| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Never addressing what I actually said, Kaitty is nothing if not consistent in his predictably lame response. I was speaking specifically and obviously about my personal take on home audio based on many years of experience, but somehow Kaitty arbit... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? I've used a few decent SS guitar amps over 5 decades of being a professional musician, and by few I mean few, and by decent I mean simply OK...Music man hybrids with a SS front end and tube output, a "Legend" amp with a tube front end a SS output,... | |
| Might try a tube preamp Get a Schiit Freya...a great sounding preamp that has some unique features including the ability to switch in and out of the tube section into passive or FET, has balanced and single ended ins and outs, has a very accurate volume control, and cost... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Or, be a sane person and ignore all of Kaitty’s suggestions by simply plugging them in and enjoying them...you can establish correct direction by noting the direction indicated on basically every cable made...fishing line indeed, as if that causes... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? I called Morrow today to see where the cables I ordered were after having to hold the order until I returned from a vacation (on their way it seems), and asked them what I should do if I like the pre burned in sound...in jest of course...they did ... | |
| How good is your hearing ? And how do you know ? We had to re-join the union every time we got a gig opening for a big act, and generally it cost about as much as we made for the show. I made more playing 5 or 6 nights a week in Honolulu clubs than friends I knew who toured in major acts. A coup... | |
| How good is your hearing ? And how do you know ? I joined the Honolulu Musicians Union 50 years ago (they tossed me and every other member I knew out from time to time for non payment of dues), and have played electric guitar too loud too often and still do. Ears ring, etc. So now I mix live con... | |
| In search for speakers of "natural" sound I think my Klipsch Heresy IIIs have a surprisingly "natural" sound with my tube stuff, and I have instruments around as a reference as well as a long career as a live concert sound tech, musician, and fashion model (not a public one, just me aroun... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? I prefer the sound of non "burned in" fresh cables so I can only listen to them for a short time, and have to either swap them out for new ones every few days, or simply disconnect them and replace them from a pile of identical cables that have sa... | |
| Bill Evans - Waltz for Debby - New on HDtracks That album kills me...I have a nothin' special vinyl recent version that sounds clean, but the charm of the crowd sounds and a strange live mix is just cool and allows me to imagine that scene...Lafaro's bass...whew...It sort of proves to me that ... | |
| klipsch speakers,be honest I've owned a lot of speakers over many decades, and I bought a pair of Heresy IIIs last year and and found that they're amazing sounding fat little speakers...who knew?...they need a sub, but so what? A bargain. | |
| Seeking subwoofer recommendation My used RELs, bought at different times a few years ago, were around 200 bucks each and are amazingly good. A Q150e, and a Q108 MKII. Plus, there’s 2 of ’em which is gooder than one. I get that these prices were due to some luck, but I still I see... | |
| Is this an excellent value? I use Heresy IIIs with a Dennis Had SEP amp with something like 12 watts per side...maybe 10 with my current KT77 tubes. He seems to be making only lower power SETs these days, including a recent listing (Ebay...the only source for new Had stuff, ... | |
| Advice on pre-amps needed I'm currently using a Schiit Freya that is possibly too inexpensive for this thread, and a Dennis Had "Firebottle" HO SEP amp (also relatively inexpensive)...I HATE noise and hum from hifi gear, and use noise defeating outboard power supplies for ... | |
| Jolida Fusion 3502S vs. Jolida Fusion 801 I'm a recent convert to Gold Lion KT77s having used all the other KTs...GL and Sovtek 88s, 120s, 150s, all sounding great in my old Jolida (and all used at some point my current amp), but in the little Dennis Had "SEP" amp I now use the GL 77s are... |
