Little help with REL subwoofers, please?
Update on my experience with the T9x, last night's listening session relatively large expansion of sound stage, and bass starting to loosen up and gaining in impact. These improvements due to burning in of every single component from 10/2 Romex ti... 
Little help with REL subwoofers, please?
My take on subs is its far more about personal sound quality preferences, room, and main speakers than the subs themselves.   The fact is I've enjoyed the db or low level input type subs with certain recordings and times of day I chose to listen... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
Why choose, I run both.  
Little help with REL subwoofers, please?
@northman  As I mentioned previously, I'm not seeking a sub that brings attention to itself, have had that in previous subs, my take is that type of sub is for home theater setups or bass heads. I want my subs to be invisible, simply an extension... 
Little help with REL subwoofers, please?
I've tried a number of subs over the years, even with dsp could never get coherent sound with main speakers. With dsp the problem wasn't so much with boom, but rather timing with main speakers, always a step behind or slow, once heard could never ... 
What to do with a large collection
I have same dilemma, deal with hassle of cataloging and pricing individual cd's and vinyl or selling in bulk. For the vinyl I've done a bit of cataloging and discovered a few highly valuable recordings, would hate to let those go for pennies on th... 
Must read/enjoy for 300B.... and all tube lovers
Great read, thanks for the post. Now I fully understand the reliability issues with the earlier Elrogs, was always interested in purchasing, too many reported failures kept me away. Coincidentally, I was also running AR SP9 back in same time fram... 
Klipsch Lascala II bin separation
One possible issue with this is speaker manufacturers voice their speakers in stock configuration, and that may be superior to diy mods some of us undertake. I've tried a multitude of footers over the years, they all have unique sound qualities. I... 
Klipsch Lascala II bin separation
Makes sense,I'd expect isolating mids and highs from bass bin cabinet resonances would result in greater clarity. I modified my Klipschorns years ago, getting rid of top bin altogether, mid driver mounted to Volti tractrix horn,  tweeter mounted t... 
Audio Research SP9 family
Generally, I don't like to criticize components, but the MkIII I purchased many years ago was without a doubt the most disappointing audio component I've experienced in over more than thirty years as audiophile. Low resolution, transparency, just ... 
Allnic Audio A-6000 vs Pass XA 30.8
I had similar experience recently with Pass XP22 pre I had purchased as possible replacement or backup for Coincident Statement MkII (Psvane WE101D) with a few other non-factory mods. Noise floors/resolving very similar, Pass the slightest more ex... 
Do people tire of audio forums?
Many great comments here. I agree this forum is a reflection of the larger community or world we live in, forums by their nature a more impersonal community. I don't know how many others feel this way, but whenever I get nostalgic about the good ... 
Do people tire of audio forums?
@ticat In many cases this may be best route, why add pithy post, may help to decrease the fatigue.   For popcorn and hot dog lovers, I used to enjoy the show, even engaged a few times. If its a new topic this can still provide entertainment, but... 
Why don't we tire of music?
Beach Boys song, "Add Some Music To Your Day" says it all.  
Do people tire of audio forums?
@knotscott Spot on! Between individual preference and plethora of available equipment, topologies, rooms, etc. every situation unique, makes it more difficult to find commonaliity. I recently decided against selling my 1970 MGBGT when out of this ...
