| Using Martin Logan speakers with tube amps??Any experiences?? This, as with any Youtube video of somebody's rig, might not help much but I think it's sort of interesting since I own one of these amps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlR9B22kOiM | |
| Small Floorstander? I owned a pair of Preludes for years and they're a GREAT speaker (unique to the Silverline speaker line in that they use magnesium/aluminum drivers, unlike the "plus" version)...only sold them as I wanted a very high efficiency speaker to use with... | |
| Turntable cover Seems to me that a dust cover is a large resonating empty box that attracts vibration and delivers it to the table. My Linn cover, when open, just slides out of the hinge slots very easily and the hinges stay put on the lid...I simply stick the li... | |
| Tekton or Klipsch I auditioned both the Heresy IIIs and Forte IIIs at the same time and since I owned 2 subs already I figured I could control the bass more readily with the Heresy IIIs. Bought the Heresy IIIs, and really like ’em. Besides, they’re half the price o... | |
| Best tube preamp ever No decent preamp is "music style" sensitive. | |
| Best tube preamp ever The new Schiit "Freya +" allows 3 modes, passive, FET, and tube, and when you're not using the tube mode it shuts 'em off. So yeah, choose between tubes and otherwise remotely from your listening spot and enjoy knowing you only spent 800 bucks for... | |
| Small Floorstander? Klipsch Heresy IIIs...they make up for their low height by being tilted up on supplied little bases, and are absolutely world class sounding little gems. Add a sub and they're even better. | |
| Preamp for Rogue Stereo 100 amplifier A Shiit Freya preamp is balanced, and new versions just came out. I own an original version that sounds astonishingly good. USA made, more sophisticated features than nearly anything out there, and relative to other great preamps these things are ... | |
| Anyone else notice rating scales are getting inflated? I think there should be a rating of "11" as something deemed you're not worthy of owning. Or a "zero" rating for something that has actually disappeared. | |
| Paper cone woofers died in 1962 .... a look back The "aged cheese" woofer never caught on, neither did the overly damped "used catcher's mitt" design...I say stick with paper...or hemp fibre...anything... | |
| Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade? Interesting about the LEDs being less bright after I nearly went insane trying to get them into the little holes after taking apart my original version Freya...trying to put green marker on the LEDs to dim them. The new Freya changed the way those... | |
| What is the least compressed signal? Recorded music has to be limited to some degree or it simply wouldn't work. Try this...find a live sound mixing board and run a mic to it from a kick drum and into nearly any amp connected to a favorite home hifi speaker. Adjust the mixer channel ... | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? My Heresy IIIs were extremely easy to set up...you take them out of the box, put them in front of you, attach the wires... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. Ditto classic cars, or ANY sports car or motorcycle...bad mileage, expensive to maintain, and hey...look how much stuff you can fit into a minivan! Mechanical watches...don't keep time very well...outta here! Great original paintings...can't you j... | |
| Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade? I also have been shocked and rendered defensive by those with noisy Freyas, although those mostly seemed from tubes. Maybe I can stop being such a "Schitt Defender." My speakers are 99db efficient and I’d know it if a pesky hum showed up...does th... |
