| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Try using high end cables as coat hangers...very difficult. Also, the only cryo treated item I have are my main speakers which were delivered to my house when I was out of town (unexpected shipping quickness..surprise!) and sat outside on a porch ... | |
| Small or large sub for music I've been in the actual music biz for over 5 decades...back when we used Altec A7s (extremely efficient) we typically ran maybe 200 watts into the bass speakers and 50 to 100 into the horns to make things balanced. Now I use 1500 watt powered bass... | |
| Small or large sub for music Bass frequencies absolutely require MUCH more power than treble or mids, to state otherwise is ridiculous. | |
| Kimber Hero vs Morrow Audio vs ? Analog interconnects Mike’s a classy dude...well done. I recently ordered 2 pairs of Morrow cables as part of the newly designed cable promotion "trade yer current Morrow cables in" thing...too hard to pass up the discount for those, although I do kind of feel bad abo... | |
| Small or large sub for music Why does anybody care if the bass is distributed evenly around the room? Is this so you can enjoy accurate bass while doing your yoga headstand against the wall? Weeping about things in the corner until the housekeeper finds you? I use 2 subs that... | |
| Kimber Hero vs Morrow Audio vs ? Analog interconnects Sorry, I still cringe even if this sort of thing is allowed, and I’m a fan of Morrow cables. I think forums should be for discussion and free from obvious commercial promotion or it could allow the threads to be permeated with the equivalent of ju... | |
| Kimber Hero vs Morrow Audio vs ? Analog interconnects I like the cables Mike, but I cringe when a commercial entity inappropriately drops in here. | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? I've cleaned a bunch of my vinyl and only play those (and clean as needed from the rest), allowing just those to escape the clutches of my having alphabetized everything. So there's two categories among my vinyl: Clean and random, and not cleaned ... | |
| Talk but not walk? I know people who have suffered with Aspergers Syndrome and other types of Autism themselves, and who have been through the trials of raising children afflicted with this stuff...I don't feel it's funny, or think it's inclusion as some sort of cyn... | |
| Bought a Cary 120S MK2 I use NOS Sylvania "Chrome Domes" in my Freya and they sound great and seem utterly neutral...like little glowing Switzerlands. The impact of any tube tone in a Freya can easily be noted by switching to the passive mode and comparing the two...adj... | |
| Talk but not walk? Left field tweaks utilizing unproven nonsense supported by gibberish like inserting the term "Quantum" here and there, and selling useless stuff on to the public at a huge profit ($2 fuses for 150 bucks that do nothing but stimulate the imaginatio... | |
| narrow and wide baffles and imaging I've had a pair of very skinny (about 5.5 inches wide) Silverline Prelude speakers for years and they image amazingly well, in fact much better than various other tower speakers I've owned. However, they were retired to make way for a pair of Klip... | |
| REL Subwoofer: Speakon or RCA? Over the years I've heard systems with various subs from old Velodynes to Vandersteens and others not having a V in their names, and RELs certainly hold their own compared to anything out there, including my 92 lb monster studio sub that's actuall... | |
| Headphones as Models for Speakers? Interesting Read from Herb Reichert - Opinions Please My hifi rig is glorious sounding, and has been approved and certified as a superior music reproducer by noted experts...or actually just me, so the certification was easy. Tube preamp, single ended tube power amp, efficient speakers, great subs, n... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? I retire my Nak BX300 years ago but plan to revive it with new rubber at some point. I used it as a mixdown deck in my little analog studio (the final version of the "porta studio" Teac 8 track with DBX) for years as well as a main component of my... |
