| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? Actually, without the mods, while I might not have been in hate group, call me lukewarm. Even in stock form I could hear the good and potential for better, even great. I'm sure being long time modder allowed me to hear potential. While my mods are... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope I can understand their argument we're all just hearing things we wish to hear. What I can't understand is when they claim double blind testing is gold standard, then when not used, go to this basic science argument. In this case they completely di... | |
| Kinki studio EX-M1, EX-M1+ differences... vs Denafrips Hestia/ Hyperion combo? While I can't say anything specifically in regard to Athena, my experience with Hyperion leaves me skeptical that any Denafrips product would be to my liking. The extreme darkness, closed in voicing of Hyperion leads me to believe company doesn't ... | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? @liquidsound, hopefully you have full recovery. Covid is real and needs to be taken seriously.Recently discovered thread over at whats best forum mostly in regard to Psvane Acme series of tubes, some recent posts popping up about LinLai Elite seri... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling I'm not up on latest recipes, but I discovered Steve's original Helix page some time ago. I've auditioned many cables over the years using lending library at Cable Company, $1k to $3-4k in all categories. The Helix has been my go to pc for some t... | |
| Audiophile Priorities and Recent Topics That's what I thought you meant. I might even agree that newbies could be mislead on tweaks, depending on my assumption of what newbies might think. My issue is some posters entirely negating certain items and/or particular groups of what they per... | |
| Best Way To Maximize Preamp Tube Life? I'd never leave any tube equipment on 24/7. Some have standby mode, in which only heaters are lit, some also have soft start circuits, both minimize wear. The rest you're choosing between wear and tear from being used 24/7 or same from inrush curr... | |
| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? @audioman58 Way too much info for this thread, OP looking for simple fixes. I happen to agree with you, my Klipschorn, extreme mods.I saw OP later post. He has idea of fixing room first, this is exactly how he should proceed. He then mentioned amp... | |
| Audiophile Priorities and Recent Topics I wish someone or something would define exactly what tweaks are.Is there an objective list of particular devices or group of devices? Therefore, room treatments, cables, AC, footers/isolation, internal parts such as capacitors, resistors, etc. ? ... | |
| How much power for Merlin VSM speakers? Wow, you must listen at very low volumes! I used 845 SET amps with Merlin VSM-MM for years, all the volume, micro and macro dynamics, transient performance one could want. But a 2a3? I had 2a3 monoblocks at the same time powering small bedroom sys... | |
| Critical listening and altered states Forgot to mention subjective physical qualities of our individual brain/ears. Makes me wonder if a truly objective mind can even exist within the ascetic? | |
| Critical listening and altered states This word, objectivity, seems to be so misused these days. In regard to listening to an audio system, I could argue its used as what in reality is a subjective state. Objective listening as used here is in reality an evaluative or judgemental stat... | |
| older CD transport vs newer ones. Per Charles, yes, don't need to hijack thread, this has been discussed at length here at the 'gon' and elsewhere.For those still using cd transports, players. I discovered very early on, footers and rack solutions have relatively large effect on p... | |
| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? He needs to change only one variable at a time, changing room first may allow him to live with rest of system. If he intends on keeping Klipsch (which do have some admirable qualities even in stock form), damping the horns could be a next possible... | |
| Acoustic Revive RR888 , Chartres mk. V and Chinese Schumann resonators. I previously used two Chartres, both were sent to me clean, pristine, no issues. I used with decent LPS and power cords, they had a relatively large effect in my room and system. Mine had potentiometers, so intensity could be adjusted. I suspect y... |
