| What affects front to back depth in room/ system? Interestingly, I came across this video tonight. I swear Paul can read my mind sometimes. After watching Paul’s video, it sounds like what I’m hoping for can be found in a surround sound system, but that’s not my cup of tea. I’m becoming a bi... | |
| What affects front to back depth in room/ system? Thanks for the replies so far. I'm going to get a photo up tomorrow so you can see my room/setup. @baylinor: For 3 years, I had the system setup with speakers on the short 15' wall (rooom is 15x20). I didn't understand why at the time, so I bought... | |
| Tube Rolling I am using some of Upscale's "Kevin's stash" Gold Lion 12AU7's and they sound great with 0 noise. They have a warmer sound than some of the others. Over the years, I have probably purchased @20 tubes from them. I've had very good experiences buyin... | |
| What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself? I treated myself to a Hana Umami and immediately purchased more vinyl. @fbgbill I have that same Aja on the way. Glad to hear it was worth the $. Next week they are playing with the Eagles here in Los Angeles. | |
| Audiophile Boston pressing? I just bought a mint Japanese 1976 1st pressing on Vinyl and it is horrible. DO NOT BUY! I'm going to find an original 1st USA pressing now. | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions I went from a SET 42wpc (Line Magnetic LM-805ia) to Atma-Sphere Class D monoblocks and an Atma-sphere MP-3.3 Preamp. Life is good- no regrets. I don't think I'll be going back to tube amps anytime soon. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I was shopping a while for a Schiit Loki Max, but ended up trying the Schiit Lokius instead. I only need a tiny touch of EQ and this did the job nicely. I did some a/b with and without the Lokius in the signal path. There is degridation in the sou... | |
| Tidal or Qobuz I have both TIdal and Qobuz. Tidal for years with the "master" account. I kept seeing videos and people saying Qobuz sounds better, so a year ago I also signed up for Qobuz. In my experience, Qobuz is the CLEAR winner (as far as sound quality goes... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? Fine. I'll follow this discussion. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @docroasty Thanks. I'm glad you like it. I can make another one to sell to you, but we will need to discuss the details. Please DM me if you are interested. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing I do have a question that, hopefully, @atmasphere Ralph might be able to answer: I was watching a YouTube video from REL about connecting their subs to class D monoblocks. They recommend connecting their red wire to the amp’s positive speaker pos... | |
| XLR cables for a reasonable price? @j-wall I was going to wait as well, but I came across a nice deal I couldn’t turn down on a MP3.3. I’ve only had integrated gear until now. This is my first set of monoblocks and first time using a separate preamplifier. I’ve gone through lots o... | |
| XLR cables for a reasonable price? @soix @marco1 @j-wall I'm also enjoying an Atma-Sphere MP3.3 with Class D's. I wasn't certain about this balanced/ XLR deal coming from RCA's my whole life, but all I can say is that I'm done with RCA's. I hope I never have to deal with them aga... | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? I'm with @fuzztone: Speaker placement is #1. Home auditions #2. | |
| Help and opinions needed on pre-amp situation Thanks again. It was happy with the sound on the first day. It's settling in a bit and sounds even better on day 2.😁 |
