Sub recommendation to augment Klipsch La Scala's ???
You are getting into the area of ’the impossible match’ Horn loaded dynamic and fast bass, and trying to couple that with subs issue.Which is exactly where you are.... Tricky. Tricky at best ...and money and intelligence needs to be wisely paired ... 
Sub recommendation to augment Klipsch La Scala's ???
Fast and small, or like a fretless bass player, who wants speed and nimble in the box. That would be multiple or single 10’s in a single box. You need drivers that can go low, but still have a high acceleration factor (it’s a driver spec). This wi... 
All Kit are Band-Aids
In Canada, we have apparently asked for and received a 420 tuning.... 
All Kit are Band-Aids
So wake up and come to, however you can, or you’re not coming out the other side. And that story on the scientific proofing of the conflation of light and sound? There will be another story and report by the end of the day or next day, one as pote... 
All Kit are Band-Aids
The mid low 400’s in frequency do indeed cover a ultra critical range of wave vs particle behaviour. In either gas, fluids, or solids. eg, this is squarely in the center court of skin effect itself and as a manifestation. Skin effect in audio is g... 
Magnetic Footers
Not all good tweaks have to cost money. Generally the best don’t. How is that? Well, the best tweaks which are more ’intellect applied to the given scenario’ rather than ’expensive little bits of whatever’....are sought out by the manufacturers of... 
Am I the only one that finds the "Round thumbnail frames" irritating on classifieds?
We are designed to be resistant to change, yes. Part of our basic wiring. For better or for worse. Natural selection had it become ingrained into the design. Overall, probably a good thing, in most cases of natural world living. 
The Future of Audio Amplification
If GaN acts like a V-Fet or a SIT, then they might be on to something. The non linear gain curve of a modern transistor will generate odd order harmonics, which is where the problem in audio lies. A SIT or V-Fet, produces predominantly even order ... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Prof uses the measurement canard which is as old as it gets and is well proven to be ineffective when it comes to human hearing at it's limits - which is the subject at hand. Interestingly enough, his entire job rides on doing things that are eith...

It is designed to make sellers pay more to get their message through to you. It’s not about your dislike, it’s about beating up sellers. It’s a forced shakedown of sellers, who have to pay more to get rid of the porthole view. The whole thing is v... 
Surprised at this Chinese powered speakers for peanuts...
I looked for internal photos. I found some. They told a tale.Part of it’s charm is that the woofer design minutia has most of it done right. Which I’m willing to bet my last dollar that they simply copied those things according to how others have ... 
Relative component value to overall SQ.
So..the topic is more like, "how to land, for the first time, like a cat, on all four paws..as a newbie in audio...so one can then begin to understand the lay of the land well enough to get one’s bearings and then go on to figure things out." As c... 
is ok to use wifes new make up brush to clean styius needle
Short, fine, slightly stiff bristles, compacted together...works best. Long fibers are not desirable. You want to gently scrape away dirt, in a way that there is a very slight soft plastic fiber pressure on the diamond stylus, but no real stressin... 
What's the deal with all the spam lately?
My idea was the number and nature of complaints could be the trigger for an 'automated removal', via a slick bit of programming. 
An old Thorens TD125 MkII with SME 3009 or a Linn Sondek with Ittok ?
If you want to use low output mc carts, the Linn and Ittok is the way to go. I’ve owned at least three 125’s over the years. They normally came bundled with the Throens arm or the SME arm. The LP12 and ittok is the superior table. I’m using an LP1...
