| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding 1. Rap 2. Hip Hop 3. Perhaps 80% of music released after 1980. What am I missing? | |
| Why are people paying these stupid tube prices? @mulveling "Yes, it is a prevalent pattern to get to see folks rolling rare vintage tubes into cheap chi-fi or even cheap Schiit amps, especially headphone gear. ....... On the upside you can buy their tubes after they move onto the next flavor ... | |
| Why are people paying these stupid tube prices? @oddiofyl "Maybe if people didn’t buy $200 headphone amps and burn up rare tubes for mediocre sound we wouldn’t have this problem" I believe Marie Antoinette was of the same opinion when she said...... "Let them eat cake." This sort of arrog... | |
| Why are people paying these stupid tube prices? @music_is_life I must agree with @ketchup . I had no idea what your original post meant until there were subsequent posts to help decipher it. | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? I am one of those DBA devotees and I feel that a distributed bass array, by its very nature, mitigates a lot of the difficulties inherent in single subwoofer integration. Unlike single sub placement, it is almost impossible to screw up a DBA. | |
| SVS sub owners, Past and Present I have the SVS SB2000 as well and it has not done one thing to disappoint me. I am beginning to suspect it's cheating on me. | |
| Cable curmudgeon Well, it looks like you know everything already, so there's nothing much to say. Have a great day. | |
| How accurate are cable descriptions for your system? I look at it as just another opinion. For a lot of components there are multiple reviews and when an opinion is asked on this forum, everybody and his dog has a different recommendation as what is the "best". Add them all together and if you don... | |
| Lose weight or buy better fitting pants @jpwarren58 No offense, but your idea sounds a lot like the things I dream up after too much of something combustable. Rock on dude. | |
| Onkyo has filed for bankruptcy I would never be anything but sad that a company and its employees would lose their jobs, but I would also never consider Onkyo as anything but a minor purveyor of low quality components. So I am very sorry for the company and its employees, but t... | |
| Is there a DAC ranking list? | |
| which is a better speaker @mike317 "well I got 8 replies thanks for your time however nobody said anything I didn't already know the only thing I learned is that there is a bunch of crabby old guys on this site. Oh yes I myself am 65 but I hope I don't wind up like you g... | |
| Question On Connecting Multiple Sources to TV, DAC, and Power Amp Perhaps you should stop using THD as the deciding factor. I haven't paid attention to it since the 1970's. Soix is correct. You need to invest in a modern AVR and use it as a hub for all the components. Personally, I use Anthem, but there are ma... | |
| Two vs four subwoofers for music playback Adding 4 subs in a distributed bass array was the single biggest improvement in the overall sound of my system. Fixed most of the issues I had previously with small room acoustics and put a big smile on my face. My cat loves it. | |
| Honest Experience on Effects of Subwoofer Please Adding a distributed bass array consisting of three Rel subs and one SVS sub, corrected 90% of the issues I had with the low end in my system. The low end became "real", instead of uneven and limp. Previously I tried adding one sub, but it did ver... |
