| Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener? I believe if you place one Stillpoint Aperture II on each side of a 6" thick absorption panel that is set directly behind your listening seat on the back wall you will be set perfectly and won't notice the CD racks as being missing. Mount them so ... | |
| Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener? Sounds like you have a lovely space and you have treated it nicely. Do not over dampen the room. Do you like the sound you are hearing? Do you believe there is an issue or are you thinking that if you remove your racks you just might create one? ... | |
| Are Harbeth Super HL5 XD right for me? If you have access to a Harbeth dealer bring your amplifier/pre along when you go to listen to them. Tell the dealer ahead of time about your room and how the speakers will be set up in your room, the dimensions from side walls and the front wall ... | |
| Law Of Diminishing Returns? Buy and assemble what you love and can afford, hell with diminishing returns. Some people will base the change in equipment for the simple reason they love the way a pair of Sonus Faber speaker looks and not necessarily because it sounded better t... | |
| What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs? My solution is to divide the systems between my three children. Once they have the components, which will be split so that each child has a nice functioning systems they can either get excited and keep their system or they can sell it on their own... | |
| Stereo or monoblocks Most important is the sound of the amplifier once integrated into your system. Pick the one that sounds better. Second, I prefer mono blocks because I believe they have the potential to sound better but more important you can use shorter speaker c... | |
| Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite? What speakers and preamplification are you planning on using? I think this will be important to know in trying to figure out which Class D amplifiers to then compare. | |
| Tube amps - what 3 things… In general, power supplies are important on all pieces of equipment. I think point to point wiring helps determine quality of build and sound. I believe separates are critical for improved sound, so mono blocks would be part of my choice. Past the... | |
| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? Speaker cable selection is more complicated than just the gauge. In general the longer the run the larger the gauge, but that is an oversimplification. Material choices are probably more important. | |
| Tube DACs @hickamore I believe this is what I was responding to which is what he wrote: "So, question: am I wrong to suppose that pairing random tube DAC A with random tube preamp B is a bad, or at least a silly idea, absent a known synergy?" Pairing a tu... | |
| Tube DACs If you can run a tube preamplifier with tube amplifiers then why not a tube DAC? Makes sense to me, although I have not heard that combo but my gut says it should sound great. Of course synergy between manufacturers will always be an issue to be a... | |
| Help me make sense of this - Midfi system sounding better hifi. First the two speakers have a different sound and you may have determined that the less expensive one’s sound you favor. Another possibility is the rooms are different in configuration and the one in which you have the preferred speaker works bett... | |
| Flat Screen Television behind speakers I have found that fulling my speaker a good distance out from the wall that the TV is on works well. I do not have to cover the TV. I am guessing I hit a good measurement in terms of distance out so that there is enough of a time lag before the so... | |
| Neutral Dac? Don't you find the same issue with cartridges? As many people upstream mentioned, it is the marrying of the entire system and room that you try and create that neutral sound. A better question is what is "neutral" because I believe each person has... | |
| Tube preamp options @sbank, Spencer, talk to Andy, from their web site the XLR input and output are "Fully Balanced". I am not saying I am a techie nor have I opened the units up and gone over them in detail but based on my conversation with Andy and from their web s... |
