| Asymmetric Room @OP While not necessarily the cause of your problem, you will get comb filtering from reflections from your sofa as well. So a throw on it will help as well. If you are hearing the problem within a foot of the speaker, check that it's not a resona... | |
| Why hasnt a turntable manufacturer produced a table with automatic tonearm return/shutoff? Dual make turntables with lift/shutoff. | |

| Is bi amping worth it ? @OP. Your preamp has multiple pre outs, so you can easily bi-amp without an additional crossover. The pre and power are perfectly fine, though a high quality solid state class amp of lower power would be a better match for the speakers. I say sol... | |
| Is bi amping worth it ? @OP - am I correct that your loudspeakers have two sets of speaker terminals for bi-wiring/biamping. If that is the case you don't need a separate crossover - you will just be passively biamping, feeding the signal from your preamp to two separate... | |
| Whest BII Mastering Buffer This speaks to the fact that when listening to any digital device that outputs an analogue signal, one is listening to the conversion and output stage. What is missing from the manufacturer's blurb about their listening tests is whether or not th... | |
| Single driver full range speakers @OP. The drive unit in question not only has a rapidly falling frequency response below 150hz, but it has a strongly rising response above 1.5k - and a ragged one that's typical of whizzer cone "full range" drive units. The latter will exacerbate ... | |
| Recommend an amp + pre for ESL 57s and a new turntable (way out of my league) @elliottbnewcombjr - the 57 has a modulus of impedance that rises as frequency falls and falls as frequency rises. They are a difficult load but not in the way difficult cone speakers are. | |
| Qobuz Connect I've experienced that issue on Connect, but very, very intermittently. That said, I've experienced it previously with Roon so I put it down to network issues. | |
| Old Vs New ..... Transport and dac. Hello again also Borg7x9. You are absolutely right about the economics of buying CDs v vinyl records. I'm sure you are sorry to see your Brinkmann/Kuzma go but the good thing with the Concept is that such "sins" as it has are those of omission and... | |
| Old Vs New ..... Transport and dac. Hello Borg 7x9. Thanks for your reply. For context, I'm an audio consultant and I get to hear a lot of systems of all kinds. I completely appreciate the positive qualities you find in SET amplification and vinyl playback. BTW, the Concept is a fin... | |
| Old Vs New ..... Transport and dac. @OP - does it matter if modern digital would sound better?. Modern amps and speakers would sound better too, so in the context of the system overall the Reimyo is going to be plenty good enough. | |
| 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... |
