| Klipsch Cornwall IV I was surprised when the store employees started dialing in song selections from their iPads. There was a McIntosh turntable in the room and I had brought some vinyl, but at no time did the store emps ask about it or offer to play. They said they ... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @wrm57 my space could easily accommodate the CW4s. It's just a matter of finding the circumstances to audition them at my place. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV In this room, the Cornwalls were tightly cornered with little to no space between front and side walls. A McIntosh MA352 was the amplification and some streaming/iPad platform was the source. I have the feeling these speakers weren't presented as ... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I've owned Triangles before. These Cornwalls in this room just seemed too muddy and smeary. YMMV | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Okay, an update. I had the chance to listen to the Cornwalls today at The Sound Room here in st. Louis. It was a Klipsch Heritage event complete with artisan whiskey tastings. Impressions: the room was nicely treated acoustically. And Much Too Sma... | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... @andy2 Legit curious question: What more than 1's and 0's constitutes digital signal? | |
| Interesting thought How many young people, like 27 and under, care about what bourbon they get when they go to a bar? | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... I've never bought into the directionality myth. Blind tests over the years indicate I cant tell the difference when the directions are reversed, no matter where the arrow is. I align the arrows just to assuage my OCD, but that's all. The same with... | |
| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? I think this thread answers the question of the "Where Are The Young Audiophiles" thread.The Millenials suffered through the Great Recession and a huge increase in college tuition; disposable income for many of them is illusionary. Gen Z's are con... | |
| Turntable Isolation +1 for MC. I placed Nobsound springs under my VPI HW19 and they made a world of difference. Much cleaner sound;; and a deeper sound stage. I had to make a commensurate adjustment in the sama, but it was all good. A highly recommended tweak. | |
| Analogue Productions announces May 21st release of ultimate Kind Of Blue LP Look, I have several vinyl copies of KOB, including a 1959 OP with only several clicks and pops here and there. I get the idea of a re-release with better sonics, trust me. But this is nothing but a cash grab for a select audience. And yes, unfort... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @reubent yes, and you're right in that it doesn't capture the magic of the early-90's indie vibe that NAD and Ride and others created. "Godfodder" is a classic of the genre. | |
| If a blind guy can use a Rega Planar 3 ... True. I had one made for my vpi HW19 | |
| If a blind guy can use a Rega Planar 3 ... The P3's dustcover is removable. I keep mine on out of convenience's sake. However. if you're hankering to upgrade, trust yourself to muscle memory for whatever you get. | |
| Do you care about car audio? Yes! In fact, I’ve been leaning more and more to having a good amplifier installed in my 2019 Kia Sorento , then subsequently having better speakers put in. I drive a lot and thus listen to tunes (downloaded, streaming, or CD) way more than to new... |
