| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? "I hear no change in the sound quality from a $500 cord" "Did I throw away several thousand dollars?" How does one throw away several thousands on a $500 cord? | |
| Audiophile frame of mind Combine the two. It takes a little longer, but if you buy a new tube amp that uses a half a dozen Western electric 300B's, you can char broil a ribeye in under 10 minutes. Just make sure to be careful when you slather on the BBQ sauce. | |
| little big win The proverbial win/win solution. Nicely done. | |
| Audiogon Seller Communication Having spent my career as a sales rep in a highly time sensitive industry, I would always advise anyone who is acting as a seller to follow this rule. Under promise and over deliver. If you think you will be able to deliver the product in 2 week... | |
| Guess who has new speakers in their lab? | |
| Music first or sound first? It's always the "sound" to start, but it doesn't last long. Then the "music" takes over and I am lost. | |
| Listening position/speaker position "He suggested that I put the speakers in the middle of the room and move the listening position against the wall" Are you sure this guy is actually a friend? Maybe he was joking with you. | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? Sorry, but that is an incredibly ignorant view of how sound works. A room isn't some benign bystander. Just because it doesn't have bare walls and no furniture it doesn't mean it has no impact. The dimensions of the room itself can ruin even the ... | |
| FAKE NEWS - NEGATIVE REVIEWS NOT ALLOWED!! I remember back in the early 1970's, I bought a subscription to an ad free, audiophile equipment review publication called "The Audio Critic". Their mandate was to publish completely truthful and unbiased reviews of equipment, without the pressur... | |
| Do you live in a rural or smaller area with no Audiophile Support Nearby?? @winoguy17 Forget the mods. I don't like it. The OP no doubt meant this to be helpful and it might be, but this is a forum, not a bulletin board. I get enough spam ads in my life. I don't need more when I come here. | |
| Wall wart removal...why no products that can handle multiple devices? I believe you are looking for a Wyred4Sound PS-1. There is a base unit which you can add up four additional outputs with different voltage ratings. Three regular 1 amp outputs, plus one high current 3 amp. | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue @tylermunns I know what you are saying and I am not trying to be a dick, but "I love female vocalists." as well. I phrase it that way so the person I am talking to knows what I am trying to say. It's like having a "Best Actress" and "Best Acto... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue 100% disagree about Joni Mitchell's "Blue". 100% agree about "Exile on Main St." That was easy. | |
| DIY HiFi Just my opinion, but the site looks very sketchy to me. They advertise "brand new with warranty" ProAc Tablette 10 speakers for $650. when the actual price for a pair would be more like $2,500.00. Ask yourself why. | |
| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? It's simple. The more a turntable weighs, the better it will sound. That's why I have an amplifier with .000000000000000001% THD. |
