| Question about Shunyata Power Conditioners I’m using an Everest, which is nothing more than two Denalis. Look carefully at the technology difference and you will see why the Denali is more expensive, You want NR cables from Denali to components. The Denali is capable of drawing lots of ... | |
| McIntosh Integrated MA-12000 Better Use Tone Controls or Wear Hearing Aids I now realize that I’ve been wasting my tweeters on the Sabrina X. Adjusting the 10kHz equalizer totally changed the presentation. I had thought that there wasn’t much energy in the 10-20kHz region, but I discovered that there were violins, even i... | |
| Dedicated Room After you fully educate yourself, you might be in a better position to negotiate with your wife. In my case, I gave my wife something that she always wanted and she ignored the credit card balance. So, don’t just give up before the game is even ... | |
| McIntosh Integrated MA-12000 Better Use Tone Controls or Wear Hearing Aids The obvious answer to my question is to try it and I will starting today. What I don’t have is the ability to try and compare a top level hearing aid to without aid and equalizer active. I’ll just have to pay to play. Thanks for your feedback. | |
| Dedicated Room Here is a link to a thread where I asked about long wall speaker placement. Speaker Placement in Narrow Room I ended up placing speakers against short wall, but my room is wider. I think that you could make a good case for listening in near fiel... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. Like many threads, so many people coming from so many places. What I got from this thread is that it is best not to judge/advise others on financial matters. The primacy of a good acoustically treated/treatable listening space is a very important ... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. With that budget you should be able to go digital only and rival many analog systems. | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated @chrisryanhorner Ok .. A year plus ago my budget was 15-16K. I purchased a McIntosh MA-12000, but suffered with room placement in that the equipment rack is between speakers, whereas a preamplifier and separate power amps would have allowed for ... | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated @chrisryanhorner Over the last almost ten years you have barely posted. What’s up? Are you thinking of upgrading your system? Where are we going with this thread? Answers to such a non specific question are questionably useful. Comparing speci... | |
| Taylor Swift Concert Prices Here in Texas moderately popular Korean KPop girls group, “Twice” have mid priced tickets at $200 each. More popular groups like the boys group TxT go for much more. Both are cycling through my area over the next weeks… both daughters going to T... | |
| I am just very happy with my system. Is there a “Catch 22” somewhere in the OP’s post? | |
| Cable differences -- power, interconnect, digital, and in what order? Btw .. Companies such as Shunyata and maybe Audioquest are small enough that you can call and speak to some experts. I found this type of input to be invaluable and quite interesting. | |
| How Do I Transfer Spotify Playlists to Qobuz Thanks for the help. I moved my Qobuz to the family plan and everyone has transferred their Spotify playlists. I just wish that Qobuz would support Apple Watch so that I could get rid of Apple Music. I leave my phone at home when my dog takes me... | |
| Ethernet switches the good and bad @blisshifi I did notice that for some time you have had lots of Synergistic Research on your virtual system. I’m game for upgrading my Ethernet, or maybe adding a new power supply, but just added $13K of gear to my gym without wife’s approval an... | |
| Ethernet switches the good and bad Is there a downside to cleaning up the signal right before entering your streamer? I have an inexpensive dumb switch from Amazon and cheap commercial CAT 5 in the walls of my new house. I couldn’t get the builders to upgrade the Ethernet cable. ... |
