| Has anyone seen this...? I imagine if you were moving components and speakers in and out of your system constantly you might forego some of the anal retentive OCD traits that some embrace, too. I’m sure there is a lot of repositioning when critically listening. Since he l... | |
| What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why? I’ve only owned 2 sets of speakers ever. As much as I loved the little 2-way Infinity RS-3000 on cinder block stands in college, after blowing out the woofers and having to replace them, I knew my next speakers would need to be bigger. Since I st... | |
| Upgrade Speaker Cables or Interconnects I'm currently looking at the same sort of thing. Mostly stock cables now so room for improvement everywhere. My approach has been to prioritize what gets the most use and is the weakest link. Speaker cables get used by everything so does the amp p... | |
| Cable septic I love these type of posts. People post so much more in depth when they want to tell you that you’re wrong. I think there’s a lot of improvements that can be made in the area of things you don’t know you don’t know.I’ve never bought an aftermarket... | |
| Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...." I’m wary of used players in general because the transport is largely a mechanical device and can wear out or get sloppy. That’s been the weak link that led to the demise of both of my retired players - Adcom and Ah!. I briefly had a Rotel, but ret... | |
| Why Do Schumann Resonators Work? If you accidentally phase invert your Schumann generator does it cancel out the “natural” frequency and then your music room is in an unnatural bubble, like a mystery spot? Or is it simply an amplifier of the “natural” frequency?Also what about ov... | |
| If You Had the $$$ to Piece Together Your Dream System What Would It Consist Of? If I had the money I’d just hire a different band, ensemble, or orchestra for whatever I was in the mood for. If you’re limiting it to an actual system, I think I’d start with designing the room from the ground up and clean power supply systems. I... | |
| Trying to get a general idea of SQ hierarchy for combo pre/DAC vs separate boxes Never tried the Tidal app on the Oppo. Eventually gave up on the less than 100% compatibility the Oppo dongle had with my spotty home wifi. Had better luck with FireTV (5GHz vs 2.4GHz) and there are more apps. I’m just now realizing I watch an obn... | |
| Splitter -- One preamp to two amps. What to use? Maybe I missed something, but if you are bridging your amps then why do you need a splitter at all? If I read it right, now you have 4 channels of amplification by running each amp in stereo, one for HF one for LF. If you bridge your amps to mono ... | |
| Trying to get a general idea of SQ hierarchy for combo pre/DAC vs separate boxes I’ve never had separate pre/power amps before. I remember auditioning my MF A300 integrated umpteen years ago. There was another customer listening to matched pre/power separates that were 3-5x as expensive. We took turns listening to each setup a... | |
| Trying to get a general idea of SQ hierarchy for combo pre/DAC vs separate boxes I'm not good at upgrading. I don't do it very often. I'm trying to future proof for a big upgrade that realistically may never be completed. I mostly bought the Oppo to watch movies when I finally broke down and bought a TV a few years back. The s... |
