| Can I add an outboard Equalizer to my music streamer ? An equalizer won't solve the lack of dynamics that is the hallmark of compressed files. Dump Spotify and subscribe to Qobuz or Tidal. | |
| Best Way four Bass Array @jeffseight I have been using a bass array for around two years and couldn't be happier. I use 4 subs. Two Rel T5's, one Rel T7 and one SVS SB2000. They are controlled by a MiniDSP 2x4, which is fed from the pre out of my integrated. Everythin... | |
| One of the great things about Vinyl "Had I been streaming I may have not taken the time to listen beyond one or two cuts. " Does this make any sense? All things being equal. Why would the fact that the music is streamed have an effect on how many tracks you listen to? Is it that... | |
| Never heard an amp do this before, ideas? @hobbes101 This may seem silly, but it can actually work quite well. To test for RFI you can use an old transistor radio. Just turn it on and adjust the dial so it is in between stations. Turn up the volume and then use it like a geiger counter... | |
| Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs "It is up to you guys to decide what you believe the data means. " Considerably less than I expected. Almost nothing. | |

| Thinking about getting some bookshelf/standmount speakers I am using ATC SCM19's with 4 subs and I am very pleased with the results. | |

| Integrating HT and 2-channel systems @soix "and when you switch to HT turn the Freya’s volume to 12:00 and you’re good to go (just remember to turn the Freya’s volume down when switching back to stereo)." Hence my comment about the HT bypass being the proper solution. I would neve... | |
| Integrating HT and 2-channel systems @kletter1mann I had the same problem and there is only one proper solution, but like me it may require you to purchase new equipment (AVR and integrated amp) that have the required inputs. The AVR will need to be able to "pre-out" the front cha... | |
| Incredible improvement in sound quality Using Q-Tips causes more problems than it solves. When you push one into your ear, yes you will remove some wax, but you will also push some of the wax deeper into the ear canal where it eventually compacts. As my mother always said. "Never put ... | |
| Anyone Know The History Of XStatic? Russ Button (December 2000): Jason began his work on curved diaphrams before he became aware of Martin Logan. The technology and techniques Jason used to build the XStatic were all of his own design. To date there have been over 50 pairs of XStati... | |

| Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k @mihorn "It is impossible to find a great sounding gear you want in merry-go-round in audio since there is none. Only I know it because I am making better sounding audio systems. " Thanks. That's the funniest thing I have ever read on this foru... | |
| Just wow… ""Wonderful!" - if you say so Howard!" Not sure why anyone makes comments like this. The OP saw something they liked and offered it up to others, with the hope that they might enjoy it as well. Instead of saying, that's not for me and just igno... |
