| Should I bypass my Shunyata Hydra power conditioner? I've had a Hydra Model 8 power-distribution center in my system since 2005. It is plugged into a dedicated 20 amp circuit. I only have my mono blocks connected and they sound slightly better than plugged directly into wall. The model 8 is not c... | |
| What affects front to back depth in room/ system? I went on the search for greater depth and have concluded it is a bit of a myth. My speakers are 4' off front wall and 3' off sidewall. My side reflections are treated. I have a fabulous sound stage and very holographic sounds. There is depth b... | |
| Ken Fritz article Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental health condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others. Are you diagnosing a deceased person wh... | |
| Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained? Synergy is a ghost and you will never know if you're there. My first high end amp was a new Audio Research design with matching preamp. After a couple of years I upgraded the pre to an Aesthetix Calypso. Huge improvement in SQ. One would have ... | |
| Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained? @frankmc195 +1 The industry is designed to keep us always searching for more. Then it makes it extremely difficult to get there (inefficient market with imperfect access to information). | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results From a Valin review of the MSB Reference DAC. I use this DAC in my system with no preamp. I run my phono pre into its extra balanced input. Get the same results as describe by the reviewer; "I’ll let MSB explain its preamp module (and if you h... | |
| Ken Fritz article Just another WP hit piece. | |
| Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained? There will always be something better than you have. Once you think yo’ve got there you’ll bet bored and want more. Learn to be happy with what you have. | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice Wilson Sabrina X or Magico A-5 would be safe bets. Moreover listening at dealers is way overrated. Not your room or electronics. I've owned many speakers that I choose from reviews and manufacturer reputation and was NEVER disappointed. | |
| Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore! @aldermine You are spot on with the manufacturer supported "listening hubs" throughout the US. I have often thought that would be the solution to the paucity of dealers. The reason it won't happen is it would likely kill off the remaining dealer... | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. @ja_kub_sz I have never encountered an error message on my subs that have now been in service for over a year. I have talked with Perlisten in the past and they are responsive and helpful. As to a high pass on a full range floor stander I unders... | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. @ja_kub_sz. When I upgraded my speakers and no longer needed them in my 2 channel audio system I put them in my Home Theatre system. Mine are the D212's so are not comparable but I love them in this application. They replaced my M&K 350's. A... | |
| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. @rolox What was the purpose of your comment? Was it to provide important insight into a product or to congratulate someone on a new purchase? Why would you insult people and then say enjoy. Do you feel better when you do this? | |
| New classe delta preamp and classe stereo amp? I own the Delta monos and the older mode ampsl. Love them both. I drive my Wilson Alexx V's with the Delta's. Fan noise is a myth. Very reliable. I will say when my HVAC system comes on I can hear that. Highly recommended. | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? @jl35 That assumes markets are efficient. High-end audio is the poster child of inefficient markets! That is what this and other similar threads should focus on. Its not how much we have to pay for a particular piece of gear rather do we get what... |
