| What sub under a grand? Speakers and subs can function and sound differently of course, but "timing" and "speed" are useless terms often used by technically challenged gasbags like Bo, who seems to lack the ability or actual knowledge to explain himself. I'm not sure wha... | |
| What sub under a grand? "Fast response" from woofers is another example of audio nonsense...all woofers get the signal at the same time as the main speakers, there is no significant measurable delay related to cone material, magnets, or woofer amps, and there is pretty m... | |
| What sub under a grand? Claiming a "big positive difference" from using a sub for higher frequencies than around 50 to 60hz requires further explanation, and I hope there isn't anything of the sort forthcoming from the strange paragon of self parody that is Bo. | |
| Tubes for Jolida Fusion Preamp My 2 cents as a tube roller is to recommend buying from a dealer with a good return policy (thetubestore.com is a fave) as I've had NOS tubes fail...nice when they're replaced free of charge, and for me a key is buying NOS and not simply OS (old s... | |
| What is better 1 bigger sub or 2 small ones Look at the specs of the different REL models and get the one with the lowest possible frequency rating you can afford. My trusty old single REL Q150e (10" mosfet little monster) is located directly behind one of my main speakers, is all the sub m... | |
| Tinnitus I blasted my ears playing in bands for decades (since around 1967), still work on my electric guitar chops likely a little too loudly because well designed tube amps are so satisfying, ride motorcycles, and get slightly overpaid to run sound at li... | |
| Silver cables or copper?Any opinons. Psycho-acoustic is it. | |
| Silver cables or copper?Any opinons. You simply cannot use the same cable for Jazz Rock and the Blues. Any serious listener who really cares about proper musical accuracy should swap all their cables when listening to disparate musical styles. If you expect a specific cable to reprod... | |
| My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA I've used the cheaper Crown PA amps at shows (part of a house system) and they simply are not very good...loud maybe, but the sound quality was worse than some other QSC, Crest, and older Mackie amps I was using at the time. Pro PA amps of any sor... | |
| Step up from AT150MLX on Technics 1200 My two cents...I had an AT 440 and it was too bright in my rig so a Sumiko Pearl was suggested...it's a GREAT sounding thing in my system and an inexpensive solution. Best 125 bucks I've ever spent on anything hifi. | |
| Is $3000 pushing the limits for a geat monitor?? I've owned several of both small and large speakers over the years...stands, no stands, filled with sand or lead shot...spikes or dampening pods...blah blah, and I think the term "compete" is key here...a "large floor stander" is large, and uses i... | |
| My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA I'm just glad to see someone using the word "eschews." | |
| from w/w CARPET to WOOD floors I found that covering the front speaker baffles with live sea sponges is a winner, and wall mold, if you're patient and let it grow nice and thick (it can also grow on the pasta), can provide some excellent extra dampening texture along with nice ... | |
| Acurus A250 I had one that sounded great but it had to be sent back to Mondial to have a pesky hum fixed twice...they paid for it so it was merely an inconvenience, but I think that thing was the bargain powerhouse of its day, and I used it with Vandy 1Bs...k... | |
| Psvane KT88 tubes in VAC amps I've retracted my Psvane endorsement as one of my 12Ax7TII tubes failed and made me sad. It will take a while to recover. |
