| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? FWIW, Running Magnepan 1.7i with two REL T/7i Small treated room (11x14). I'm happy with the results, and I do enjoy classical music and classical organ, I played the organ (Wurlitzer) until it wouldn't fit in the house. Should have bought the ... | |
| My High End Audio Gear As A Long Term Investment!!! Audio gear may be "an investment" in rare instances, but it's mostly an expensive hobby. You think audio is bad, get yourself an airplane. | |
| How serious are you? I have too many hobbies. I enjoy them all, but I don't obsess over any of them. They can all cost a lot of money and require budgeting, but not airplane money. I guess I'm a 3. I'm serious enough to have a dedicated room, but I'm frugal enough... | |
| Why Do You Listen? A Poll Question Good Lord, I still listen to music on the car radio, with the windows or top down, going 70... Obviously I'm not very concerned with sound quality, but the experience as a whole. I can still groove to Foghat running down a tight twisty in the Ap... | |
| Best preamp under 1500$ freya+ , cary slp03 ? I had two of the Freya+, both bad from the factory. They run very hot. Volume control and remote were nice. The sound was fine in the two SS modes, but trying to use the tubes was impossible. I would call the sound neutral. FWIW - Schiit was ... | |
| A step to the side- Smart TV question Another vote for Sony. There were some ARC issues early on, but I think they have them all figured out. I don't use ARC. With today's prices and technology you can't go too far wrong. Heck, I paid like $3000 in 1985 dollars for a 60" ProScan r... | |
| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? I had the same Craig "all-in-one" or similar to the OP's. TT, 8-track, and tuner. My parents got it for me when I was 14. It lasted through college where I was exposed to real gear. Had a few ex-GI buddies that brought back killer systems from... | |
| "Can You Lift Yours?" My HT power amp is 85 pounds. It is 5-channel, so I guess that's cheating. Not currently in use. Can't move the TV stand for cleaning with the amp in it... Using the Class D amp in the HT receiver. I guess it sounds OK, most of the audio from... | |
| Burn in vs perception Control systems for multi-million dollar installations don't need "burn in". All those sensors, pickups, wires, displays, and controls appear to work just fine at start-up (unless they are bad components or mis-installed). There may be interfere... | |
| Can a system sound too Holographic? I had my room over-treated. The result was "too holographic". Lost the center image and the sound was all over the place. So much so it made listening very weird. Added back some reflective surfaces and the center image came back. Soundstage ... | |
| Schiit Audio feedback I've had decent luck with Schiit gear except for two Frey+ preamps. Both exhibited the same problem as the OP right out of the box. Sounded like frying bacon and pops and bangs so bad I thought that my speakers would be damaged. Schiit replaced... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less ** I had the original LRS for a while, and the 1.7i 25 watts of good tube power will drive them in a smaller room. 50 watts even better. I was using Black Ice and Cary gear. Bass can be a little lean, Room and music dependent. FWIW, I have relat... | |
| Your audiophile chair I'm cheap and won't spend multiple thousands on a chair I use a couple hours a week (dedicated room), sometimes zero hours a week. The Ikea Poang works for me. A lot more comfortable than it should be for $150... Having said that, the Ekornes w... | |
| Infinity Kappa 9 S EMIT not functioning or Hearing Loss? @richardt9000 You'll get it worked out. The technical skills of even a mediocre backyard mechanic are sufficient to work on speakers (amps and stuff, not so much). If you can work on classic cars you can figure out any speaker crossover/driver i... | |
