| Mood @zazouswing : “a poorly recorded first song left a bad taste for all that followed” Exactly what happens to me a lot. @cdc “Did you play the same music the next morning?” Not at first but soon thereafter. | |
| Mood One thing that I’ve noticed is that if something sounds bad it can put me in a bad mood so that I don’t enjoy the following things I play. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I’m going to get a new subwoofer amp delivered today. When it’s installed I’ll let you know. | |
| Did anyone else disconnect thier equipment due to the geomagnetic storms? I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but a power surge destroyed the subwoofer components of my GoldenEar speakers. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I’ve always heard that one subwoofer is okay for a system. What’s different about my situation is that the subwoofers are built in to my speakers. Theoretically. that would mean the subwooferless speaker would not reproduce the lower frequencies ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados The sound of the Triton 1’s is so unbelievably rich and detailed with one subwoofer that now I’m worried that when the amp for the second subwoofer gets installed. the sound won’t be as good. Also I spoke too soon regarding the relative SQ of ana... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Since bringing my speakers into phase (even with only one subwoofer!) the sound is maybe 90% better. It’s really hard to believe the difference. Not only that, it’s changed the equation between analog and digital. Now analog is sounding palpably ... | |
| Surge protector Only one amp blew. I didn’t plug the other one in. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I would hate to tell you how many years I’ve been listening to my system out of phase. It’s since I bought the Conrad-Johnson pre. What a revelation to hear everything anew! It’s like the best upgrade I could buy. VERY SAD! | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados On reading the manual carefully. It appears you are right. My technician, unbeknownst to me inserted them the correct way. I got lucky! | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados The difference in sound I achieved by reversing the channels was nothing short of revelatory. Check the section on “absolute phase” https://conradjohnson.com/owners-manuals/pv11man.pdf | |
| Surge protector To answer the questions: The amp itself is not working. GoldenEar is sending a complementary re-placement. Yes, the light on the amp flickered and went out after being plugged into the wall.. The amp is internal. Can’t take a look at the back. ... | |
| Surge protector No, the Extreme Voltage light didn’t trigger. ‘And it’s still not working when plugged into the wall. |
