| Experimenting with Speaker Room Placement Broadly speaking, the further you pull the speakers out from the front wall, the deeper the soundstage. My room is 14'8" x 16'6". Speakers set up on long wall. A full 3' from the back of the cabinet to the wall behind. Excellent depth. If you... | |
| Classic Over-reaction! KellyAnn Conway knows what she's talking about. Unplug the toaster permanently. But be careful to approach it from its blind side, so it can't see you going for the wall socket. | |
| Oyaide Cables There's a difference between a minimum safe requirement, and what's recommended. This guy says minimum 14awg for 15amps.https://www.thespruce.com/matching-wire-size-to-circuit-amperage-1152865 But many cable companies use 10awg for power amps or ... | |
| Is Agon becoming the eBay of audio? Are we talking about Arnie? Arnie owned a bricks and mortar shop in Ann Arbor, Accutronics, high end upstairs, used in the basement. He started selling more and more stuff on ebay. Audio selling on ebay was the model that, as I understood it, h... | |
| First Watt vs McIntosh vs Ampzilla Given that you have those Zu speakers, First Watt is definitely the way to go. | |
| Best tubes for my mc 275 Gordon gow If you don't want to venture down the deep dark rabbit hole that is NOS, Genelex Gold Lion is I think definitely the way to go. | |
| Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next? The flaw in the logic here is the expensive power conditioner. They can definitely improve some things, but cannot eliminate all the variations provided by your local friendly (?) utilities company. Beyond changes in your own metabolism/mood, th... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? All I know is that years ago, I owned Muse Model 300 monoblocks and Thiel 3.6's; I'd put on a DDD recording by DGG, and I'd have to take if off again 2 minutes later. I want a system that at the least renders most recordings listenable. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable I just don't get it. I don't understand why people get so worked up about pricing of components (cables) and--other thread--double-blind testing.Cables measure differently. A lot of people hear differences. Scientific understanding of the physi... | |
| keeping perspective on evaluating improvements '502 does not make any difference whatsoever, in any of its 27 configurations. Going back. | |
| McIntosh MA5200 hum This will work if there is actually a fixable problem with the Mc. Experience tells me that there are some transformers when fed with certain AC supplies will hum, regardless of whether the transformers are entirely within spec. Same experience ... | |
| need a 75 ohm digital coax with a 90 degree right angle plug vs RCA cable Voodoo (Cables) would likely cook one up for you, if they don't have it. | |
| Speakers least affected by room acoustics @recordchanger2018 The guy who designed the Emerald speakers moved on and founded Spatial Audio, which is his current company. Check them out over on Audio Circle. | |
| where best to spend $2-3000 upgrade dollars in my system Everyone's preferences (I repeat, everyone's) in speakers will be different. I think they inspire more loyalty and dislike that any other component. Ask a question on the internet, and 12 people will reply with 17 different answers.That being sa... | |
