| Is Recording quality the real culprit? As long as you take a passive approach to music reproduction through your system, then yes. You are stuck with the sound quality baked into the source. My approach to music listening is more reactive, so I do what I can to compensate for poor prod... | |

| The Audiophile Song - Who Can Relate? LMAO! It's as if my wife had a music video commissioned. | |
| How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use? @emergingsoul Actually, the pool accounts for only about 10% of my electrical demand since I switched my main pump to a variable speed model, but it's still a 3HP unit, so power hungry at full speed. (There's a separate 1.5HP single speed pump ... | |
| How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use? Large two-story in hot desert climate plus big pool --> 2,266 KWH last month (1759 KWH off-peak + 507 on-peak) | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change @deep_333 Agreed. I think you reach a point where, you become so used to a particular sound that the thrill is diminished. That's when you begin thinking about changing it up again. I run my system as a "playback studio" that enables me to change... | |
| DSP? Does it really do that much??? @emergingsoul There isn’t a system on earth that couldn't benefit from prudent use of DSP, because there’s no perfect room, and there are no perfect transducers. Not at any price. With that frame of mind, why did you buy the thing in the first pla... | |
| DSP? Does it really do that much??? @emergingsoul DSP computations are complex and extensive. Still, the automated corrections are overall much simpler and quicker to perform than a manual approach, as well as more accurate (assuming you’ve done it right). Sounds to me like you’re... | |
| DSP? Does it really do that much??? +1 @mapman DSP is incredibly beneficial to music reproduction when done right. Done wrong, it can destroy the experience entirely, and most users unfortunately don't learn its nuances well enough to do it right. Also, while DSP is a wonderfully ... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love Two previous models of Emotiva pre/pros. Sounded fine but buggy as hell and slower than Christmas to respond to user inputs. | |
| Titanium Voice Coils - where to get best price? @audiokinesis Thanks for clarifying. That is entirely different from what he asked and makes much more sense. | |
| Titanium Voice Coils - where to get best price? Why? You do realize that titanium exhibits extremely low electrical conductivity, don't you? | |
| Audioholics Gene is legit. His opinions and mine don't always agree, but then, neither do anyone else's. 😉 | |
| Does anyone know where to get a Rega P8/P10-style dustcover? Have you looked on eBay? Here's a brand new Rega D/C for sale...

| A little deeper on amp power please.... I have always found the sound from any given pair of speakers to be smoother (less grainy and more natural) when driven with larger power amps, regardless of listening level. This impression was less pronounced with tube equipment than SS gear, du... |
