| Beyonce releases first album in six years RENAISSANCE I don't listen to any pop music really, and although I think Beyonce is beautiful and talented I fail to see what the point of gushing about her (or discussing her at all) on this forum is all about. Would we have missed this extremely hyped relea... | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 I run KT 66s currently in my Dennis Had Inspire Firebottle HO, and have successfully used 77s (a fave), 88s, 120s, 7581s, and even 150s...all work well, although they don’t make much sound while the amp sadly sits on a shelf...*sniff*...also, I us... | |
| Something on top of a speaker=okay? Raw meat does provide some cabinet resonance dampening, but I've found it rots and gets smelly pretty fast so you have to change it frequently. | |
| How long should speaker cables be? It sort of doesn't matter if you're using good cable, but stick to less than 300 feet. Balanced cables to mono amps is a great thing, but most people don't have room for that or things aren't balanced in the first place, so don't fret over it...or... | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 It’s rare to see much if any criticism of First Watt stuff...in fact mostly raves. I’ve never heard a First Watt amp but based on the balance of reviews of them I’d put this one in the outlier bin (my preference for Heresy IIIs over IVs goes into ... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement Any serious audio geek owns a home with a stream you can dam up for your own hydro power...a small nuclear plant also works but be wary of sensitive neighbors. | |
| Less Is Really More - Schiit's New Yggdrasil DAC - Less Is More Yeah...Bifrost 2 upgrade for 300 bucks with 4 converters to make it balanced and mo betta...you pop it in and use a mini card to set it up. | |
| Less Is Really More - Schiit's New Yggdrasil DAC - Less Is More I have a Bifrost 2 and just ordered the upgrade thing. Weeks...gotta wait weeks... | |
| Speaker positioning and center image depth Simple fact: All speakers have a different "in room" response. My issue is with the overcomplicating of setup os it chews the fun out of your gum (Richard Julian line). Get a pair of Magicos and maybe the shop will come over and set ’em up for you... | |
| Speaker positioning and center image depth As a long time professional musician and live sound engineer I’m nothing if not meticulous about the tonal aspects of my system, including soundstaging, bass response and any other speaker placement issues. The main listening room treatment is acc... | |
| Speaker positioning and center image depth Do people really need this much coaching when it simply should be: Move your speakers around until they sound good to you. The end. | |
| Speaker polyamory -- or, stories about getting a second set to alternate with your primary Weird use of the word "polyamory." If you’re that close to your hardware you may need a little more time with your shrink. | |
| Speaker positioning and center image depth Too much speaker depth and you could fall in and disappear. Hey man...stranger things have happened...also, if you can't deal with ports (seriously...what percentage of speakers have ports?) and actually think they're hard to deal with you really ... | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . As an early Loki enthusiast I have 2 of 'em (original and "+"). Great and absolutely transparent bit of gear, one for my TV rig and another for headphones and general EQ when needed in my main hifi system. Although the "Max" isn't cheap I bet it's... | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing I have a smallish pro horn sound system set up in my studio that I've actually used for a "live event." So, if you want the sound of a live event, just get some well designed P.A. speakers and save the hundreds of thousands for something else. |
