| CD Player vs. music streaming When I had my SACD player and a Paradigm streamer (Tidal), I would listen to both. When I got a Sony ES HDD player and ripped my collection to the drive, I haven't listened to the CD player since. | |
| Shipping Heavy Speakers: Freight of FedEx I would get more details... FedEx freight? If it's LTL (less than load or less than truckload) it's going to move from truck to dock to truck a few times. Is U-ship consolidating it with other shipments? Same thing, it might come off the truck a c... | |
| Sub advice needed I've been using a Dspeaker anti-mode 2.0 as a bass pre-amp and it has a remote - I use it constantly to adjust levels between tracks. You can also use it for room correction when you add the sub. You could use MSB sub isolators to add a sub to the... | |
| Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound? I used to work in several clubs and ended up being a DJ after all was said and done. Go to Guitar Center (or any local place that does live sound reinforcement) I second some of the recommendations for Mackie, JBL!, QSC etc... There's also EV, Pea... | |
| Mattresses, not stereos is where the money is Funny, just a month or two ago we drove around to test Purple, Tempurpedic, Sleep Number, and whatever other new bed technology is out there... Conclusion: We went with a traditional Sterns & Foster. Super happy with it. All the others felt to... | |
| What is a "SHOTGUN" speaker cable?? The term varies by MFG. Audioquest calls it "Double Bi-wire." One connection at the amplifier end and two separate runs of cable to connect at two pairs of binding posts on the speaker end (you retain the full cable gauge at the speaker terminals.... | |
| ... how do I do this with an Adcom GFA-2535? With that Adcom (or a receiver, for that matter) you aren’t going to get that much power...it’s pretty low-powered (1x200 with channels bridged.) Apparently, you cannot bridge all the channels in that amp to make a 2x200 (for example.) It’s probab... | |
| Subwoofer We talking good subs or like a soundbar sub? | |
| Spikes for very heavy speakers I have carpet over pad on a concrete floor. The spikes go all the way through. I wouldn't hesitate to run them directly on concrete. Using the OregonDV xl spikes and the speaker is probably 125 lbs per. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic I ran a pair from my preamp to a Sunfire Class D amp. No issues at all. I didn't notice much difference though. I just did a pair from HDD/streamer and that produced better results. I used the metal F or Y style hard connectors. I wrapped them in ... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? Well, inside the cable is silver wire (which is was supposed to be.) It has a smudge of silicone, so pretty sure that is not the normal spec. The craftsmanship and finish are impressive. I won't have them installed until next week, but they defini... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? I (unknowingly) got a set of what I believe to be fake speaker cables from an auction site. The quality is on par with other cables from Awdio ####. There are silver and copper strands, just like there was supposed to be. The cable ends are spot o... | |
| Bi-Wire Cable Question - Can They Be Used As Standard Speaker Cables Without A Problem? I just did this and had the same questions. It works just fine. I have AQ Redwoods that were single bi-wired and I used them on an NHT M6 monitor that is not bi-wire compatible. I used AQ spades on one pair and AQ bananas on the other pair and con... | |
| Where to sell a projector screen? I listed on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. It took 6+months, but I finally sold a $1300 Da-lite screen for $100. It didn't generate much interest at all, which was disappointing. Seems that most people are going totally budget and using eith... | |
