| Surge protector I recommend this unit. It's been working wonderfully for me. https://www.crutchfield.com/S-Abe790BIk50/p_756ELT15PF/Furman-Elite-15-PFi.html | |
| Leaving tube amps on. If I’m stepping away for an hour or two, I leave it on. Longer than that, it goes off. The room is so well insulated that leaving them on when not in use heats up the room. | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @pindac You err in assuming that I am brand loyal. I have listened to a number of cartridges over the decades. It’s simply that none moved me to make a change. If one did, I would have made the change. That said, after the Onyx was gifted to me,... | |
| Listening Room @immatthewj My background listening was limited to earphones and a Walkman while doing 20 laps around Prospect Park on my bicycle or some such thing. Now I don’t do background listening at all. when I put on my audio system, I sit and listen. | |
| One answer to an oft-asked question. These days, I don’t hear much new music. It’s all that I can do to keep up with the music I have. When I do hear new music, it’s usually because somebody recommended something to me. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I used to have the top of the line DBX equalizer. I no longer need it. I have two BBE Sonic Maximizers. When used properly - discreetly - they subtly alter the phasing of the signal. The effect is to give more punch at the bottom, more crispness ... | |
| Mood I have the same experience. Yes. Mood matters. | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? - I will be 70 in 8 weeks. - My hearing is normal for my age, some mild roll-off above 4Khz. - I have tinnitus caused by arthritis in my jaw, cervical stenosis. - Since listening is as much a skill as it is a physiological phenomenon, I don’t expe... | |
| High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? I run a pair of 101db 16 ohm 15” coaxial Altec 604Cs with a pair of NYAL Julius Futterman OTLs, converted to triode and rated 135 watts each. It’s worked for me for 39 years. | |
| Listening Room My wife has resigned herself to my dedicated, treated listening room. That said, it IS in the attic. 🤔 That, or it goes smack in the middle of the living room, where it used to be for 40 years. 😬😆 @gents I have a chair in the sweet spot. I move ... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? Still going strong. Oy. Impressive. | |
| Analog2Fidelity At Munich High End 2024 Introduces Worldwide Koetsu Rebuilding Service Around the :30 mark of the video, Art says "I brought Koetsu in around 1995. Before then they hadn’t been distributed". This is not true. I bought a Koetsu Black new in 1985, in New York City. Either from Dave Wasserman at Stereo Exchange or from... | |
| Analog2Fidelity At Munich High End 2024 Introduces Worldwide Koetsu Rebuilding Service @jwpstayman I think that I found him on fb. He is of Asian descent, even though his name is Italian? Which might explain why he is connected to Koetsu? | |
| Analog2Fidelity At Munich High End 2024 Introduces Worldwide Koetsu Rebuilding Service @jwpstayman I have exchanged emails with him. He says that he is a B2B business. I frankly don't understand why a middleman needs to be added to what is already an expensive proposition. Even if VAS only gets you 90% there - for the sake of ar... | |
