| I downloaded high-res files and... Thanks to all for your suggestions. @ghdprentice I agree with your assessment of the Ref CD9. I guess my next steps are to explore servers. I have a perfectly good Pioneer N70ae in my other system, and wonder if I am missing the opportunity to ... | |
| Bass is clearer and more impactful when I stand vs. when I sit Hi, the other guy here. I took the advice I received to move the speakers - PMC MB2SE - closer together about a foot each closer to the center, as close as practical to the media unit, and also further forward about 6”. Towed in towards the seati... | |
| Bass only when I stand up… Where the heck did my last response update go? Well, good news. I took the advice here about moving the speakers closer together. I moved them about a foot each side towards the centre and about another 6” forward. Problem solved. Now there’s ... | |
| Mystery Of Red Plating Wish I could find a tech like that in Australia Maybe I should ask the guitar shops… | |
| Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future? In my experience and I’m paying storage fees ($190AUD/month) to save my boxes… because the foam inserts and boxes cannot be easily replaced esp for gear that is over five years old. Manufacturers are not always a reliable source. Values can drop 2... | |
| Streaming through Marantz Pre/Pro @bkeske Thanks for your feedback and suggestions here. It’s a line of inquiry I may continue to pursue as I acclimatize to the system. Out of interest which preamp power amp combo are using today? Speakers? | |

| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? Musical, has sufficient dynamic contrast across the frequency range to reasonably present music as live even if studio recorded. Oddly, some of the most obvious are backing soundtracks to advertisements... that somehow seem to have to most obvious... | |
| Galion TS120 Time for noodles…and music. | |
| Is a FLAT response the IDEAL? Let me see, where did my flat response misunderstanding start... I'm a logical thinker, other than when I'm not, and can be both at times. Flat response to me does not speak at all to it's meaning in use here in the audio world. 'Flat response' s... | |
| Is a FLAT response the IDEAL? Thanks everyone for sharing your perspectives. Love the humour, good cheer and facts shared. | |
| Is a FLAT response the IDEAL? Nice unsupported accusations about me there. Here’s some quotes from Wiki “The purposes of the equalization are to permit greater recording times (by decreasing the mean width of each groove), to improve sound quality, and to reduce the groove d... | |

| Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue If you like tests, run a listening test…generally the better the power cord for your system the better the results that you can hear. There is likely the same argument about 10/8 ga pc and any internal wiring in electronics. Shorter distances lowe... | |
| Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel? Jay’s Audio has many demos showing differences between pc’s in sound. Search them out if you want to.
