| 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... | |
| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? I'd agree room would be first thing. Second could be wrap horn rather than change amp. I can only tell you the horn on my Klipschorn went from ringing like a bell to sounding like a damp rag. I tried everything from tiny to large amounts of variou... | |
| Member Almarg passed away last night I'm out of here at times, sometimes for long periods. Upon return, noticed Almarg posts disappeared, didn't know he had passed. He was always one I respected, both for his knowledge and his steady and kind demeanor. He also treated novices with re... | |
| older CD transport vs newer ones. Don't agree with Georgehifi, tons of info on this very topic all over the place, many reasons why rip could sound better than cd played over transport. Doesn't mean it always will, but its not unusual that it does. | |
| Dedicated 20a lines, 125 feet distance, which gauge wire to run? I use 10awg on 75' lines. The problem with anything bigger is you'll have issues with fitting onto vast majority of AC receptacles. You'd probably have to use sub panel for the larger wire, then run 10awg from there. | |
| Streamer vs. new mac mini for 2 channel system tvad, I don't have direct answer since my RenoLabs switch has built in LPS. Prior to switch, I fed NAS and server directly from router. I can say adding an LPS to router was very worthwhile upgrade, continue to use on router since addition of swit... | |
| Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy OCD guy pretty much like most humans. Recently heard the average human tells ten lies a day. Does that mean I should no longer trust any human? No, I'm willing to listen, there may still be accurate information to be gleaned, in which case its ser... | |
| Capacitor Assuming he didn't change any values, no. I'd not go with less voltage rating than stock, and impedance values should stay stock or very close as they were chosen for a reason. Heat can be an issue for some film caps, certain materials such as pap... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope Ideas and opinions are increasingly obsolete as humankind evolves/devolves. Innovations in human communication means we all have more than enough information to become expert in whatever endeavor/debate we choose. Experts tend to become enamored w... | |
| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? Individuals may have different capacity for what they perceive as brightness. For sure OP running wrong amp in wrong room, tube amp and some room treatments a good start if keeping Klipsch.I have 1989 Klipschorns, had to redo the whole thing, but ... | |
| Capacitor Prior to burn in, I generally hear what I'd describe as an uptight sound, lack of transparency, also, excessive attack , attenuated decay. I'm not going to generalize about tonality, timbre. For sure you'll know when they reach burned in state, of... | |
| Critical listening and altered states How about if I hire a robot for the objective listening, it will disabuse me of my emotional connection, aka delusional pleasures of connecting with the music. Millercarbon reminded me the machine/robot doesn't hear. In that case I have to do the... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope That's why I've not purchased a robot. | |
| FYI RE: FedEx Delivery Signature Update (new signature policy) What I'm talking about is the ISR. | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope The human hears differently than the machine. but then I could get a robot to listen for me and report on sound. |
