| Subwoofers: Do you turn them off when you are done for the day? No. My JL Audio subs go into sleep mode automatically after the music stops. I unplug everything when there is a thunderstorm. | |
| Digital Remastering: Last 5 years..... Now in the year 2026, almost all of my 1000 or so CDs are the remastered versions, and almost all of them sound fabulous. | |
| ACCUPHASE d-570S VS. LUXMAN D-07X SACD PLAYERS If you can, listen to the McIntosh MCD600 SACD/CD player. I purchased it after comparing to other very good brands. It may sound great to you too. | |
| Is my new amp TOO GOOD? Before you spend more money, try facing your speakers straight ahead (no toe-in) and placing your listening seat closer to the plane of the speakers compared to the distance between the speakers. That should reduce the treble energy you're hearing... | |
| An Audio Amateur's question about McIntosh Audio I’ve read Stereophile articles where it was mentioned the reviewer bought the McIntosh review sample. Personally, I purchased an MCD600 McIntosh SACD/CD player after comparing it with other well-regarded brands because in my system, to my ears, i... | |
| $35000 to $40,000. speakers what would you buy and why? Powered Vandersteens. I love my B&W 803 D3, but they absolutely require subs, which I have, hence the Vandy recommendation. Plus, Vandy's image and soundstage like your Maggies, which is to say, they sound beautiful. | |
| Why for the life of me I can’t stay awake when listening to Music? I love how my system sounds. I sit exactly in the sweet spot. Eyes closed. No talking. I listen attentively for soundstage and imaging cues, spectral balance, timbres, clarity and dynamics. Well-recorded albums sound so realistic they elicit ... | |
| For lovers of real Rock 'n' Roll. @buellrider97 Love Chris Isaak! His voice and the sound quality of his albums I have are sublime. Absolutely gorgeous. | |
| Does the Devore Fidelity Orangutan 0/96 speaker play rich and full bodied at 50 Decibels OP, your post got me thinking, so this morning I played music I'm very familiar with at 50-56 dB. My listening room noise floor level is around 37 dB. And guess what? It sounded really good! I heard all the octaves the same as what I hear when I'... | |
| What blues are you listening to today? SRV, Zep, Chris Isaak, Hot Tuna | |
| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums Rolling Stones Midnight Rambler ABC When Smokey Sings ABC Be Near Me Depeche Mode Personal Jesus Simple Minds Alive And Kicking Simple Minds She's A River INXS New Sensation INXS Not Enough Time | |
| Low volume (loudness) listening Another +1 for 'phones | |
| Does the Devore Fidelity Orangutan 0/96 speaker play rich and full bodied at 50 Decibels I've never owned speakers that sound rich and full at 50 dB. To my ears, my system sounds best when played at 80-85 dB. For songs I really wanna jam to, 85-90 dB is righteous. Rock on! | |
| Best concert you've attended @shtinkydog Made me smile. Thanks for sharing similar memories. | |
| Is Sound Stage an artifact of recording? I think you're referring more to "imaging" than a soundstage. Yes, at a live event the images are definitely more diffuse than what I hear on my system. |
