| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? +1 on room first. You'll never receive full value of any system in your room. Don't color the components, fix the room, then you can hear true sound signature of your system. | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope Its been a long time since I've been flailing trying to better performance of my system. Every listening session over past few years has been pure musical ecstasy. I ended my cable auditioning quite a few years ago, present cables (and likely last... | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? @charles1dad , Yeah, Israel trashed my Linlai 101, he seemed to not know of them when I initially spoke to him, only added he doesn't like mesh plate tubes. He also told me my particular pair were bad, I had them tested on Amplitrex tester after g... | |
| Kinki studio EX-M1, EX-M1+ differences... vs Denafrips Hestia/ Hyperion combo? @dkerr For amps I have Coincident Turbo 845SET,Art Audio Carissa Signature 845SET, custom built 300B SET monoblocks, Prima Luna Dialogue Four (modded with Takman resistors and Miflex and Mundorf capacitors, use exclusively with EL34 these days), ... | |
| 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? |
