| 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. | |
| from w/w CARPET to WOOD floors I stuck "vibra pods" under my speakers on wood floors and they sound amazing...this was after decades of spikes, and it seems that some high end speakers come with what they call "decoupling" dampers so there could be a trend away from spikes...fo... | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear I heard some Teton monitors and they made me feel nauseous and caused a small fire in the listening room. I also think Wavetouch promoters are part of an insidious cult that suggests people contact them for home auditions and once the unsuspecting... | |
| Any Pono player owners out there? I've been (mostly) enjoying Neil's career since Buffalo Springfield, and sympathize with his physical issues and family drama...but...DSD and other nice sounding formats came first, and you have to wonder about Neil's ranting about analog vs. digi... | |
| Not as much activity on analog here The simple fact is that if you own LPs, the best way to hear them is on a turntable. Nothing else will play them. If you don't own LPs you don't need a turntable, unless you just want one because they're sort of cool to look at, and you can spin t... | |
| What sub under a grand? Did you tighten the bolts for the driver and all the other stuff? They can get loose after a while. |
