| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Gasbaggery aside, although in this thread it would render the page virtually empty, most high end cable manufacturers make worthwhile products in gauges that are apt for nearly anything, and unless you need to run 160 feet of wire for some reason ... | |
| Phono cable advice. I must have found the Jelco cable on Ebay somewhere...and now that I just checked, indeed there are several...type in Jelco Phono Cable and there ya go! | |
| Help Choosing Headphone Amp for Audeze LCD-2 I've heard great things about the Moon Audio Dragon Inspire headphone amp, and if it's anything like the Dennis Had built Inspire SEP power amp I have, it's likely to be real good. Plus, it looks cool. | |
| Phono cable advice. After noticing that my "vintage" Linn Basik table seemed have suffered from tonearm cable rat bites (!) when owned by the previous guy, I decided to look around for another cable. DIN to RCAs with a grounding line...none of the local "audio salons... | |
| Many seem to be talking about their last system . I'm retired and love CDs and vinyl although not exclusively, and if the streamer isn't working for some reason both of those will (except in power failures...until I get my used submarine nuke plant going). Always. Also it's important to have as m... | |
| Nakamichi Cassette Decks I used my trusty but retired BX300 for years (I took it out recently so my wife could listen to an old recording of her kids and hey...it still works!) as an important part of my hifi rig, and also as a mixdown deck for recordings I did on a TEAC ... | |
| What Characteristic Strikes You First About Un-amplified Music? I was mixing an acoustic guitar concert at a club with all the normal bar ambient noise, although during the show the crowd (mostly) stops talking...the goal during the soundcheck is always to get a sound the performer likes so they’re happy and c... | |
| 84k speakers... Big disappointment I think the main issue is they need more Bang and less Olufsen. | |
| best preamps Speaking of pedestals...I recently noticed that somebody is marketing a turntable pedestal...sort of like a 3 foot high speaker stand, but for turntables. That is simply the worst idea I've see in a while, and I'm glad I've been given an opportun... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? The myth that tube amps are somewhat tonally "darker" is nonsense, although some may be more than others by design, not necessarily due to tubes being in the mix. | |
| EL 34 vs. KT 88 ---- What's the difference? Another neck snapping time jump...I have to mention (really...it's a required thing) that after using various tubes (including all the ones mentioned by bob) in 2 recent power amps including a wonderful Jolida 502P, and currently a Dennis Had SEP ... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? I think you should decide between tubes and transistors, then pick whatever seems like a good idea. I'm in the tube camp as they sound more musical, and music is what I use my rig for (except for sometimes listening to Harry Shearer's show)...a gr... | |
| Bass response everywhere but at listening position? Also I imagine that you should get the speakers out into the room a little more relative to the restrictions you noted...they need some room to breathe. | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised It's not necessarily an expensive proposition, and sticking with NOS tubes that test well and are matched has worked for me...the RCAs and Sylvanias actually cost about as much as or maybe less than the new Tung Sols. | |
| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. My original M1 Morrow cables sounded amazingly good, which means they know what they're doing regardless of the fact that 2 runs of silver clad copper is somewhat minimalist. I traded 2 cables in the "60%" off deal (out of curiosity, and the faith... |
