| JBL Everest 6600 + Mark Levinson 585 amp. What pre-amp and how loud do you play? | |
| Tube integrated amps -- new Value Leaders? I just bought a Rogue Sphinx. Hybrid class D with 100 wpc. I think it may be a price leader and it sounds surprisingly good. | |
| Transmission line speakers! I'm not familiar with any transmission line speaker Infinity made. Infinity Column and Column II, QLS-1, Quantum-2, 1001A, to name a few. | |
| Transmission line speakers! Many loudspeakers use transmission line design and you would not know it by looking at it. Many Infinity designs of the 70s were transmission line. | |
| Did not give it enough time on the first go-around? We are always looking for greener grass. Sometimes you realize your mistake long after you sell something. All part of the learning experience. | |
| Active vs passive crossover But, my question is, why the vast majority of companies in this industry still chooses the passive route. Cost and simplicity. | |
| Have a Node 2i and a Firestick 4K and I can't tell the difference. Help! ....but to me at least the powered Audioengine 5+ speakers have much better clarity, and in general a better soundstage. To be honest, you are comparing very modest systems. The fact that they sound different can be any number of things but mos... | |
| Volti Vittora with Sub & Amp Crossover - Thoughts? What do you think of them? | |
| Could You Tell a Tube Integrated from a Solid State Receiver If All Else Were Equal? They both sound like my crappy laptop? | |
| Five year plan: downsizing I do love the AR 1 but a modern tube unit would go well with it. I'm guessing you are not talking about the 1954 AR-1? | |
| Schitt Loki Max You’re compensating for one deaf ear if I’m not mistaken and I on the other hand tinnitus... Special circumstances are of course excluded from my recommendations. How are you using tone controls to help with tinnitus? Cutting some of the high e... | |
| Static electricity affecting sound reproduction. Please help!! I always walk over to my rig and touch the metal posts on my rack before I touch any gear. I permanently smoked an expensive power guard (Monster brand) with a static charge one day, not good. | |
| Five year plan: downsizing I hate being the guy that is contrary. You have collected some nice vintage gear but pick what YOU want to keep, sell the rest, and buy a modern tube integrated and a very good pair of loudspeakers and really move up a couple of steps. | |
| Eldorado Reissue Not Recieved Not to stray too far off the topic but I always thought Eldorado and Face the Music was recorded out of phase, left vs right. I've played it with one side reversed and it sounds better. Is it just me? | |
| Amplifier stability with very low impedance, high efficiency mid/tweeter section??? ...low impedance of 2 ohms. Would this be a problem for most amps? It can be a problem. My rule is that if the loudspeaker gets into the 2 ohm range I would want to match that with a very robust amp that boasts about its low impedance perform... |
