| Sensitivity 86 v 90 Look at the impedance dip. That is where things make a difference. I had Salk Songtowers...easy to drive at 6 ohms and 88db efficiency with 30 watts. And great sounding speakers in their cost range. BUT it dipped into the 3 ohm range momentarily.... | |

| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... My only advice is to listen more. | |
| Do I buy an upscale TT? Number one question I thought about when I read this post is: 'what did the room look like'? From my own experience components seem to be a noticeable but minor actor in the equation. When changing the components, you will be ’tweaking’ the qualit... | |
| I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's That's the problem with boomers...and that's why Gen X has to clean up all the damage they've done. And I love the 'greatest generation' moniker...classic narcism! All good though...no generation is without its flaws. I was born in 1967. So thi... | |
| Speakers with deep/powerful bass I had Salk Songtowers that, all of a sudden, had deep, powerful bass. Had them for years before I put them in a new position. I thought the reviews of this speaker’s bass response were mostly hyperbole until I placed them in a decent room, in a de... | |
| diffuser or absorption panels, which would you choose? I'll take the bait. I would use only absorption. Why? Because I can control how much I use. I would treat the front 1/3 of the room first to deal with first reflection issues. Then I would proceed with caution. Having said that, I don't use spe... | |
| Need advice for upgrading my analog setup +1 for the Technics 1200G. It is definitely a buy once table. It looks great in person. Would love to see it go head-to-head with the SOTA. If I didn't get the Technics, I would have gotten a SOTA. | |
| Quad panel outlet - can I do one circuit on this? It is better to use two duplexes instead of a single quad for this reason: With 2 duplexes, you have an improved ability to arrange power cords to mitigate interference and interplay. I was able to remove a persistent hum simply by rerouting ca... | |
| Buying Equipment Based on Philosophy??? Although I appreciate a brand's philosophy...what it stands for, the truth is in the performance. People can say all they want but the 'proof is in the pudding' for me. Such is nature...a successful design survives. | |
| Headphones vs speakers…. Either can be a great a experience. However, you're missing something important with headphones. Headphones completely isolate left channel from right channel. Stereo is engineered so that the right ear hears some of the left speaker and and vice ... | |
| My terrible Customer Journey with the Line Magnetic LM-503PA Mono Vacuum Tube Amps Based on favorable reviews from knowledgeable people, I really wanted to buy LM. But finding a reputable dealer and navigating through retail websites left me feeling concerned about getting into LM stuff. I next went with Don Sachs for my amp b... | |
| Want to add vinyl to my system. You don't need to spend a fortune. Use LPs sound better than most audiophile reissues. Re: Turntable and Phono stage...just buy used. Personally I prefer turntables that use a detachable headshells. It makes changing, aligning and handling car... | |
| Speakers that are good with tubes I bought a tube amp that had 4 ohm taps and speakers that were 6 ohm nom. Speakers had an impedance dip into the 3 ohm range. Ran them for the first year on the 4 ohm taps and they sounded fine. Then for kicks, tried the 8 ohm taps and never went ... | |
| Improve sound Upgrade the room first. There's always something you can do to improve the room. It plays the biggest roll in the system's sound signature. Many here know this but really hit a wall (pun intended) and never fully exploit the room's potential, mys... |
