| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers Subs are speakers too! So yeah, there are certainly differences between them. I auditioned several, well known accepted audiophile brands and chose which sounded best to me. Different ones may also have different features as well, so there's that ... | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding Anything Miles did before BB I LOVE I used to feel the same way! Every couple of years I'd pull out my copy of BB and try to listen but I could not get through even one whole side. I ended up springing for a MoFi release and played it LOUD. I t... | |
| How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers When I had subs: 1 : 4 (each sub) | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding Beach Boys "Pet Sounds". Artists I don't get who are universally praised: Grateful Dead (although I love Gerry Garcia with other projects and believe he is supremely talented), Frank Sinatra, Elvis. | |
| Most Realistic Recordings Sahib Shihab & The Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra This recording is shockingly real sounding. | |
| Audio Mirror 45 thoughts? One time I had a distributor for a different amplifier company (very well known, highly regarded, SS amps) over to hear my system. I had asked him to evaluate my system to suggest which of his amplifiers would best suit my gear. And which one woul... | |
| Audio Mirror 45 thoughts? I had a pair for several years. They are outstanding amplifiers. They drove my 87dB EgglestonWorks Fontaines and then also my PAP Trio15 Horn-1 speakers very well. PLENTY of power! They do well in all frequencies, and I was amazed at how terrific ... | |
| Best Home HIFi you’ve listened to @oddiofyl - Thank you for your kind words. I am very much enjoying the Whammerdyne. It sounds pure, immediate, and spacious. Paired with willing speakers (mine are rated 96dB and friendly impedance), I get plenty of volume, along with very good ba... | |

| Egglestonworks Fontaine ll I had the original Fontaines for many years. Very special speakers. Required a sub (I preferred two for stereo subs). They played all music genres very well. I would have kept them for life, and that tweeter is sublime, but I wanted a bit more ope... | |
| Hearing loss I often witness people playing sound way louder than necessary. They just don't realize it. Headphones and earbuds on planes or in a noisy environment is a bad idea as you have to compensate for the louder than normal ambient noise. Amplified live... | |
| So where should the tubes be? More tubes = better sound for me. Components with tubes:CD player, Preamp and its separate power supply (tube rectified), Monoblock Amps. Every component except my speakers and subwoofers. | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. I would think the more tubes the more tube sound one could expect. When you’re speaking about the number of tubes for each piece of gear, not necessarily. In fact, I purposely searched for the least number of tubes per gear (CD player=1; preamp=3;... | |
| What Makes your System Special? Careful auditioning and selection of gear, so system has been built to the type of sound I prefer, allowing me to listen to high quality music reproduction for hours on end.Desire to change anything? Only to exchange tubed gear for solid state (to... |
