| System forclassical music They need to find a good dealer in the area because when you get to in wall speakers you are talking a lot of custom cutting and wiring that is going to require a lot of effort maybe even suggest to them a professional custom sound and lighting bu... | |
| Fluids.... I can say that you can make your own that will work as well as any out there because they all work about the same and all of them usually have about the same ingredients. You just save a lot of money making it yourself sometimes 10 to 20 times less. | |
| Fear of volume control There is a right volume level for every recording and when you achieve that volume you will have a magic balance for sure. Another consideration is that there is also a right volume for every room in addition to this and usually they work together... | |
| Amp keeps shutting off I am going to say this as nice as i can but a lot of today's so called high efficiency designs have severe impedance dips in the bass and it is this reason that i believe that the amp is shutting off because low power consumption small amps do not... | |
| Considerations prior to your next purchase I am just going to say that judging good sound does not require perfect hearing, you can still tell clarity, dynamics, tonal quality, and bass response with less than perfect ears for sure. | |
| CDP or DAC? Both work equally good just a matter of preference but if budget is a problem just go with the transport and dac because it leaves you with more options and price points. | |
| Sopra 2 Bass You could measure the problem areas of your room speaker match with a test cd and an spl meter to find the best location or you could buy the subwoofers to augment the low bass, but each is a compromise because it is usually the power range that i... | |
| Is it worth replacing an old amp? It all depends on the match between the amp and the speakers it could be better or worse, it is always a question until you try it and listen to the change whether good or bad. | |
| Dagostino hd momentum, is lack of rubes a problem? A solid state pre amplifier has always sounded better to me with a solid state amplifier i always hear a bad impedance mismatch when i have tried to mix the two types, tubes and transistors. | |
| Emotiva I took home the third version and that it was good for the money and well built but inside the fourth version i am not so happy with the build quality anymore total redesign for sure. | |
| Where do you put your money? i would say 0% on room treatment, music would be 50%, and another 50% on gear because i was blessed with a good room for music listening. | |
| Tube Preamp - What to buy? What you are looking it are good choices audio research is the best tube pre amp i have heard the other was a used audioprism, which is another alternative to the others also a good used sonic frontiers would also be an option. | |
| Lay Off the Newbies! I would always suggest twenty year old gear because that was the last of the good stuff made before the change to all surface mount computer parts in everything. | |
| As you have moved on, are there any items you remember fondly...or most fondly? My most fond memory is discovering a dealership that sold all of my vintage speakers to me that is sadly not any longer in business but i can say that i am so happy that i found the dealership because i acquired dream sound that i would never want... | |
| Spring-Loaded Screw Turns Drywall Into Sound-Absorbing Panels The only thing i can add is that you could use those for a false wall in front of your existing wall filled with 6 inches of insulation to really deaden the sound a massive amount. |
