| Ortofon 2m red or Audio Technica 440mla? It changes my life. Amazing little cart. | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? Indeed, an amp manufacturer will rightly claim the amp sounds better left on, and until it fails I'm sure it does. A car runs better when warmed up...leave that car on! If my gear is on and nobody is listening, does it sound good? Hmm... | |
| Small system upgrade question BALDERDASH part deux: A well designed sub like a REL can indeed improve the overall sound of a system with speakers running full range...I would have doubted it but since I put my REL in the system it absolutely does what I said previously, and wo... | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? I tried Minorl's suggestion of having a glass of wine while waiting for my system to warm up...and I became too drunk to read my morning paper. | |
| How far apart do you position your speakers ? I meant "your" and not "you're". | |
| Ortofon 2m red or Audio Technica 440mla? Thanks to info from a diligent forum member I bought the AT440MLA...we shall see if it changes my life. | |
| Boston Acoustics A400's Anyone Remember? I replaced the woofers in my BA A60IIs maybe 8 years ago and they're still holding up fine...I use them with an old reciever as front video speakers running stereo out of a high def SONY. These speakers really sound amazing for the silly prices yo... | |
| Need integrated with LOTS of WATTS Vincent integrateds seem to sound pretty good...a friend of mine has one and loves it...150 wpc. | |
| Small system upgrade question BALDERDASH! Integrating a good sub is actually very easy and a lot of fun for anybody with reasonably attentive ears. A well designed sub like the REL can be magic. The "high level" amp driven input allows the speakers to do their thing, and you c... | |
| How far apart do you position your speakers ? Obviate: To anticipate and dispose of effectively; render unnecessary. Now that we've cleared THAT up...Pettyfeveresk: I am concerned that your spouse is named "my dog Hanna"My listening room has furniture, book cases, paintings, a glass wall, moo... | |
| How far apart do you position your speakers ? Doesn't the nearly infinite disparity between various speaker's responses in rooms, including tweeter off and on axis dispersion and woofer loading sort of obviate set-up formulae? And...has anybody CHANGED the speaker position months after thinki... | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? First, I think using SS amps as lightbulbs wouldn't work at all...very difficult to screw in...secondly, I've always used dimmers...they save a ton and don't trigger seizures and distribute mercury pollution like compact flourescents. This thread ... | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? So the simple solution is this: Use gear that sounds GREAT the moment you turn it on, and once it warms up a bit it sounds greater. Actually...I think I have that already. Still, nobody has mentioned what the supposed "more likely to fail" failure... | |
| How far apart do you position your speakers ? You have a low threshold of refreshment. | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? I wonder what this "breakdown rate" might actually be? I've been an audio fan and pro musician/soundman since 1967 and I personally haven't experienced much breakdown at all...and the perception of things sounding better after sometimes hundreds o... |
