| 3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it? Why do you want to listen for something that many consider a flaw? Just enjoy the music and if you can't because of some perceived problem, buy some different speakers and do not look at the frequency response. Sheesh. | |
| I took Frank Zappa’s advice There's not much better than enjoying some cold watermelon while relaxing in the Easter hay. | |
| Is more amp power always better...? More watts do not make for better sound. If that were true, a Decware Zen Triode would sound like absolute garbage at a whopping 2 wpc yet it does not. It continues to baffle me what some people believe despite any objective evidence. | |
| Does a turntable mat make any difference? If you're talking about a difference in sound, absolutely not. | |
| A $250 Power Conditioner? Interesting how many audiophiles base their decisions on cost vs if it actually improves the sound. This item won't. | |
| Indispensable Tool! It's January 1st, not April 1st. This is the most ignorant thing related to audio I've seen in a while and they're soaking the gullible for at least $28. Unbelievable. | |
| What use to burn in power cords? Burn-in is a fallacy that satisfies one's expectation bias. Don't waste your time. | |
| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions If I read your post correctly, you cancelled an order for speakers because not many people here "love them" which is as much of a mistake as believing someone when they tell you your Yamaha would be an "insult" to your system. I'm no Tekton shill ... | |
| Why do people like reel to reel players? Nostalgia. | |
| A great interconnect between Soulution 751 and 725 Spend your money on more music instead of things that make no objective difference. That's what I suggest to you. | |
| Another fuse tweak You should cryo that quartz. The results are not subtle. | |
| Tweak Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps. Just when you think there can't be more silliness than too many so-called audiophiles already believe... | |
| I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k "Sleek" is a visual description and will be very subjective so in that area you'll just have to find something that is visually appealing to you that meets your other preferences. But as the football guy says, Mola Mola beats everything unless you... | |
| 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 ... |
