| Why do you need so much power? So much power? No, you don’t. 65 w/ch rms, clean, is plenty. Unless your amp doubles as a welding power supply. | |
| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? $6K on analog is a HUGE, HUGE amount for me!! I spent $70 on a vintage table which I refurbished. I spent $270 on a package of 26 vintage cartridges. After research, I spent $200 on styli for the best cartridges of the lot. I have a very nice 1980... | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again I bought a Conrad Johnson tube amp from a guy in central Russia. Took it 1 week to make it west to the Norwegian border. It took 3 more weeks to make it to my doorstep. The guy did an expert job packing it. Not even the separately packed tubes had... | |
| What 50wpc or higher amps have a totally different sound from Pass Labs, in a good way? I always liked Threshold amps. Could be a yang to the yin. | |
| Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had? I still have my 1980 SAE Two A14 integrated amp and 1981 Sherwood receiver. I’ve listened to MANY amps over the years and have never been left wanting.The SAE was designed in USA, built in Japan. Smoothest, most liquid sounding SS amp I’ve come ac... | |
| General question on Carbon fiber tonearms versus aluminum I think the comparison between CF cantilevers and aluminum tube cantilevers is a valid illustration here. CF damps more, so has a more smooth, but dead sound compared to aluminum. I don’t care for CF canti’s.. Ive found the same to be true for ton... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip Unlike millercarbon, I can switch the phasing of my sub and HEAR! the difference. If there was even an ounce of truth in his erroneous, chaotic statement, I could never hear a difference when I switch the phasing! Just an incredibly asinine statem... | |
| Vinyl on NAD M10 lower volume Makes me wonder what cartridge you’re using. I don’t have a volume problem when switching from phono source to digital. Occasionally I have LPs recorded at lower levels than others. 5 mV is an average cartridge output. What is your cartridge output? | |
| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? For decades I’ve read/heard disparaging comments about electronics made in S Korea. In college (1981) I bought a Sherwood S9600 CP receiver. Designed in the USA, manufactured and assembled in S Korea. Here it is 40 years later and I still use that... | |
| I expected more from my speakers (not high end) Kenjit is correct. You can’t expect a speaker to perform well if the polar response is not specified. At mid-latitudes, a northern polar response won’t sound good. Like wise, a southern polar response sounds flat in northern latitudes.Speakers “v... | |
| Sell LP's: No visible scuffs. Let buyer remove static if needed? Obviously, the OP here has no idea what static is. He THINKS it’s ticks and pops due to dirt, or from scuffs or light scratches. After the first 3 posts I finally figured out what in the world the OP was talking about! Then i laughed hysterically!... | |
| Why do people care what their speaker wants? My equipment just wants to be played!I tell my wife that all the time....You know, when the speakers have been sitting idle too long. TT needs to be spun and arm moved.( What equipment did you think I was talking about??!) | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? I didn’t really start loving this hobby until I went down my own path, against the grain, outside and away from the sheep fold, to find the best sound possible. This next year others may discover what I did: Diamond Streaming. | |
| Any way to listen to wav or high bit files with anything approaching audiophile sound? To get the very best audiophile experience, I’ve discovered “Diamond Streaming”. It’s the very best possible highest resolution system out there, bar none!The 24 or 16 BiT resolution is just too low to experience real audiophile sound. Just a fact. | |
| Can flexible power cables sound good? I use 3/8” copper tubing. Bar none, it’s the best! |
