| Upgrade from ProAc Response D2 in small room @OP - If you like the Response D2, why not listen to the Response D20. I used a pair of Proac 2.5s in a room smaller than that for many years with excellent results. BTW, in a room that size you need some diffusion as well as bass trapping. I woul... | |
| The death of ultra hiend audio In any business segment, companies come and go all the time. Having been involved in the hi fi business since the 1980s, I think hi fi companies* have done pretty well on longevity. *By this, I mean reasonably well established companies, as oppos... | |
| Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp? @atmasphere. I'm only getting to respond to your response to my comment now due to the fact that in transferring to fibre broadband, my ISP managed to leave me with no internet access at all for several days - only resolved just now. The original... | |
| Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp? @Invalid - they do indeed. But if I smear vaseline on my camera lens, I think most people won't see a clear image from the resulting photograph. | |
| Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp? @atmasphere +1 - lack of distortion e.g. via excessive negative feedback - doesn't always speak of good sound, but significant levels of measurable distortion can never qualify an amplifier as high fidelity. | |
| I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them..... @OP - It's pretty simple. Some people have inflated ideas of what their used gear is worth. So they hold out for the price they think they should get and when they fail, they give up and sell to an online used goods retail business. It's the fair... | |
| Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp? @OP Unless its a 100 dB/w/M speaker, then PP. Every SE amp I've heard just collapses when trying to drive "normal" speakers at anything above "polite" volume levels. | |
| "I Trust My Ears" Our ears aren't actually passive sensors - they have active components. Our ears are suceptible to biomechanical damage which can affect our auditory perception. So both our ears and brain have a role to play. | |
| Speakers "Too Big" for room @OP The RS II owner's manual suggests a starting point of two to three feet from the front wall for the speakers. There's no reason that the speakers can't work in a room the size of your office. It's not a small room by international standards. T... | |
| Why don’t more members post their systems in their profile? I had my system posted - albeit without pictures - but now it's disappeared from my profile - I think. | |
| Basis Audio - Exhorbitant servicing evaluation cost @OP - the solution it to buy your used turntable from a dealer who will sell it fully serviced. Having gone through the Debut's owners manual, I can see a number of areas where the turntable could be damaged by faulty disassembly/packing or in dur... | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? It is possible to have lossless digital gain control. Audio DAWs use 32 bit floating point signal processing to achieve this when mixing. | |
| Ground loop hum @OP As the RP-7 is a line level preamp - what are you using as a phono stage and how are you grounding that? | |
| I can't believe I found one The Plessy era Garrard turntables that went into all in one type units have zero in common with the classic 301/401 Garrards. Maybe slightly better than BSRs, but not by much. Having started off in my teens destroying my LPs with similar kit, I wo... | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? Room acoustics have more influence on stereo reproduction than equipment. But answering the question asked, the Jadis JP80MC is pretty good at reproducing spatial aspects of recordings. |
