| She loves me she loves me not! I took my grills off and put one in each corner to use as a bass trap. I only put them back on when I have guests or my exterminator over who have probing fingers and like to touch things. | |
| How long does it take your tube amp to warm up? By the time I have my first drink, my amp and I are both warmed sufficiently. | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? I'd offer that life is fair. By the time you are old enough to afford the high price gear, your hearing has usually degraded to the point that you can't enjoy it anyway. Or maybe that's unfair. I'll have to look at my wine glass and see if it's ha... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? I guess it means different things to different listeners. To me it means the amp and/or system it is in produces a sound that is closer to the sound and, more importantly, the soul of real music than to the sound of hi-fi. This may also be attribu... | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? You should seriously consider selling your digital rig. | |
| Running a Vacuum Cleaner near Tubes Man, that TV story brought back some fond memories! We had one of the first sets on our block and many of the neighborhood kids would come over and stare at the test pattern until the Saturday programing began. Our set was about 4 feet high by 3 f... | |
| Entry CD player question? I looked at your system and agree that it was well assembled. But with that beautiful Thorens, why do you feel the need for a CD player? Or would it be something your wife would feel more comfortable using? | |
| The Hidden Gem at Capital Audio Fest (CAF) 2023! @2psyop LOL! I love it. Personally, I prefer the sounds of analog & tube measurements over digital & solid state. | |
| Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others? William Shatner. But only if I let him, and I don't. | |
| What happened to my room acoustics Your room doesn't look that bad to me, many are much worse. Of interest is that you mapped out the "golden triangle" and then didn't adhere to it. As others have suggested, your listening chair is too far away from your speakers. I suggest you pul... | |
| Bowers & Wilkins 801D4 Signature If your dealer is truly interested in you and your situation he will demo both speaker sets in the same room with the same electronics for you. Otherwise, there is no way either you or he can be sure. Your satisfaction, not his wallet, should be ... | |
| Are cable “upgrades” just as likely to make your system sound worse? There is no "absolute sound" that everyone would agree is perfect. Therefore it's all about listening preference or bias. I think most here would agree that cables can and will make a difference in our audio systems. Whether that difference is an ... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... With 7 subs, you'll need an eighth to even out the bass for your neighbors in the next town. | |
| Two questions to make you mad. You'll have to try harder if your intentions are to make us mad. I was going to suggest that if you are seeking the true sound of a piano, you should simply buy one but I see you already have one, so maybe you should just enjoy your music. | |
| REF5SE tubes Tubes should be available now from ARC. I have a Ref 5 SE and got tired of waiting for ARC to replenish their stock. They said they had to reject 90% of the tubes they were getting in. So I bought tubes from other vendors and lost the ARC "magic" ... |
