| Why No Love For Peachtree Audio? Peachtree products seem pretty darn successful in the marketplace (next to the organic squash and farm to table farmers..."get off my table ya damn farmer!") so no sympathy here...note that they have absolutely no peach based ingredients with thei... | |
| Unexpectedly low volume with Schiit Saga + Vidar I use efficient speakers with a Freya (older and utterly collectable "original" version that YOU CAN'T HAVE) and a small SEP tube amp, but previously wasn't using particularly efficient speakers...the Freya tube gain worked fine with the less effi... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... So Kaitty, you don't get my position on internal wiring to the extent that you actually help make my case...internal wiring "direction" isn't regarded as even barely important in components as it's simply not. The tiny fuse wire isn't either, and ... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... My question remains in spite of Millercarbonfootprint's brevity free dodge, and people SHOULD care as it renders fusers as irrelevant as they should be...and another silly attack on my listening skills. Lame. My point remains that magic fuses do n... | |
| Best songs to test speakers Rickie Lee Jones' "Pop Pop" is pretty much unknown, and a great thing...Charlie Haden on bass and Robben Ford (on a nylon string guitar) et al...and yeah, a good choice for a test CD. | |
| Linear Power supplies for DACs...? I have some great yet currently extinct power supplies for my Cambridge DAC and phono preamp..."Pangea P100s" supposedly designed by a smart person, and they are MUCH better than the wall warts they replaced...noise filtering, stable transformer b... | |
| Room Correction without loosing MQA and DSD I find that my hifi room naturally sounds great with no Electronic Nannies. No live nannies either, as my wife could have an issue with that as our kids have grown and moved out. Tall sloped ceiling, walls and windows far enough away from the spea... | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? I like CDs and, weirdly, the new car I just bought (BMW M240i) has what a sales dude described as the last EVER BMW with a CD player (this assumes you trust any car sales dude's opinion)...it also allows music from CDs to be stored digitally (no c... | |
| Best songs to test speakers Simply listen to things you're familiar with that have at least a modicum of dynamics, and remember to work the word "modicum" into statements as people will think, "Hey, that guy's real smart." | |
| The “They are here” vs “You are there” sound topic Often things are neither here nor there. Kaitty should realize that things traveling at far less than "near" light speed have been proven to age differently...an atomic clock experiment proved that theory years ago by simply orbiting a clock aroun... | |
| Help- audiophile husband just dies You can also look things up in the Audiogon "Blue Book." | |
| Matching tubes I think tube matching is most important relative to the age of the tubes...you don't want to stick new tubes next to ones possibly on their last legs, or maybe you just don't care like some sort of gonzo tube abuse maniac which, admittedly, I kind... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Here’s a question I ask from time to time as it never has been answered, yet I persevere: Are any audio components manufactured with attention paid to alleged proper "direction" of the wiring and circuit board traces? And if not, what possible dif... | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge: BASS sounds 'muddy' The Reason? That table certainly does have a VTA adjustment. Also, I recently bought an Ortofon Quintet Red MC (cheapest of those 4) for my Linn Basik/Akito table and it sounds great. Highly recommended. I'd been using the excellent but underrated Sumiko Pear... | |
| im putting this in as many forums as i can.......... Direct hits from lightening can blow the nails out of yer sheetrock. No damage from a direct strike seems unusual...hmmm...Also note there's a "shift" key on your computer for a less lazy or silly looking lack of punctuation to make posts seem lik... |
