| A Better Way to Buy Gear - Help Needed I wouldn’t buy expensive equipment from anyone with less than 100% positive feedback. | |
| Cabling Recommends Simaudio Ace/Totem Forest Great! Look forward to your impressions, and definitely do a free trial of Tidal or Qobuz asap. Love your speakers BTW. | |
| Different Types of Spade termination ie gold plated copper, or other metals combos Though meaningful I wouldn’t so much focus on the plating on the spades as much as the overall sound of the cables. I’d also wait until you get the new equipment and it’s broken in and then see what sound characteristics you’re looking for from c... | |
| Looking for recommendations If you can do 8’ cables I’d consider these used Acoustic Zen Satori cables with their jumpers (from The Cable Company) along with this Silver Ref II XLR interconnect that’d be about the same price as the Straightwire cables. I’ve had both the Sato... | |
| Usher Mini Dancer 2 or Q Acoustics Concept 500 - Marantz PM Ki Ruby Back to the Ushers. It’s been a weird experience so far. You're gonna think that I am crazy but it sounds very different on different days.. Some days, they sound like a dream.. extremely natural, magical and musical…Also, i'm not sure if the Ph... | |
| Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ? If you’re going to the effort to make what I can only assume are meaningful upgrades to a product to the point that they warrant a new model designation, how long does it take to at least update a product web page to tell people what changes were ... | |
| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION I just realized the newest Rhumba 1.4 is fully balanced and at $5k with a 14-day trial period that’d be where I’d go first. | |
| Usher Mini Dancer 2 or Q Acoustics Concept 500 - Marantz PM Ki Ruby Any updates/thoughts as they’ve had more time on them? | |
| Is it wrong to leave my amplifier on all the time I left my Class A/B amp on most of the time over 20 years and never had a problem, and I’d only turn it off if I was leaving the house for more than a couple days. The impact on the electric bill was minimal, and it was really nice having the sys... | |
| Not sure what to think If I was you with your system I’d definitely try a tube preamp if you’re open to that. You’re most likely to hear bigger differences (and benefits) versus your Krell, and the tubes tend to last a long time in preamps and typically not very expensi... | |
| room setup suggesion needed How important is back wall setback for the front ported speakers ? As @newfzx7 mentioned, you will get less bass reinforcement for all speaker types by moving them father away from the back wall, but the key is finding the position where the s... | |
| room setup suggesion needed Experimentation is key, and the good news is it’s free. As @ghdprentice recommended I’d pull the speakers out further from the back wall and closer together, and try decreasing the toe in of the speakers so they fire just to the outsides of your ... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations We have however found that the mix is such that music significantly impairs the vocals. I assume you mean that during movies the dialogue gets obscured? If that’s the case then a center speaker could probably help. If you’re looking at only a... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations If you can both sit close to the sweet spot you might get away without a center speaker, but if anyone will be off center a center speaker is pretty much mandatory. That aside, your biggest shortcoming for video/HT is not having a subwoofer, whic... | |
| Quandary $300 just to demo the amp, and it’s not even the right amp??? You gotta be kidding me. The prospect of making a nice sale should be plenty for him to let you try the amp for free especially if he’s really so damn confident your system would “sound... |
