| Do Plinius amps have high frequency anomalies? I own the SA-100MkIII. Instead of experiencing sibilance and a slight tilt in the high frequencies, I got a smooth tube-like midrange with a treble that's just right. It depends on the speakers you are driving with the Plinius. The Plinius has a d... | |
| You're probably listening too loud The recommended guidelines set by OSHA is mainly applicable at the workplace, probably in construction sites where most noise is present. With sound levels approaching to those levels, employers are encouraged to provide protectors such as earplug... | |
| You're probably listening too loud One can listen at high volume levels but the real question is how long can the ears tolerate that. Constant exposure to loud music is malicious to the ears in the long-run and can be a cause to tinnitus. Of course there is no harm in having a blas... | |
| You're probably listening too loud Very well written. I always have a tendency to turn up the volume to hear more into the recording and ended up listening too loud. That's where frustration sets in and the listening session ended much earlier than I thought most of the time. I'm g... | |
| Distortion on piano recordings? Advice appreciated Abucktwoeighty, thank you for your response. Your ears are fine. In fact, it was my mistake to make that comment without covering all bases. On that particular night of listening session, the amp was powered up for 1 hour from cold. Apparently the... | |
| Distortion on piano recordings? Advice appreciated I also experience this with Fourplay's CD "Heartfelt" track no. 6. I often listen to music at moderate to high volume levels and got panicked when a few notes on the piano at a given passage got out of tune and distorted. I thought the speakers' d... | |
| buzzing from speakers Kijanki, I agree it depends on what we're touching. I was referring to the metal casing and switch at the front panel of the amp when I mentioned it is unlikely the component will be damaged with ESD when touching them with bare hands. I wouldn't ... | |
| Small sub PMC TLE1 has dual 6 1/2 inch drivers and a flat frequency response down to 22Hz. It's not a square box but a slim rectangular box that may fit your criteria of being small. It pumps out quality bass with the internal Bryston amps rated at 150W and... | |
| buzzing from speakers Occasionally I also encounter this electrostatic discharge phenomenon when I touch my amps, mainly because of the room that has carpet floor and thick fabric seats. I don't think the amp will be destroyed for this, but one thing is for sure -it ai... | |

| Supra Sword speakercable: Thanks for chiming in Astock. It was much appreciated. | |
| SonusFaber GrandPiano Center Speakers I have owned the Sonus Faber Solo Home which has the tweeter on top. I have no other center speaker for comparison but agree with the poster above on the lack of volume for dynamic passages. Nevertheless, voices on the Solo Home are quite real and... | |
| Supra Sword speakercable: Any other comments on the Supra Sword speaker cable? I need to get another pair of speaker cables for my 2nd pair of speakers and have read good things about these. There were comments that the Swords equal the Nordost Valhalla in terms of speed a... | |
| Oppo 981 vs 983 Which Has Better Picture Quality? Thanks for the information on up-conversion via component outputs. Unfortunately I have no other choice since my projector and AV processor/amps are all obsolete with component and DVI only, and I don't think I'll change both the projector and amp... | |
| Oppo 981 vs 983 Which Has Better Picture Quality? Thanks for the response. I have not called Oppo but have noticed the 983 has been discontinued. I'm trying to solicit some opinions here before I decide on which unit to get. I already have 3 cheap DVD players and was thinking to get an Oppo to im... |
