| What exactly is colored sound? Daleaherman…was that supposed to be funny? | |
| Support table or shelf for turntable When I bought my trusty (vintage) Linn Basik/Akito some years ago I had put it on top of what I assumed was a reasonably stable gear rack…oops…bounced around like crazy (maybe my rack isn't so stable). I looked up the manual online and noted that ... | |
| Low output gain amplifier for ZU 101db Efficient speakers Dennis Had "Inspire" Fire Bottle…best amp I've ever heard. | |
| Cary SLP 05 A call to Cary in NC would answer that question. | |
| Silly prices for Nordost cables Fine musical instruments are available at every level of cost once you get beyond the cheapest ones, and they all sound different…at least pianos and guitars. Some Steinways suck, most don't, Gibson generally makes horrible sounding acoustic guita... | |
| What exactly is colored sound? One of the early Stereophile test CDs (the first one maybe) has a recording of J. Gordon Holt reading something with different mics swapped in every sentence or so. A great demonstration that should be heard by anybody wondering about recording co... | |
| Do bluetooth speakers for cars exist? I bought a new Turbo Mini (to replace an older Turbo Mini) this year and like many newer cars it's equipped with blue tooth…it plays from my phone the moment I get in the car. | |
| Another soundstage question I decouple my speakers from my wood floor, and have lifted them to get the tweeter to ear level…I have zero room treatment except the stuff in the room (furniture, rugs, a full sized stuffed Lama) as I simply like the sound of a room…it's a normal... | |
| I'm wondering if I can fit this in my house Some of the recent Youtube videos of Stereophile reviewers are interesting, if only to see what absolute geeks some of these dudes are (not in a BAD way…bunnies? man...). Fremer has gigantic Wilson Alexa speakers and darTZeel amps in a seemingly s... | |
| KT88 tubes for Monos Since switching to a single ended pentode Dennis Had amp I've found it to be FAR more revealing of tube types, including the rectifier tubes…it came with a set of Gold Lion KT88s but recently I swapped 'em out for some old but barely used Sovteks,... | |
| Latest Absolute Sound 30K? Baloney, and I've always felt that discovering the hidden bargains in new or used gear is utterly more rewarding, and trusting YOUR ears is all that matters…I've bought things like "previously owned" solid silver cable that sounds great, well... | |
| Troubleshooting balance issues Ear wax drops followed by gently injecting warm water with an ear wash bulb works for me…for decades…recommended by my doctor after my complaining about wax build up when gigging as a too loud guitar player. Highly recommended. | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? One persons esthetic issues should be deemed irrelevant. And so I deem! | |
| Is it possible to buy a decent tube amplifier in the $2000-3000 range? With barely "efficient" speakers (allegedly 91db) my $1200 (1500 new when available) Dennis Had Fire Bottle SEP HO amp, designed and hand built by a genuine American geezer (only mentioned because hand wired SE amps from some places cost multiples... | |
| What direction is VPI headed? Inna is basing this on the astonishing rise in the popularity of Vinyl and the associated gear used to play this stuff…makes perfect sense. Also, 3 local-ish audio "salons" I've visited over the last several months carry a Pro-Ject "The Classic" T... |
