rottweiler (or any other large breed) and he's great." No sir, you ... | |
| Hooked up Shiit Mani incorrectly A good place to ask these kinds of questions is the people who made the equipment. | |
| Martin Logan vs. Everything You're absolutely not wrong so don't let a salesman's goal to sell you different speakers influence you. Also, don't let some self-important person who knows nothing about you influence you with talk about a "weak link" in your system. They only l... | |
| Suggestions for Giant Killer rca coax digital cable under $500 used 1's and 0's. It doesn't matter. | |
| power cable It doesn't matter and if you have someone to assist in blind testing, you'll realize that. | |
| Speaker Efficiency @jayctoy "Mark the 8w will not work on 88db on loud volume.." A speaker with that efficiency will play at 88 dB with ONE watt. How loud do you think it would be with 5-6 watts? What? I can't hear you over the extremely loud music!. | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? A very commonly held fallacy that something more expensive is better and it's not always the case. In the stereo world, it's riddled with expectation bias and having something more expensive is expected to sound better but products from places lik... | |
| Maybe the Journey is Over?........Well...... It's always fun and exciting to get new stuff but until a person decides that enough is enough, "upgrading"will continue. I've found that initially not reading anything about whatever hobbies you're into is helpful and then slowly transition back ... | |
| Which Would You Choose? This thread is a great example of people either not reading or reading but not caring and provide their input even if it's ridiculous and not helpful. I'd sooner ask my deaf neighbor for his opinion than some of you people. | |
| The Hidden Gem at Capital Audio Fest (CAF) 2023! I’m not an engineer, but I can tell you the Black I’ve tube amp was said to be rated at 18wpc and drove them to more than adequate levels without strain. I really wish more people understood what speaker efficiency actually means. They see num... | |

| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest Please tell me this thread is a spoof. Is it April 1st already? | |
| Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds Why do people conflate the heat of an amp to it's "sound signature?" Tube people do it all the time and it seems some class A people do too. Utterly baffling. |
