| To couple, or not to couple, that is the question @millercarbon I couldn't have said it better myself. No, really, I couldn't have. Thanks for the vote for intellectual humility. I'm still trying to close the gaps in my knowledge base. Its a work in progress. | |
| Speaker upgrade @grislybutter Excellent question. I retired in 2016 as a Klipsch dealer. About a year before my retirement, Klipsch was attaching a rubberized material to the front of the horn bodies in their Reference Series speakers. So, it looks like someone... | |
| Speaker upgrade @grislybutter At the end of OPs opening comments was a request inviting comments and suggestions. I was responding to that request. My "comment" was that IF the OP was leaning towards the Klipsch but wanted a little different sonic character, ... | |
| Speaker upgrade @doyle3433 The fact that you have Klipsch on your prefered list indicates to me (at least), that you value high efficiency and, perhaps, have some level emotiional attachment to the brand and/or vintage American nameplates. All valid reasons for... | |
| Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room? I agree with the OP’s premise. Plus or minus a couple of decibels. | |
| The Killer Has Died I can understand why many are conflicted here. Separating "the person" from their cultural contribution is not an easy task. We never feel quite right about being complicit about bad behaviors, regardless of an overwhelming number of positives rel... | |
| Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation? @lou_setriodes i have a greater appreciation now of what NEC brought to the world of high performance audio. thanks again for sharing. | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? @chattaudio Yeah, those judges could get a little persnickety A little Car Audio Nationals story from the late 1980s. We were pretty proud of one of feature cars. It was inventive, tastefully done, and I was a serious home audio guy. So, I ... | |
| To pricey @hifiguy42 You win. | |
| Pleasurably better, not measurably better @erik_squires "I think there are a lot of people who want to play at being scientists or engineers when they defend their technocratic positions on audio." I believe that there are many who are unwilling to acknowledge that there may be gaps in... | |
| Pleasurably better, not measurably better I think culture, background and training are at play here. Those deeply engrained in the scientific and engineering communities are disciplined to defend their positions with hard data. It’s part of the culture and for valid reasons, when the goal... | |
| So I was changing a lightbulb last night… The hum at 60Hz coincidentally creates a pleasing even-ordered harmonic when played in conjunction with the first cut of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album. Make lemonade out of lemons? | |
| What should I upgrade first on my budget system? @digsmithd +1 | |
| What should I upgrade first on my budget system? @coryb Room treatments are pretty boring. They just hang on the wall and not much fun to play with. But, as other’s suggested, I’d make these the #1 priority in your upgrade plan to improve sound quality. I’d hang a better cartridge on the end ... | |
| Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation? @lou_setriodes Looks like you've exposed some gaps in my knowledge base. Glad your experience with the NEC gear was a possible one. I've now adjusted my opinion towards NEC with a little help from my friends. Thanks for the comments. |
