| Need Help with Subwoofer Choice I use 2 RELs, a Q150e (10"driver) and a Q108 MK II (8"), both bought used for around 200 bucks each, and they're extremely "musical" and really well built…highly recommended (by many). I had the Q150e first for a few years and it worked fine by it... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 I have a friend who loves his "U -Turn" although I haven't heard one myself. They're inexpensive and they're made in my current home state of MA (!). If they made them in China they would be free. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... So, again, my question remains unanswered, although obviously I still think it's relevant and very basic. Most manufacturers of "audiophile" tweak products like gear racks, cables, tube dampers, spiky or rubbery feet, etc., will be happy to explai... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Wait…I'm still hung up on Ralph's "perfectly coiffed hippy mane." Having been a Real Hippy (as opposed to a "weekend hippy"), and a working musician since 1967 where I was overexposed to all sorts of hippiedom, I can say that "perfectly coiffed" a... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I continue to wonder HOW SR fuses do whatever they are claimed to do. I realize that to the SR faithful this question is blasphemy, and to even raise this question often engenders the ire of the Magic Fuse Faithful, but since this question has nev... | |
| Doh, left system off all night Environmental Issues update: Based on recent data regarding Arctic warming (today in the NY times for example) and Greenland ice sheet melting, I’m pretty sure we’ve irreversibly lost the battle with climate change so hey…waste all the juice you c... | |
| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? I get that as nobody wants speakers that "shine only with good recordings." You need speakers that cover up the faults in bad recordings making the recordings sound better, and also allow great recordings to sound great…perhaps a "shitty recording... | |
| Do Integrateds sound better than Receivers? "Really good stuff" is available without the premium cost of seriously hyped items that may not be better sounding at all. So to people who still have their youth I say, don’t wait! "Sorry Marge, no sound until I get a few years of bonus checks sa... | |
| Hello Tube Amplification--Goodbye Subwoofer I test my sub contribution (subtribution?) from time to time by turning them off for a bit…I use 2 RELs…turn them back up and you simply and instantly understand sub mojo. | |
| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? I’ve been a mostly "rock" professional musician for nearly 50 years, recording, live stuff, still play a little too loud. I’m also going through a "late stage beatnik" phase of being a jazz freak, listening to lots of it (hooked on piano trios), a... | |
| Tube Physics Question The Tiger was kind of fun (a friend had one) and seriously cool but didn't handle so well. From that era I preferred a Lotus Elan I was lucky to drive for a bit as those were REALLY fun, and felt very fast. Nelson Pass is too cool. Somebody wrote... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? I find that the tubes in my guitar amps can only be isolated from vibration by not using them. They might still suffer some vibration from seismic sources, or from people walking around them…the doorbell (rare)…but the only real way to preserve to... | |
| Acurus A150 v. Bryston 4b My posts are nothing if not entertaining, albeit only to myself. I utterly understand all of the mb1 post, and can only offer this fact: QSC makes all of their GX line as well as most of their other pro audio gear in China. | |
| Acurus A150 v. Bryston 4b For clarity and possible help in your seeming dilemma, I suggest you research comments from QSC in their forum where a QSC rep points out that some lines are of Chinese manufacture (the GX included) and others are from Costa Mesa. My wonderful Chi... | |
