| Subwoofer splitter help Just use a Y splitter, with one cable going to each sub. Single sub outputs are summed. | |
| Sub cable length? Electricity travels at the speed of light, not much time difference between 6 feet or 60 feet. | |
| Schiit Saga+...What’s the point of the tube? "...I’m not into tube voodoo after rolling these tubes and engaging tube buffer mode vs. “normal” mode. Makes me question the value of tube rolling in general..."You have limited experience with vacuum tube audio. Although the Shitt does have a tu... | |
| enough amplifier power "...The golden rule is that your amplifier should be about twice as powerful as your speaker can handle..."I’ve never heard such a rule. The reality is you need an amp that at a minimum gets the job done. But if you like to really jack up the volu... | |
| enough amplifier power It depends what you are trying to do. Play chamber music late at night or trying to make the neighbors move? I ran a 350 wpc amp for over 2 decades, Just sold my 400 wpc amp, and I still have a good 200 wpc amp on hand but most of my systems now a... | |
| Subs for magnepan 1.6qr In the right room with the right positioning the 1.6 almost has enough bass for most music. How about a Magnepan DWM bass panel? | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. "...In evaluating equipment never trust your first impression. repeat the comparison over and over until you are sure..."Long term evaluation is the standard for audio comparison/evaluation and why blind tests and ABX are often fruitless. | |
| Best stands so baby doesn't knock speaker over My favorite story is my pal that had a nice stereo and a small child. The child pushed open the CD player, put a big handful of oatmeal on the tray, then pushed the close button. That was funnier than watching tweeter domes get pushed in. | |
| New Amp Choice Nick,A good soundstage is produced by good loudspeakers and proper placement. I'm guessing your placement is the limiting factor at the moment. | |
| Faulty hearing. "...russ69, you seem to know more about this than any one. Is it possible to get perfect hearing with hearing aids?..."Maybe I should not post this but I have completely lost my hearing in one ear. I have recently had cochlear implant surgery. The... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. Doug,I once had a pretty good ear. I have been a practicing audioguy for many decades now. In all my years I have only had two occasions where break-in and warm-up was audible to me. One was a pair of Klipsch loudspeakers that on startup were near... | |
| Cary SLi80 amplifier - Effect of power tube exchange 75ma and the Gold Lyons and you should be GTG. Give it a chance before you do something different. | |
| Does Anyone Use a Portable CD Player as Their Source? I did once a long time ago. It was not very impressive but it did play OK. The batteries would only last 2 or 3 plays and they would be used up. | |
| Upgrade from Rogue Audio Sphinx v2 "...I also got recommendations recently for a Musical Fidelity M6si..."I support this message. | |
| Is This even possible There are very few records that have the bass on one channel. More of an early 60s thing but the engineers learned it was better to put the lows on both channels and split the output. |
