| Why the fascination with subwoofers? @clio09- That’s why I mentioned, "semantics". I’m envious of your location. Currently; I’m stuck in a culturally-challenged hick-town, after living the major portion of my life, between Cleveland and Orlando. No dearth in either local(unlike here... | |
| Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status @an10490413- Just in case Michael isn’t watching this thread; you can private message him through AudiogoN, via: https://www.audiogon.com/messages/new?recipient_id=275763&layout=true | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? @clio09 - Personally; I’ve experienced more live music than reproduced, over the past few decades. As long as that, "artifact" closely resembles what I’ve heard and felt, in the presence of the real thing, I’m happy! | |
| Vintage preamp/amp power cords When I was refreshing/upgrading ST-70s, I found that certain improved cords(ie: Zu Births and Mothers), could be fit into the chassis, through the original cord’s hole, with a large grommet. Didn’t want to butcher the original metal. The ARC pream... | |
| Power Cable ~ $300 - Which to get? Nordost, Audioquest, Furutech, Shunyata, Zavfino? @alexb76 - I almost envy your inability to hear the differences, that biasing a cable’s dielectric can make(etc). I’m assuming you considered the vast plethora of variables, that may have made that so. I suppose, I could have saved a lot of mone... | |
| Well maybe it IS my hearing How refreshing, that someone frequenting this site, actually realizes there are varying levels of aural acuity, possibly responsible for an inability/ability to hear certain things. KUDOS, Erik! | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? What bdp24 said, +1. Get around a rhythm section(within 25 feet), that’s played together for any length of time and you’ll understand, "tight Bass". For(most) anyone that’s been around the real thing, for any length of time, it’s mandatory in the ... | |
| Well maybe it IS my hearing "Buy what your ears tell you have value, and don't be swayed by crowds." Priceless wisdom! | |
| Power Cable ~ $300 - Which to get? Nordost, Audioquest, Furutech, Shunyata, Zavfino? @alexb76 - btw: Generally speaking: connecting one's power amp, directly to the wall outlet, will sound better than through either a power strip or purifier(when combined with a number of other devices). | |
| Power Cable ~ $300 - Which to get? Nordost, Audioquest, Furutech, Shunyata, Zavfino? @tablejockey - Actually, Michael Spallone, our resident Synergistic MPC guru/AudiogoN member, does upgrade the Synergistic MPC(wall wart) and it makes an audible improvement(with interconnects anyway). https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/moddin... | |
| Power Cable ~ $300 - Which to get? Nordost, Audioquest, Furutech, Shunyata, Zavfino? Synergistic Research Master Coupler +1. I’ve had one connected to my Audio Magic Stealth XXX, for the past few years. Not the most flexible, but- I don’t move it around much. No plans to replace it, ever(and I’m picky). Here’s one that you could a... | |
| Under speakers Vibrapod or Gaïa @audiosens- About three months, far as when I moved my first component and noticed the issue. The collapses could have actually started in the first three minutes/hours/days/weeks. They're cheap, but- that's still not much value. | |
| Under speakers Vibrapod or Gaïa Personal experience with Vibrapod: 50% of them collapse, completely, even when using more of the recommended, "weight rated" versions than(purportedly) necessary, for the heft of the component. Happened in more than one instance and with more than... | |
| GZ34/5AR4 tube Enjoy your music! | |
| GZ34/5AR4 tube Hunting down a NOS, Mullard GZ34, from the Blackburn plant, would be well worth the time/effort/cost. Excellent sound qualities and may outlast the equipment, in which it’s installed. |
