| Looking for speaker wire (bi-wired) suggestions for two types of speakers Just my opinion but a single run of the next level cable often sounds better than two runs of lessor cable and both at similar cost. | |
| Then and Now There's clearly a difference between Then and Now, but Then doesn't sound all that bad. Sometimes systems sound different from each other but that doesn't mean one is better than the other necessarily. Sometimes they are just different. | |
| Schitt Loki Max Do you think we’re seeing the end of people spending money on cables as tone controls? No, not by a long shot. The key is to get your system to sound as good as it can without any equalization and once you do that you pretty much figure out you... | |
| How Big of a Difference? ...Your kit may not be resolving enough to highlight the difference ... I'm thinking this. | |
| Compact Disc and Vinyl Habits I have most of my LPs from the 60s and 70s but when the CD came out I converted over. I rebought just about everything I had on vinyl. I liked the uninterrupted and quiet playback. | |
| Has Anyone Tried Bendix 6094 Tubes to Replace EL84s? Upscale has some nice selections of EL84 tubes. I bought two sets of white box RCAs years ago and still going strong. | |
| Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation. Quality is: "The lowest acceptable quality". Do not discount the Chinese they are finding the sweet spot of acceptable quality. It will only be a short time before Chinese hi-fi dominates the market. | |
| Schiit Aegir pre-amp recommendation I run LS50s, they could use some power and some top end, not the right choice for tubes, IMHO and I'm a tube guy. | |
| Turntable repair It's a direct drive table, clean, lube, and as oldhvymec says, a new cable. gtg. | |
| Schiit Aegir pre-amp recommendation Parasound New Classic 200. With LS-50s you don't need any tube softness, you need accurate with a good top end. Good remote, thin unit, and MM or MC input. | |
| Words and Sound But what does a world-destroying robot need with diapers? Klaatu barada nikto. Is Klaatu a robot like me? | |
| 30 to 50 watts seems to be all I desire My minimum is 60 solid watts per channel. That will work at my listening levels, less with more efficient speakers. I only need more when I'm trying to impress someone, not for normal listening. | |
| 3 Outputs to Bi-Amp You just need one output and some Y connectors. | |
| Subwoofer question I keep yapping about ’stereo pairs’ of subs, front facing, no ports, locate adjacent to mains: giving/preserving bass directionality, by virtue of both the fundamentals and overtones of those fundamental notes. Some of the best statement system... | |
| Klipsch Forte I Way back they would stamp the serial on the bottom back panel, IIRC. |
