| 18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers Two subs is better than one, and four are better than two as long as the subs are somewhat comparable as are the F12 and F18. Of your options and if it’s viable I’d put a swarm of 4 F12s at the top of the list. Best of luck. | |
| JPLAY ? Qobuz iPhone I installed mconnect on my phone. It does not see the Hegel. It’s been a while since I did this, but you need to get mconnect to access your Qobuz account probably through Settings somewhere if you haven’t already. Then on the right side ther... | |
| Preamplifier sound Quality impact in home theatre bypass +1 @facten I’d be more concerned about burning all those tubes for HT. | |
| Thoughts? - First Watt F8 / Vandersteen Treo's When Atkinson measured the original Treo he found relatively benign impedance but sensitivity of 82.5dB that was even lower than the stated 85dB spec. I wouldn’t drive those speakers with your amp. | |
| Hum mystery to me Did you try running table 2 through the phono pre if possible? I’d try a cheater plug on the phono pre just to see if that eliminates the hum, and if it does maybe someone here smarter than me can help you troubleshoot for a more permanent soluti... | |
| JPLAY ? Qobuz iPhone You can get the mconnect Player HD app that only costs $6. | |

| Market Stabilization? Completely misinformed and clueless on global economics among other things. Thanks for bringing up unrelated topics nobody asked about and that don’t belong here. | |
| Esoteric Amps with Revel Salon 2 Speakers The Salons are very neutral so the choice very much depends on what sound characteristics you’re looking for, so if you share that critical info you’ll get much better recommendations here. | |
| Market Stabilization? Vinyl and CD sales have been on the upswing for quite some time now; just check out the industry trade publications, increase in number of pressing plants, etc. @larsman Not sure what numbers you’re looking at, but this just flies in the face o... | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k You won't be able to hear a difference. Yet another highly useful comment from The Flat Earth Society. 🙄 | |
| Market Stabilization? Well, I haven’t noticed since I haven’t bought any physical media in years but suspect prices, with the possible exception of vinyl that’s a relatively small part of the market, will continue to fall as more and more people embrace streaming music... | |
| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s Unfortunately I’m only familiar with the Ultimate line, and all I know is a couple others here got the Grand headphone cables and were really impressed and happy with them relative to their prior cables. Looks like the Grand is only like $90 more... | |
| Ideal Qualities of a CD/SACD Transport If SACD isn’t a must have I’d put Jay’s CDT Mk3 on your list — built like a brick crap house and it’s “only” $5k. Best of luck. https://www.jays-audio.com/cdt3-mk3 |
