| Fake Audioquest sky cables SInce AQ says exactly what they're going to do if the cables are determined to be fake, it's not illegal in any sense...you shouldn't send them to them in the first place if this is an issue. | |
| Kimber Hero vs Morrow Audio vs ? Analog interconnects I like solid core and have used Audioquest stuff for many years, but recently discovered Morrow and like them a lot. Morrow uses the same internal silver coated solid copper wire in everything and simply adds more or less runs of it relative to co... | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? You got it. NO worries. But Humanity is the worst thing happening to humanity, and since I like the outdoors it seems kinda sad we tossed it out. I got mine...played with Zeppelin, won some surf contests, etc, so I'm fine, and should enjoy the pla... | |
| Speaker Dilemma--A Good One to Have but Confused I bet you're using maybe 3 to 10 watts when listening to anything, regardless of the relative efficiency issues. I use a 12 or so WPC little tube amp with Klipsch Heresy IIIs (hard to beat the 99db efficiency these have, but subs are important sin... | |
| The most fun you can have in audio is DIYing your own speakers He’s right...I paid something like 50 bucks a pair for some amazingly good Morrow ICs. I mean, yeah, they were on sale...still...50 bucks! Swine gluttons! | |
| Small or large sub for music I'm firmly in the "DSP robs the music of some soul" camp (I don't trust the sonic opinions of the designers...how do they know what I want to hear?), and think a normal room (meaning with furniture, rugs, and stuff other than traps and damping pan... | |
| Tube pre amp MAGNI 3 (not Mani 3 which might not be an actual thing, but there is a Mani phono preamp), which, by the way, is an astonishingly great sounding little amp, built like a tank (albeit a very small tank). | |
| Why aren't new vacuum tubes as good as old ones? I suggest you try what Billy Gibbons allegedly did with a bunch of amps...his crew piled them up in a sort of large box configuration and stuck a mic in the middle of the heap...not sure how it sounded but hey, why not? | |
| Why aren't new vacuum tubes as good as old ones? How many tube guitar amps are out there? Small niche? I'd bet they're 90% of the tube market...gotta scratch that niche. | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? No worries! We now know that any issues regarding conserving energy are no longer valid as we’ve reached the irreversible tipping point in our impact on climate. Unprecedented massive wildfires cover snow with ash that absorbs sunlight, wild anima... | |
| Why aren't new vacuum tubes as good as old ones? I use some "vintage" tubes...I like chrome dome Sylvanias and Mullards that "flash." I don't know why manufacturers keep putting KT150s, KT120s, and Gold Lion KT88s in the amps they build...don't they know new tubes suck? They even fooled me into ... | |
| Tube pre amp I'm now on my third piece of Schiit gear as, based on very positive reviews and my experience with my other two Schiit items, I just bought a Mani 3 headphone amp (as everybody should for 100 bucks...it's almost free)...so a Freya, the amazing Lok... | |
| Funds held in Stripe Dashboard? Holding funds by a gigantic company like Paypal allows them to generate interest on those funds. It might not seem like much, but consider that many millions are held in "escrow" at all times, which is essentially free money for the company, and n... | |
| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? I live near a couple of high end shops and have hung out to listen to several mega expensive systems over the years and always enjoy that. I also enjoy the fact that I can assemble a system every bit as enjoyable in my home, using well sorted and ... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! The ribbon tweeter festooned speakers didn't work out, but the little single ended amp did. Now I have horn loaded tweeters in Klipsch Heresy IIIs that sound amazingly uncolored and sweet, and image like crazy. Great speakers. |
