| Building a house Do you have a turntable that you will be using for more than 50% of your listening? If yes look at isolating the turntable. You will loose the option to move it but I had a cement pad installed into the floor that is suspended or supported by the ... | |
| Embarrassed....Audio furniture help This story is so predictable and just part of the female dna. I went through the same crap to the point she turned into the teacher from the peanuts. She would talk scream and bitch but I never heard a single word she said. Then I became so comfor... | |
| Can't believe I let myself get sucked in again. To this day is still bothers me with the riff from the analog only crowd. Yes albums have a sweet sound and tubes can bring a system to life. I have both and also still enjoy my Nakamichi cassette deck not only for music that does not exist anywhe... | |
| Better XLR/RCA adapters I have to laugh at the post who said he just bought copper and silver from China! Got some news for you. Anything coming out of China that advertises gold silver copper and so on is 75% lead fused into it along with any other garbage they can dum... | |
| Thinking of trying "vintage" sound just for fun I still have my sansui 90/90 running in my garage with bose 901’s. Can piss off the neighbors anytime I want. It’s handy being in the garage as the power supply can double as a welder when needed! | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Cheap Trick- first two ZZ Top- FandangoRory Gallagher- Calling cardPat Travers Band- Go for what you knowFrank Marino- What’s NextTed Nugent- Free for all (meatloaf on vocals) | |
| FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED If the rule does get changed it would be suicide for a quality company to start putting our false claims. Back in the “old” days there was no internet or independent resources that would call out the BS they put out. The only sources to hold the a... | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? Feel the most famous single driver speakers would be the Bose 901. Yes they had multiple drivers but all to form a single driver in basic delivery. What was the quote “ no highs no lows must be Bose”. I did and still have a pair. Need an amp that ... | |
| NOS Tubes - Ecstasy or Agony NOS is not only a marketing ploy. Tubes do have an end life to them. I would expect when I buy a “new old tube” that I can expect 100% of its life expectancy. Not 80 not 50 but 100. There is no test that can tell me this. I can run a tube for 3 ye... | |
| Amp and Pre-Amp suggestions needed I hope you are not going to fall for the watts per channel trap as the only way to measure an amps “power” and ability to drive a speaker or “load”.I could steer you to some high power quality amps that only put our 25 watts per channel that match... | |
| Best DAC For My Setup Under $10k IMO to many times people look at the wrong place when upgrading when it comes to dac’s. It does not matter what dac you are using if you are not getting the best 1’s and 0’s being sent to the dac. Yes most high end dac’s will up sample a bad input... | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? If anyone here has 68 k to spend on room treatment I will take the job. I will get it done over the top for 10k and pocket a 58k profit for my work great gig if you can get it! | |
| Which Component Has the Greatest Affect on Low-Level Listening I would look for a good class A amp that will not change over to A/B until 5 watts. Low level class A sounds really good. | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? Here is another idea as you stream only.convert your streaming links to fiber. I have not yet but have heard nothing but great reviews on this. Here is a link to look at for the company who is dedicated to this concept.https://www.smallgreencomput... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? First before you jump into the deep end of component envy.Dump tidal and move over to Qobuz. Many here including myself noticed a drastic upgrade in sound between the two. Some claim tidal has larger library but I have had Qobuz for over a year an... |
