| Speakers low pitch humming, is it normal, or real issue with preamp? Could be a ground loop. You could try using a cheater plug to lift the ground on the preamp, amp, etc. and see if that eliminates the hum. Not a long-term solution but at least you’ll see if that’s the problem and then go from there. I suppose ... | |
| Solid State preamp Brands This completely depends on what sound characteristics you’re looking for. Also, what’s your budget and are you looking for new or used? | |
| Looking to upgrade my Goldenear Triton ones. Need help When you say “better midrange” what specifically are you looking for. Better or fuller tonality, more clarity? And are you looking for new or used? | |
| Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120 If the Gryphon sounds dark to you, why are you trying to fix it with bright speakers? I’d look for an amp that doesn’t sound dark to you and then maybe your KEFs will sound great. Why are you bending over backwards to accommodate this amp? Just... | |
| JA Pulsars vs Harbeth 30.2 Nice! Great price!!! | |
| Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver Buy a used pair of Joseph Audio Pulsars (either version) and compare. It’s got a 5.5” midwoof but goes lower than the Revivals (by measurements) and by all accounts moves more air than expected for their size. The bonus is you get that magical a... | |
| JA Pulsars vs Harbeth 30.2 Congrats! I’m sure you’re gonna be thrilled and look forward to your thoughts. If you don’t mind me asking, are they the original version, how much were they, and what finish did you get? | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades It’s how they sound to you in the end. If the Tara cables sound better than comparably priced competitors with copper connectors I say go with Tara regardless. Still surprising they’d use brass though because copper spades just can’t add all tha... | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades Brass??? No. Who is the manufacturer? No reason to keep it a secret. Plenty of other good cable manufacturers out there. | |
| The Museum vs. Galleries I’d say 80% of my listening is now new or relatively new discoveries. There’s so much great new (at least to me) and well-recorded music out there I’m finding on Qobuz that I rarely feel the itch to listen to my older stuff although it does still... | |
| Anyone at home at Krell? Anyone would be upset after what has happened. However, it’s not Krell, It’s the legal process. The owner passed so there was no, "them" to let their customers twist in the wind. Just curious as what brand you are moving? @bulldogger They’ve be... | |
| Six DAC Comparison So, if I’m reading you right it seems that the Mojo has bits of both the LTA and Merason that you like without going too far and then weaves them into a more cohesive and engaging presentation for your tastes. Sound about right? | |
| Anyone at home at Krell? Nice of them to let their existing customers twist in the wind for a couple months before bothering to release this. Krell’s service was questionable before this unfortunate fiasco and doubt it’ll get better after this inexcusable PR disaster. I... | |
| speakers that are a little laid back in the mids OP, did you try pulling the speakers out further into the room? | |
| Six DAC Comparison Another very helpful and insightful write up. I know you may be going somewhat on aural memory, which is always dangerous, but how did the LTA compare with the Merason? Or am I jumping the gun and is that info you’re saving for your summary piece? |
