| Options to improve digital sound @mihorn "All current digital players and DACs sound veiled/glared." Interesting. So how long did it take to listen to every digital player and DAC? | |
| Dealer affiliations and attitudes, assumptions and lack of respectful engagement in audio. Since my retirement, I have made a concerted effort to rid myself of what I saw as "flaws" in the way I lived my life and interacted with the people I love. It wasn't that I was abusive or someone that never got invited to dinner. It was just me ... | |
| When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall? "contrary to ghd prentice there are a wide number of power conditioners that don't limit current at all" Contrary to audiotroy, I would rather trust ghdprentise's opinions on any audio-related subjects, as he isn't motivated by profit. | |
| Experience with stacked subwoofers? @emergingsoul You sound like you have no practical experience with the use of multiple subs and are merely parroting outdated information. Adding a distributed bass array consisting of four subs (not stacked, but distributed throughout my liste... | |
| New vs uses in your current setup When I was younger and still working it was maybe 80% new. Since retirement I have improved my digital setup and upgraded almost everything else, but it is now 90% used. Having a fixed income isn't conducive to losing the depreciation when I upgr... | |
| What exactly is critical listening? Who does it? @bolong Maybe you should change your name to "@bonglo"? | |

| McIntosh mp 100 Phone Preamp Problem.... Blinking Red Power Button Why not just contact McIntosh? Unless you would rather take the scenic route, of course. | |
| Does cover art of an album or recording influences your purchase? Of course the cover art influences my initial choice. My entire life is influenced by aesthetics. Even if they were more comfortable, why would I wear brown shoes with a tuxedo? Call me shallow, but even if they were the best value for the mon... | |
| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables I am curious why "there’s no way to change it", in regard to your needing one more foot. Perhaps there is a solution that you haven't considered. | |
| Home-Made Multi-Subwoofer S.W.A.R.M System "...and no, I don't think they'll do much for 2-channel music listening, but they are a home-run for home theater." I own five subs. One for home theatre use and four for my two channel setup. A swarm is typically used for improving the accura... | |
| Real musicians don't need "awards." The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is just as valid as the Hollywood Walk of Fame. (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.) | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @spenav Had a look at your setup and your solution with hanging a panel on the TV seems to be a more practical (and less expensive) solution. If I make it so it can either hang the panel on a French cleat situated above the TV when I am using t... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers I am planning to use a pull down TV wall mount that is built to allow a TV mounted above a fireplace to be pulled out and down. Instead of mounting a TV on it, I would mount a diffuser slightly larger than my TV that would be above the TV when I... | |
