| Experiences with the Degritter RCM The Degritter is a superb machine - beautifully designed, simple to use and effective. The improvement in sonic quality (not just noise reduction) is significant - in my view - easily worth the money relative to what else you could buy by way of s... | |
| Pass Labs Speaker Choices XP32 Pre / XP27 Phonostage with a pair of XA 60.8 monos with Wilson Maxx 2s. Very satisfying to listen to - tonally very well balanced and musically engaging. | |
| Help optimizing my streaming setup I would have been in the camp of being sceptical about switches - especially the idea of putting a switch into a setup that doesn't have multiple devices. However, having assessed the effect of inserting a quality switch in two separate installat... | |
| Replacing tweeter in Harbeth SHL5 Plus arafiq - you're welcome. Only ever move the connector side to side laterally - never twist it. At least you are replacing the tweeter so it's a good opportunity to practice! Best of luck. | |
| Perception and Watts: Doubling of power We can easily distinguish changes in loudness but human beings are not SPL meters - our sensory system doesn't work that way in the sense of being able to calibrate what we hear in dB - cue the eleven is one louder sketch in Spinal Tap. As regard... | |
| When were the best tube amps made? The best tube amps are being made today. Unfortunately, with the exception of the best current 300Bs, the best tubes aren't. But from, say, the 1950s to the current day, the pace of improvement in SS amp technology has radically outstripped tube t... | |
| Vinyl record cleaning I'd rather wash my dog in the dishwasher than my records. Well - NOT - but you get my drift... | |
| Replacing tweeter in Harbeth SHL5 Plus Harbeth usually use spade connectors. It will be totally obvious to you when a connector is used versus a soldered joint. But as I say, and from what you have reported, it's a spade connector. The key to removing those connectors is that you need ... | |
| I can't believe this. @OP It it's anything, it's extortion. Bribery is you volunteering to pay someone to do something for you. Extortion is someone looking for a payment from you to get them to do something on your behalf. | |
| I have an idea for an audio product what should I do? @OP What is your background in terms of business/technology? | |
| If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over............. I was considering the Tony Bennett and Bill Evans album but, rightly, it's already been referenced. So I'll plump for the second (1981) recording of the Goldberg Variations by Glenn Gould. | |
| Digital gain vs analog gain You should run the power amp with no attenuation and use your preamp as your volume control - that's what it is designed for. I don't understand the reference to changing the gain on your iphone in the context of a feed to your preamp unless the ... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll Living in northern Europe in a north facing room, Class A heat is not a problem - perfectly acceptable in the Summer and eminently usable as space heating in the Winter. I'd prefer not to have the power consumption. But - regrettably in that rega... | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC @op - you can use a the computer of your choice running Roon. You need to that your DAC has a USB input and that it will see the output from the computer - but most will. | |
| Are solo efforts ever better? It's a fine line between better and different. I applaud musicians who have the courage to make a clean break rather than staying in the comfort zone of their bands viz. Paul Weller, Mark Knopfler and Sting. Of those three, only Mark Knopfler's po... |
