| Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs? Yes, I have been temporarily forced to either listen full time to headphones or purchase a near field speaker setup because I could no longer access my big stereo system due to construction. I tried listening to headphones only for a while but mis... | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? I love the question. What you didn't ask about was the way more expensive room treatments, cables, power conditioners, isolation pads, racks, and subwoofers. Those actually cost more than the components in question in both my listening rooms. T... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! Great news! You don't need a power conditioner at all and you were wise to give your audio system dedicated 20 amp circuits. The bad news is that you have a grounding problem. That ground rod you said is just for your audio equipment absolutely ... | |
| Looking for new speakers for large audio room You really should keep those wonderful speakers and only add what your room is missing which is several subwoofers to properly pressurise that large of a room. Most any new speakers you might purchase would still need those subwoofers due to the ... | |
| How long do good speakers last? I have my great grandmother's mono tube integrated 78 rpm turntable and world radio that has a speaker that looks barely used and ready for anything I can throw at it. Yet, my 15 yo center channel speaker has a completely rotten surround possibly... | |
| The Most Digital Recording You Ever Heard The first song I heard that was "the most digital recording" was the first song I played on an iPod. The second most digital was the second song I heard on an iPod. The 3rd? You guessed it, the 3rd song I listened to on an iPod. By the 4th son... | |
| questions for georgehifi and others about powering my Wilson Sasha2s You have the perfect front end and the perfect speakers. Wilson Audio speakers sound better using their own crossover than biamped. Wilson speakers sound amazing with Dan D'Agostino amps. There aren't many amplifiers that can resolve what a dCS... | |
| How can i improve the sound of Iphone 11? I prefer my Chord Hugo 2 but when I'm traveling light I love my AudioQuest Dragonfly Cobalt. It delivers amazing sound in such a convenient small size. I bought an AudioQuest Dragonfly Red when I misplaced my Cobalt and was surprised that an eve... | |
| Hang / move large tv by myself? Is there a tool? I used my sit/stand desk to take down my super heavy Sony Kuro plasma TV and it has been my computer monitor on the sit/stand desk ever since. I originally installed that TV myself using a pair of ropes and pulleys and 2 hooks in the ceiling. I ... | |
| Office System -- Low Volume Speakers The absolute best sounding near field speakers are Wilson Audio Tunetots. You just need to find a pair at an auction where nobody else knows about good speakers, or find a pair that have "fallen off the back of a truck" but the actual drivers are... | |
| What is wrong with my system? Great system! B&W 802D are great speakers when pulled forward out into the room away from the back wall, and they would benefit greatly from a musical pair of subwoofers. If you want to keep those speakers for the long run then I would take ... | |
| I'm looking for a pair of interconnects that won't shatter the bank.... I really like Blue Jeans Cable for almost everything. You can order custom length subwoofer cables from Blue Jeans Cables that sound great and also look great. Their recommended subwoofer cable at the top of the subwoofer cable page is Blue J... | |
| To Stream or Not to Stream Jump in with both feet and I promise you will wish you had done it sooner. But keep your CDs, they are fun to look at and you likely have many that have not been mastered to digital (yet). I ripped about a thousand of my CDs before I discovered ... | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning Oh this post's title got me. I kept ignoring it but finally read it. I've heard a lot of power conditioners, as in literally heard them. If the power coming into your house was dead clean, then adding almost any power conditioner would be detri... | |
| Wilson Audio isolation footers I went ahead and purchased a couple 3 packs of the Wilson Audio Pedestal Isolation Pods and my stereo now sounds better than anything else I've tried under my source equipment, especially Sorbothane pads. Someone may eventually come up with a DIY... |
