| I found audio nirvana.... I had a Logitech with subwoofer on my desk for years. It was better than a table radio but a long way from a very modest system based on KEF LS-50s. | |
| Giving in to my weaknesses Frankly I spend 80% of my time in my “B” 2.1 system at $5000. Absolutely this! | |
| Rogue Audio. Reliability issues? Anyone? How am I supposed to just replace one tube and throw out all that paid-for attention to detail? I guess maybe the answer is to pony up more money for ANOTHER matched quad. Feels like a very, very expensive endeavor that makes the tube game silly.... | |
| Giving in to my weaknesses I'm in the same boat and I have downsized to an integrated amp. I only did this after a severe hearing loss. | |
| Rogue Audio. Reliability issues? Anyone? It sounds like a bad tube took out some other stuff. It happens. Running tubes takes more work and money than solid state. You'll have to decide if it's worth it but $175, bad tube replacement, and shipping doesn't sound that bad to me. | |

| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? Someone is buying a $133k speaker while someone else is living in a cardboard box. And some are eating fillet mignon and others are eating a hot dog. So what does that have to do with the topic? | |
| Mini Bluetooth speaker for outdoors... recommendation-seeker... JBL Flip or Sony SRS XB13. The JBL has better bass, both work well and have long lasting batteries. | |
| Speaker upgrade for Primaluna EVO 300 - Looking to find some audio nirvana bliss! Wharfdale Lintons. Stereophile class B. Add a subwoofer and they can jam better than most bookshelf speakers and better than a lot of tower loudspeakers. Very close to the Grado sound you are looking for. Tubes or solid state will work fine. A pre... | |
| Admitting my error… Thrift stores...but you'll be looking at a lot of Petula Clark and Mitch Mitchell albums. Not that there is anything wrong with that! | |
| Infinity IRS 3 or 5 MagicMarksy on ebay. | |
| Subwoofer Popping How do I not overdrive this sub? Turn it down/adjust low frequency room correction. | |
| Subwoofer Popping You are over-driving your sub, badly. Bigger is better if the levels you want are taxing the sub you have. There are limits, you have passed them. | |
| What is the proper loudness for listening? @bobbydd I agree with everything you said. I was very loudness sensitive. I would turn my system down to the lowest acceptable level. I recommend everyone to try to do this. Save your hearing and enjoy your listening, don't try to impress or sha... |
