| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery The point of my comment isn’t simply that I don’t care enough about that which seems to be nonsense (I tested a pile of SR fuses years ago and reported my findings...they’re dangerous and useless (the fuses, not my hallowed comments), it’s that fe... | |
| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery Since I’m clearly too lazy to follow what seems like more florid hyperbole and pseudo science regarding fuses, I’ll simply state again that when people I respect in the high end audio business (Nelson Pass, Stoddard and Moffat, Bill Low...etc.) st... | |
| Sviatoslav Richter. Greatest pianist of the last century? As Frank Zappa once said...sort of..."It's not a pushup contest." | |
| ReL Subs: High Level or Low Level connection I attach 2 RELs together with AQ screw-on spades to attach to the amp, currently a Pass XA-25. Low level inputs on the RELs have never interested me as you need long RCAs which are generally a bad idea, and the high level makes more sense. | |
| Plugging rear ports of "bookshelf" speakers? I think taping a kazoo in each port is the way to go. | |
| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? Baloney. Well recorded acoustic drums sound like drums. Period. I've spent decades as a pro musician recording, live concert mixing, and putting great microphones here and there and sometimes not putting them anywhere at all (Kenny Wolleson asked ... | |
| Vibration Control In home audio you are beset with so many vibration issues created by playing music it's really best not to listen to anything. It's simply not worth the risk. | |
| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? I’m a jazz fan and especially a jazz drummer fan...current drummers like Tyshawn Sorey, Bill Stewart, Bryan Blade, Dave King, etc...not yer grandaddy’s drummers, and you can easily hear the kick in balance with everything else. Also note that not ... | |
| Thumper’s Mother So now we have courtesy monitors? That's something I automatically rebel against and hopefully so do some of you. | |
| MQA....again. If my system gets any better my head will explode from the extreme wonderfulness of it. Nobody needs that. | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? Note that you can't in good conscience enjoy BOTH analog and digital. Nope...you gotta take a stand! I happen to very much enjoy my trusty old Linn/Akito/Ortofon MC analog, my new-ish Cd player, and streaming. Am I enjoying things too much? Am I i... | |
| Thumper’s Mother I say keep it real and say whatever feels right. If you can't stand some forum heat once in a while you may want to keep your fragile little self outta here. Otherwise, after having seen a lot of silliness and some interesting info in here over th... | |
| The Horror I think my Dennis Had SEP amp sounds better than any tube amp I've heard anywhere...cost about 1100 bucks (slightly used) back in 2017. My Pass XA-25 is the best sounding SS amp I've ever heard. About $5K or so...my rig, even after visiting Goodwi... | |
| So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about. It would be ridiculous to judge any music by sound instead of musicianship. Do people actually do that? When looking at a great painting are some simply noticing a bunch of paint colors secondary to the art quality? Hmmm...Jeff Beck kills me playi... | |
| How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ? I should have compared the damped and un-damped Heresy IIIs (I mean really...they were right there) but listened to them both post damping and yeah...they didn’t change much but damping’s an easy tweak though and kind of fun. I now have no memory ... |
