| Learned something new today and it isn't good. @onhwy61 I have been trying to find out, but so far no luck. I have the Cambridge Audio CXC transport. | |
| Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there? @hilde45 I feel for you trying to get actual realistic comparables to Schiit products from this group. Happens every single time someone asks for advise on equipment purchases that fit within an actual budget. "Let them eat cake." | |
| I Was Stunned @roxy54 What about racks made by plumbers? | |
| Learned something new today and it isn't good. @maxwave My Lumin D1 has it as well, but it is not an automated function. If you have a CD that requires "de-emphasization" you need to turn the function on in the software. @onhwy61 I know it has stopped. My concern is that many of the best ... | |
| Boxes Just like owning a lawnmower, keeping equipment boxes stopped when we sold our home and moved to a condo. I am just not willing to use valuable square footage for something I may never need. | |
| HT and 2 channel in same room? 1 or 2 systems? In hindsight, it might have been advisable to have this discussion prior to buying both systems, but hey, fecal matter happens. Like others have said, having an integrated amplifier with home theatre bypass look after all the two channel output, ... | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? I like Elton John. I like John Coltrane. I like Tool. I like Bryn Terfel. I like The Mills Bros. I like most music, but..... I don't particularly like hip hop. I do not like rap. I am getting old too, but it is more about not being able to... | |
| The Dope from Hope... So, I am supposed to send my money to the guy who owns Klipsch? That's pretty funny. Who do I look like, Dennis Moore? | |
| streaming and audiophile stereo @jasonbourne52 Yes, there are possible issues with the quality of streaming files, but there are no guarantees with physical media either. So much is dependent on the quality of the mastering, the production and which version you happen to buy.... | |
| 2 subs connected to a 2 channel amp? @johns21 Easiest solution would be to purchase REL subs and use their included speakon cables. They connect directly to the left and right speaker terminals, so each terminal has one speaker and one sub. Just make sure to read the REL recommend... | |
| Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds? @czarivey I always wonder why some people opt for dumping on someone's personal opinion instead of just ignoring it? Especially when that person states that band "kept me going through the toughest period of my life". It's just comes off as nee... | |
| Raised Towers Depends. Do you do your listening while standing up? Considering that tweeters are generally designed to be at or around ear height, no I haven't. That being said, I have seriously considered elevating one of my subwoofers. Because they aren't d... | |
| Speaker to RCA I had a similar issue. I wanted to have a home theatre system and a two channel system. To achieve this I needed to replace both my AV receiver (Cambridge Audio CXR 200) and my integrated amp (Simaudio Moon Neo) because I needed an AV receiver t... | |
| Really expensive systems that sounded great? @kenjit "Yet the drivers used probably cost a few hundred bucks at most. Shocking isn't it. only a fool would spend so much money. The hifi companies know this and thats why they set their prices so high for people like you." Interesting way to... | |
| Little Richard, Big Mama Thornton and BB King Can You Suggest Best Albums? I have no idea, but when I need to get an idea of the relative quality of a certain artist's albums, I use |
