| MF M1Clic - Adding Velodyne sub I get great and plentiful bass from my trusty old REL 10" sub that goes down to 25 hz or so in my medium largish room, proving that indeed you CAN get great bass from a 10 (I use 10's in my pro bass playing rig also). Not sure if all 10s work this... | |
| Jolida 1501RC hybrid integrated vs. Rogue's Sphinx I saw a photo of the innards of the Rogue Sphinx, and it seems to have about 17 parts...personally, I value the part count in my gear...I want these things crammed with little caps and resisters and diodes so I feel I'm getting my money's worth. | |
| LP Record Cleaning Machine - Ultrasonic or Vacuum What happened to putting all your LPs on the floor, covering them with carpet cleaner, and then simply get out the vacuum and go at it? This worked for laundry issues in college... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Unfortunately, due to the shape of the KT150 I can only assume that emergency rooms will eventually be dealing with those who've decided to cram them up their...uh...nevermind...innapropriate...sorry... | |
| Cable recommendations for cary slp-98p & cary 120s I've been lucky to find used but well kept cables to move signal around my in my rig. Highly recommended as many audiophilliacs are infected with the upgrade bug and compulsively change out very good stuff for a song...I bought a $400 solid silver... | |
| kt77 vrs kt120 in Rogue M180s My personal crusade to catalog KT120s destroying a transformer or damaging an amp continues...so far all of the transformers all over the world are surviving, including my Jolida 502p after thousands of hours over a year and a half. But I remain e... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Yeah...after 3000 plus hours I think these are starting to break in...by next June they should be gettin' real good. | |
| New KT150 tubes? My KT120s must have more than 3000 hours on them by now, and no signs of drifting bias or sonic issues yet...they still sound strong. | |
| Record clamps: do they really make a difference. I bought a Mitchell record clamp for my Linn/Akito rig last year and I think it sounds better with it...plus it makes me feel better knowing it's there, I think I'm a better person for going to the trouble of buying it, and the table looks cooler.... | |
| What's under your sub? I have my front firing REL on the wood floor in a smallish corner (formed by a gas faux fireplace) behind a main speaker...simple pads on it so it doesn't scratch the wood, and it works for me so I've never even tried any other way. I do put my ma... | |
| Floorstanders designed to be against the wall? HA...good call on the date of the post! | |
| Need a very neutral interconnect- A background lacking hifi reproduction gear generated noise is all this should mean. I want to hear the glass clinking Madmen era laughing drunk ass NY crowd at the Bill Evans show...or the cool man low hum of anticipation at a symphony...the room... | |
| Need a very neutral interconnect- So now I'm NOT an idiot? So confusing...anyway...None of the "high end" salons in my Near Boston area had a din cable to fit my Akito arm. Lame but true. The Jelco cable looked great (Ebay) and has a well made gold din plug, nice gold RCAs, and sa... | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? I don't monitor the warmup of my tube amp because it's generally on providing background music from the moment I start my day until I can get around to doing some "active listening." I can comment of guitar tube amps though, because when I plug in... | |
| Need a very neutral interconnect- Bo never ceases to amaze (or simply never ceases), and please, do not let him in the room with the musicians. |
