| Audiophiles and De-cluttering -- your journey toward both psychic and sonic improvement @devinplombier Speakers reproduce sound. They either do it well or they don't. I have both a HT setup and a two channel setup in my condo and both work fabulously because of the HT bypass setup. The only thing they share are the two main spea... | |
| Audiophiles and De-cluttering -- your journey toward both psychic and sonic improvement @devinplombier "Which speakers excel at both 2-channel and HT duties?" Not sure what you mean? Any speaker worthy of using in a two channel setup is going to be overqualified for HT, as most of the sound in a HT comes from the centre channel. | |
| McIntosh MCT cable issue Maybe McIntosh's DIN cable is not doing what it should. Have you tried using the coaxial output instead and seeing if the problem disappears? | |
| Listening What do I do while I listen? My best guess would be: 1. Sit and listen. 60% 2. Cooking. 30% 3. Miscellaneous. 10% | |
| Collectibles signed by musicians. What do you have? I have a copy of Sarah McLachlan's first album,"Touch", that she gifted me in 1988 when she was just 20 years old, along with a copy of "Blue" that Joni Mitchell autographed for me. Throw in autographs from Buddy Rich, Woody Herman and Billy Cobha... | |

| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles @deep_333 Leave the ports and build them into the front wall. Cover each one with a photo-printed fabric screen and voila! totally hidden and total WAF. | |
| Looking for specifications headphone output specs Yamaha CX-A5000 I checked the user guide and although they reference the headphone jack, they provide zero information as to its specs. I did however find that your AVR has some sound settings that I have never thought would exist. Such as settings based on what... | |
| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles There are plenty of ugly speakers, but Tekton has made it their signature trait. Is there something wrong with considering aesthetics in the scenario or am I missing something? | |
| Let's talk about Silver... Both times I tried silver interconnects, they were a little like chewing aluminum foil. Although, that seems a little HARSH. ;) | |
| What would you save in a fire? Interesting question. I am divorced and my cat passed last year, so it's down to "things". A couple of hard drives, my passport and a few family photos and mementos. Add in some artwork and ceramics and that's about it. All the audio gear can... | |
| Who is Roon? @mapman "It’s a common problem these days that people use the sins of others to justify their own sins" The problem may be due to the fact that we are in short supply of positive role models. We live in a time when vacuous TikTok "influencers"... | |
| Who is Roon? @mapman "Luckily Musk is OUR oligarch having immigrated from South Africa. Lucky us!" Why would you assume that an expatriate oligarch, or any oligarch for that matter, has any national loyalties at all? Perhaps if money and power were a count... |
