| high power tube amps vs ss Hearing issues come from sustained high levels, and unlike something like a gunshot next to your head, a short musical burst (from classical music for example) isn't going to hurt you usually...sitting next to a loud drummer might not be a good id... | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 I'm talking small changes here, and my REL isn't out of balance most of the time (never an issue with classical, rarely with jazz)...my room sounds fine, and, as I assumed I explained, it is the RARE recording that has too much low end, or some ol... | |
| Audio Research Vs115 I've had my Jolida for a relatively short time compared to the tube guitar amps I've used since 1966. In all those years of constant gigging I never had a single incident of a tube failure taking out any other part of the amp...some tubes did fail... | |
| Name 3 under appreciated pop/rock drummers Not sure if anybody mentioned the recently passed Richie Hayward who was the Little Feat powerhouse who seemed to have 6 hands and 4 feet...he was one of the reasons Little Feat were considered by many (including me) to be the best live band in it... | |
| Wood glue method of record cleaning The Spin Clean works well. Life just seems too short to try the glue method, but then I'm old. | |
| Sub best at high crossover? Never trust YOUR ears or really, what is the point of this forum? Even if the suggestions here result in your hifi setup becoming an impractical pain in the ass and sounding like dog meat to you, you could be making some sort of aural mistake resu... | |
| Audio Research Vs115 At a fraction of the cost of that ARC (which I had considered buying at one point) I bought a new "factory upgraded" Jolida 502p about a year and a half ago, stuck KT120s in it, and am very happy with it...reliable, quiet, and powerful...unlike my... | |
| Anyone enjoy their amp's sound more than music? I do think it's pretty clear that audio geeks are more into "active listening" by virtue of the fact that they care about sound quality...and that's a good thing. | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 All well and good (and my trusty REL amazes me all the time, except when I'm not actually listening to anything), but I was specifically referring to having to adjust the level of the REL relative to the recording's bass output. I play some stuff ... | |
| When an amp puts out 90 watts.... If you start with a reasonably powered amp and know the speaker impedence and efficiency are also reasonable, and act reasonably, you don't need to spend another moment on this power issue. Copland stuff is well regarded and I suggest you just set... | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 My REL is currently behind my left main with a fake plant on top of it, so it has disappeared even more. I AM interested in responses to my previous post (perhaps from somebody with reading comprehension ability) regarding sub level manipulation..... | |
| Anyone enjoy their amp's sound more than music? I like the idea of turning your gear on and NOT playing anything to enjoy the silence...meditate...sleep...go elsewhere knowing your hifi is not doing anything...ride my motorcycle...although I turn the stuff off when I'm not around for a while, I... | |
| Which adcom sounds best? My 5300 is also Mosfet, and I think it sounds better than the 535s (I owned both the 535II and a couple of the original 535s)...I A/Bd these when I was trying to sell the 5300, but nobody wanted it (the 5300) so the 535 went away, and I'm fine wit... | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 Jkuc...please explain...no wait...please don't explain as I somehow doubt I'd understand...really...thanks. | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 I don't get calibration systems except for the "gear adjustment challenged" listeners. I may have some advantage as a long time musician and concert sound tech (although among audio geeks that seems doubtful), but I trust my ears and other than my... |
