| What is the best 2 channel listening chair? @juanmanuelfangioii I am a bit of a minimalist and love my listening chair I bought at Ikea It's a very good listening chair. Try the foot stool for a little bit more comfort, best combo I have found. | |
| Upgrade path direction Upscale has the Lintons on sale with free stands right now. | |
| Rogue 100 dark Maybe I should post asking for a 75 wpc tube amp that will give me that tubey sound. I would recommend a Prima Luna amp with EL-34s or maybe 6L6 tubes. That is where good tube magic happens. I have EL-34s in most of my tube amps. Edit: The EL-... | |
| Harmon Kardon Citation 12 Amp with AR 9 LS Speakers: OHM's Question The Citation 12 will be fine. I'm pretty sure it puts out more than 60 wpc. That was the amp that taught me 60wpc is enough as long as I didn't want to play louder than comfortable levels. | |
| Rogue 100 dark With a SLP-98 and proper speaker placement in a good room, you should have everything you need. The benefits of tubes happens after you have everything else sorted out. I'd look at setup rather than gear. | |
| Stoked their are sound buffs like myself... Sounds like you need some new loudspeakers? | |
| Help me choose speakers If you can't place your speakers for best performance, you are just stuck with what you have. You will still hear an improvement with better loudspeakers, but you may be far from optimized. | |
| Connections of Kimber Hero Unscrew the other end and look. I think that is possible on Hero? | |
| Speaker cable recommendations Can't go far wrong with audioquest type 4....audio advisor will make you a pair however you like. Balanced/neutral cable for not a lot of money My goto standard. | |
| Alternatives to B&W 805 D4 With Mac gear, Triangle Theta Signature on the right stands, placed properly, and with a good subwoofer. I don't think Mac and B&W would be a good match. | |
| Subwoofer with Floorstanding Speakers? Your Nova Vs go to 32Hz, but that is already down a few db. So yes, there is information below that point, lots of information on some records. Although 32 Hz is pretty good, lower than that is better. | |
| What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly? What defines the best cable? To me it's the best sounding cable for the application. | |
| Recommend Halfler XL-280 Repair/Restore/Rebuild ? That is, would the $1000 necessary to create a "new" amp in the old chassis be better spent on a newly manufactured amp? Yes. | |
| I am out of the loop for knowledge on high end auto music systems A tune and a good exhaust will do the trick.... | |
| To Blind Test, or Not To Blind Test, That Is The Question Long term evaluation is still the gold standard. Lots of hours with lots of different music. Short term testing or A/B blind testing is prone to error. You can't evaluate a car by just pulling out of the driveway, you need to speed some time with ... |
