| 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... | |
| Which adcom sounds best? Adcom is a great bargain brand and I think was always well made...I've owned a couple of 535s (one new back in the day, others used for studio monitors) and some nice preamps, and now use a 5300 Mosfet for deck speakers and as a backup amp...sound... | |

| i hear sim audio amps are unreliable Elizabeth is free to be whatever gender she/he wants to be. | |
| high power tube amps vs ss I've owned a LOT of tube guitar amps and a couple of SS and hybrids...tube amps are simply snappier and make people happier. I do use SS bass amps though, as you need extreme power for that. Same with tube hifi amps...60 watts per side with 90db s... | |
| Better sounding after 1 hour Again, your car will run better if you leave it running all the time...it will. Hot water...leave the water running and it's always hot AND fresher...sleep with your daytime clothes on...leave the refrigerator door open to cool the house and make ... | |
| Why do some audiophiles beat up McIntosh? The blue VU meters...what about that? Nobody does meters like those guys. |
