| Do you listen to your music with your eyes open or closed or a combination of both? When I’m paying close attention to the music, I tend to have my eyes closed and the lights dimmed. I think that by reducing other sensory inputs, my focus on the sound is heightened. I am an amateur musician, and when I play guitar, it is often w... | |
| Are EL34 based amps more musical than KT series based ? Or it's purely a matter of design? IMO purely a matter of preference. I have sets of both, but generally lean towards the EL34 sound… finesse over power 😉… | |
| Subs? +1 for multiple subs. If your mains go very low, like your 804 D3's, you're stuck with trying to balance two issues: imaging (driven by speaker placement) and room modes (dictated by speaker placement). You would be incredibly lucky if your soluti... | |
| What does your Virtual System page say about you? Thanks, @ghdprentice ! | |
| What does your Virtual System page say about you? @macg19 Ain’t nothing wrong with being a 3! | |
| What does your Virtual System page say about you? OK, finally listed a Virtual System https://www.audiogon.com/systems/11907 Thanks for the push, @ghdprentice @jond and others. Please forgive the messiness; this is a temporary location and I’m just not putting any work into clean cabling / ro... | |
| What does your Virtual System page say about you? @carlsbad2 You are assuming all order is a conscious decision. Subconscious could be enlightening, too. I know some people who stock their pantry all labels facing forward, and some who are more haphazard. May not be a conscious decision, bu... | |
| What does your Virtual System page say about you? OP, Get out your phone and take a photo, post in the virtual system area. Takes only a minute. you can post a new photo with each change. It would be fun to watch. @ghdprentice I will do so this weekend. Thanks for the push. | |
| What does your Virtual System page say about you? @newbee Doh! I didn't think about just listing my components, without pictures, as you did. That would solve my "too messy to photograph while moving too frequently" problem. Maybe I'll add a virtual system soon... I also wonder if people who use... | |
| 220v / 110v - Anthem STR Power Amplifier Another vote for using a transformer. Be careful on Amazon, as there are a lot of junk products that do not carry any safety certifications. I have been happy using Krieger brand products. They are UL and CSA certified, and utilize toroidal tran... | |
| Axiom to remember +1 @gdaddy1 ! | |
| Speaker Jumper/Link Cables - Best Ones? Nordost Valhalla, Tara Labs Omega Evolution OR.. I had bipolar speakers in the past. Lithium helped immensely. 😜 | |
| Which Schitt Audio Equalizer operates as a loudness switch for low level listening Another happy Loki Max owner here. If you have a remote for volume control, you’ll want a remote for your “loudness” control, too. Similar to others, I started with approximations to a few Fletcher Munson curves stored as presets on the Loki Max, ... | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS +1000 Fletcher Munson It's settled science. I bought a Schiit Loki Max a while back. I use one preset that resets everything to zero change, where I can twiddle the knobs to adjust poor recordings. The other two I have programmed in different ... | |
| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System The package arrived today, and, as it was superbly packed by the vendor, it came through in fine shape. @mike4597 Glad to hear it arrived safe and sound. Here's one more data point on USPS Priority Shipping and Tracking, from sending my tax ret... |
