| Coherent Speakers from Canada I still find that the site for Coherent remains somewhat incoherent as only one model pops up in the "products" area, but more than one is discussed elsewhere. Is more coherency to be expected, or does one simply need to talk to the designer? In a... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil Don’t cables get dusty anyway? I use my trusty dust brush vacuum attachment that sucks very bit of dust off of any cable it approaches, depositing it in a basement bin where I can extract it later and knit a sweater out of it. The last thing I nee... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil The world is full of natural vibration that fortunately has so little effect on the performance of sound gear as to be irrelevant to the enjoyment of music. That reality is likely NOT over geoffokait's head, but his head is so encumbered by imagin... | |
| If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it? My current speakers, Sonist Recital 3s, sound MUCH better biwired, my previous speakers, Silverline Preludes, did not. I discovered this (with the Preludes anyway) after talking to the designer, Alan Yun, who said the Preludes would be "more coher... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil Cables, if they’re in the same room as the speakers, will vibrate anyway…lifted or not, unless maybe they’re completely encased in venting ducts packed with spring loaded mattress foam (I’m selling those for $1,552 a linear inch). I won’t put litt... | |
| Preamps with two main-outs Pick up awards at the Wolf Garcia center any time. I have had 2 to 3 things hooked up to my preamp outputs (2 RCA and one XLR) with zero apparent issues for a while now, currently using 2 (tube power amp and a SS amp used for deck speakers) as I n... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... An active room neutralizer would be a great thing to have when your relatives start arguing during the holidays. | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener I was thinking of painting my REL Q108 (It's currently grey) in Gulf auto racing colors, or maybe covering it with fake fur. Tiny mirrors like a disco ball, or a faux Louis Vuitton finish so it looks like a hat box. | |
| Isolation footers for amps Vibrapods are inexpensive, many other isolation products are not and I think the pods do the same damn thing as the expensive stuff…had to note that…and one use that actually works is to place them under my speakers (mains, not subs) as I have woo... | |
| Help me to choose turntable below 1600$. My el-cheapo Linn Basik plays 45s…why the LP 12 doesn't is a mystery that I'm too lazy to investigate. | |
| Anyone Using Crystals? Negative ions (as in air fresheners) attach to dust particles causing them to fall out of the air. The good news is the air is cleaner, the bad news is there are more dust particles on everything. Thunderstorms also do this, although indoor thunde... | |
| Why do McIntosh come with cheap plastic remotes? My remotes for my CD player and streamer are plastic, and my Kavent/Vincent preamp remote is solid aluminum that I'm certain could withstand a steam roller…all work fine and their differences are such that I can recognize them by touch when gropin... | |
| Isolation footers for amps I use Vibrapods under the feet of my little SEP amp that dwells in the middle of my rack (put here so I could stare at it without leaning over as much…I’m old)…raises it up for more air, allows room for the spades I use for my 2 RELs (cables joine... | |
| The eternal quandary size versus sensitivity versus quality!! Help wanted!! I forgot about the Minuets…they got raves when they arrived, and I bought the Preludes which I really liked until replacing them (recently) with more efficient speaker. | |
| The eternal quandary size versus sensitivity versus quality!! Help wanted!! An aside: In the 70s a friend built a pair of speakers for his nearfiield studio needs using single JBL D130s (15" full range and famous) in slot loaded boxes…surprisingly small boxes relatively speaking, only slightly larger than the diameter of ... |
