| Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty” @newtoncr, Have you heard the Charney gear in another system/room where it overcame the issues you're describing? Have you played everything enough hours for break-in yet? Cheers,Spencer | |
| ROOM DAMPING - CHOOSING THE CORRECT SUPPLIERS AND MATERIALS @pmreagan2 ,So are you saying your speakers are setup along the 55' wall and you're firing 15' with your ears only 2' from the back wall? Excessive brightness will primarily require treatment at the first and second reflection points of the tweete... | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? Soundlab speakers. The star in my solar system! | |
| Fleetwood Sound Company I have no dog in this fight, but feel that the conspiracy theorists about OMA don't know what they're talking about. These guys have been building and selling extreme high end stuff for ages. Their Technics SP10 plinths are highly regarded. They h... | |
| Should I try XLR? @68pete +1. @bluorion,Yes it's accurate to say, balanced cables will generally provide an advantage over longer runs than single ended cables. Sure, the firm "snap" connectors provide a physical advantage over RCA connectors.But the big advantage... | |
| New TTW belts arrived- haven’t been this excited about rubber since I was a teenager! lol, well played, Sir! | |
| Brilliant Video proving MQA is not what they claim. @milpai Have you considered Qobuz? Seems like many are moving from Tidal to Qobuz over both what you stated and a better selection of high rez minus questionable provenance. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Recommendation for Dac for streamer I meant to add Aqua La Voce as well to the post above, but edit function wouldn't let me... | |
| Tracy Chapman - Similar artists & their albums +1 Joan Armatrading. Her self-titled 3rd is a career highlight(especially the super analog recording on vinyl). Both of her compilations, Track Record and The Very Best of would serve as tremendous introductions.Maybe a bit of a stretch, but anoth... | |
| Capacitor Message @dgarretson, the King of Capacitors for his input! Cheers,Spencer | |
| Speakers for triode tube amps Devore and Silverline are two brands making great quality speakers that are designed with and for tube amps. If I was in your shoes, I'd be looking for Devore O93 or O96. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Recommendation for Dac for streamer I'd definitely add the Aqua LaScala and Formula DACs to your list at the high end of the price range and the Denafrips Pontus II and Venus II at the lower end of the price range. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Record clamp Highly unlikely that it would do any harm to the table. I tried about 10 different clamps a few years ago on my Technics SP10mkII. On that table, the clamps definitely were more impactful than the weights that didn't clamp, including some very pri... | |
| Experiences with Audio Research LS-2B @haligan343,Assuming you have functioning tubes in the LS2, just connect its outputs to the inputs of the Parasound. Connect speakers to the Parasound. Connect RCA outputs from the Apple TV to the Aux inputs of the LS2. Turn the volume all the way... | |
| Calling all Sota fans. @garkat62,While, not quite in the top $ sphere you're discussing, I did replace a Technics SP10mkII with EPA250 arm with a Sota Nova VI and an Audiomods Series V arm. The reason for the change was a cross-country relocation with a temp. housing pe... |
