| Tube Integrated Amp Recommendation A lot of people like Cary amps for the sound characteristics you’re looking for. Best of luck. | |
| Cary vs Raven @ghdprentice +2. The Klipsch are very different speakers from the Totems so you may be looking for different sound characteristics from an amp. Plus, you can get by with much less power with the Klipsch that may open up more options. | |
| Time, Wear, and Technological Evolution Congrats Ed! Usually takes many more tries to reach this level of satisfaction, so it’s great that you seem to have nailed it on the first try. Enjoy! | |
| Sub $1000 DAC with AKM chip @hilde45 Big +2. Go by what sound you’re looking for, not just the chip. | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday I don't see what you're objecting you re: my comment about playing the tune as a I/IV/V, given that it was just an opinion. @stuartk Apparently he can have his opinions but you’re not entitled to yours — hypocrisy. Good grief. | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday If you think someone is saying something inappropriate, you can ask them what they mean before getting angry. @tomcy6 First, I’m not angry — I just merely said I take issue with the assertion that Clapton took “ownership” of the song, which is ... | |
| Integrated Curiosity Depending on how much power you think you need, here are a couple Hegels that are reputed to have very high damping factors… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650063339-hegel-h190-sealed/ https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650056688-hegel-h36... | |
| Obvious Epiphany I had them on spiked feet for a while but that made them very hard to move. Now they just rest on flat bases directly on the carpet. How that affects sound quality I don’t know or much care since it makes speaker positioning so much easier. You... | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday LOL! GOOD GREIF! Soix- Simply MY observation as a 50+ year guitar wanker.. Weird YOU start a thread, and make such a comment. @tablejockey I made such a comment because it was a poor choice of words, even for a guitar wanker. Clapton neither pr... | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday There’s plenty of great blue guitarist doing their cover of Stormy Monday, and there’s Eric Clapton taking ownership of the great T- Bone Walker classic. @tablejockey I take issue with you saying Clapton was “taking ownership” of the song. That... | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday @stuartk @zlone Great song! Definitely has a haunting feel about it that’s accentuated by Ginger Baker looking like a drumming corpse. | |
| Anyone got good result from pairing Hegel power amp (H20/30) with non-Hegel preamp? The key question is what improvements/sound characteristics you are looking for. | |
| Obvious Epiphany Man, as I said before life is too short to deal with stuff like this, so again I’d recommend another preamp that has a transparent balance control — some things are just worth paying for, like pure enjoyment and sanity. I know the Atmasphere MP3 a... | |
| Surround Theater Speakers Suggestions A friend of mine used in-ceiling speakers located a couple feet behind the main seating and it worked really well. Being in the ceiling produced a nice, distant, diffused sound that blended very well and produced a very enveloping and immersive e... | |
| Sub $1000 DAC with AKM chip Sorry to disobey your wishes, but I’d suggest reading this review of the Musician Draco that’s an R2R DAC. The reviewer is well versed in the various single-bit chip DACs and so is in a good position to provide a helpful perspective. Plus, if yo... |
