| Thoughts on the most difficult instruments for speakers to reproduce? Compare the frequency (both high/low) and dynamic (SPL) ranges of piano (or- any other instrument) and pipe organ, here: https://www.zytrax.com/tech/audio/audio.html#frequencies Not a matter of opinion (all other considerations being equal)! | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- The tubes our amps utilize are called, "thermionic" because their cathodes must be heated, to emit electrons. Thus far; no one’s developed another method, regarding vacuum amplification/rectification (except, perhaps, Unicorn Audio). | |
| Still confused about clipping after reading all the articles. @justmetoo: https://mixmasterforum.com/t/hard-clipping-vs-soft-clipping/1162 About the old NAD soft-clipping circuits and more on clipping: http://www.thefactoryaudio.com/blog/2017/1/28/soft-sabotage In that last tutorial; ment... | |
| Still confused about clipping after reading all the articles. What millercarbon said, +1. Especially: that clipping is actually a high frequency distortion, that will be passed (by the crossover) to a system’s tweeters, first. ALSO; one can lose a tweeter to clipping, in a matter o... | |

| Desire to try tubes +1, for the integrated thoughts. + another 1 for the VTL integrated, though; you’ll never need that much power. Excellent construction, wonderful performance, great customer service and made in the USA. ie: https://www.hifish... | |
| Purchase breaks well within 30 days @csmgolf +1, on all points, again. | |
| DQ-LP1 Transformer These are probably the guys (ex Dahlquist employees), to which bdp24 referred, that do the Dahlquist repairs/upgrades: http://www.regnar.com/ | |
| Klipsch Heresy as fronts in 5.1 setup? Why not? I’ve yet to see an HT receiver, that doesn’t employ a wide variety of tone controls and ways to balance (as regards speaker locations/efficiencies). | |
| why a 75 dollar blue ray smokes all 2k CD players and any turntable??? ^^^^ x2) I rest my case! Enjoy that excellent box of Lambrusco and $5.00, gourmet pizza. Some folks’ tongues exhibit the same incorrect anatomical connections, as their ears. Then again; there are those that simply remain satisfied wi... | |
| why a 75 dollar blue ray smokes all 2k CD players and any turntable??? ".......satisfactory sound." And there you have it: all a great many seek and so easy/cheap, to accomplish! Same reason Chef Boyardee and Little Caesars are still in business. | |
| Purchase breaks well within 30 days The component functioned as advertised for, "a few weeks". That it failed afterward is simply bad luck. Trying to hold the seller responsible is a cheap shot, especially given it's still under warranty! (csmgolf, hilde45, et al = +1) | |
| why a 75 dollar blue ray smokes all 2k CD players and any turntable??? The Naysayers’ religion doesn’t demand one puncture their eardrums, prior to baptism and membership (yet). They just encourage the practice, to prevent back-sliding. At some point, they’ll probably incorporate Myringa-Mohels, to si... | |

| Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? -1, for Vibrapods. Bought the ones that were recommended for my components, by weight. Within a week; half had flattened to nothing, Contacted Vibrapod, via email (twice), politely describing the problem and never heard back. That ... |
