| In praise of isolation. Try hanging everything from the ceiling. Assuming you have strength from ceiling mounting, every piece of equipment may benefit. Previously, did this with cd players, amazing! I've heard of people hanging speakers with great results, TT's? I'd tr... | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? I've never built any system in nearly thirty years with a set percentage of budget for any particular element in chain. I've always started out with amp/loudspeaker as package deal, whatever loudspeaker I started out with required certain type of... | |
| Western Electric or Takatsuki 300Bs? @jaytor I have seen a few instances of Takatsuki failure over the years, not really enough to concern me greatly. Don't recall any instances of WE failure. I do agree warranty of great importance, but this dependent upon how hard tube run in any ... | |
| Tonearm adjustments on the fly As mentioned earlier, Easy VTA with my Jelco TK850L, I also have Pete Riggle VTA setup with Origin Live modded Rega.tonearm on another table. | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? Couple times a year love to take out highly modified (just as my home stereo equipment) 2011 Mustang GT vert, top down listening to streams through Ifi IDSD signature and highly modded car system. This in no way approaches home listening, noise fl... | |
| Western Electric or Takatsuki 300Bs? Well, it did come down to Takasuki and Psvane Acme for me. I'm sure I've seen more consistently good reviews of Takasuki vs. the reissued WE | |
| Western Electric or Takatsuki 300Bs? Why limit yourself to these two 300B. I have custom built 300b monoblocks, considered the two you've listed and Psvane Acme, Linlai Elite, Audio Note, EML, Elrog. In the end I recently placed order for the Acme, will likely try others in future. A... | |
| Why Do Schumann Resonators Work? Audiophiles are not likely to have the expertise to answer your question. In doing my research prior to purchasing SR I found the scientific 'evidence' for health benefits laughable. I didn't purchase my SR's for lowering of noise floors/blocking ... | |
| I agree with Keef Freedom is a confounding thing, self censorship, attempts to rewrite history and control the narrative, being hypocritical are just a few of the rights I observe being practiced in this thread thus far. | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired Donnedonne, funny you should describe thread as wonderful and nuanced, reflects 005 sound quality as much as owners of 005. Have to say I've only had enjoyable interaction with other 005 owners, just not enough of us at this juncture! | |
| RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . . Not so sure some of tough guys on social media forums aren't also some of the most argumentative person to person. I've known a number of 'banty roosters' in my life, they'll cut you in person just like they do here. A couple of these guys were/ar... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired This is not Spring dac. He is comparing Holo MAY LEVEL 2, which has exact same usb implementation as KTE version. | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired Lack of dealership is part of Musetec business model, likely part of price/performance factor. Having said that I purchased mine through Apos Audio out of San Francisco, they no longer carry. Shenzhen Audio still sells, they are trustworthy IME.S... | |
| Is The FM tuner obsolete? If you live close to college towns, student and/or university sanctioned FM stations can be good sources. I have a number of these choices, one specializes in purely student choices, really all over the place, widest range of genre ever experienc... | |
| RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . . I've been on audiogon since founding, this forum has evolved/devolved just as forums in general. There's always been differences of opinion, in years past certain decorum expected of people, little bad language, much fewer personal attacks. Those ... |
