Let's be a little meta: What topics are most hotly debated?


Fuses? Power conditioners? Analog vs. Digital? Class D amplification?


Nope.


The most hotly debated subject is bass.  What to do if you don't have enough, how to make it better, subwoofers, crossovers, EQs, room treatment.  Nothing launches more audiophiles out of there listening chairs faster.  Of course I'm guilty of this too, I've just realized that this is a subject with no end in sight.

This is slightly off-topic, although about bass. I was recently standing next to a young fellow who was talking to a woman, appearantly a friend of his Mother's. He was telling her of his new 1000 watt sub-amp installed in his Honda. So I commented to him how my stereo system  has a 1 watt amp for each side in my living room. He looked at me bewildered not knowing if it were some sort of joke ...
+1 twoleftears...so the debate is actually how to get the bass you want without doing what you know you need to do...



My Aztec Goddess of coffee and chocolate, this is true.
What happened?  I leave for 4 hours and there's already a stream of deleted posts.  :D :D :D
LOL
Every audiophile that knows anything knows to get true bass in ones system you must:

Use class D amplification (everything else is a compromise)

Use SR orange fuses (only)

Run each sub (at least six) though a power conditioner & dedicated transformer that has symmetrical power balanced outlets 

Use only (& I mean only) Kaplan power cables. They may be hard to find but nothing else will do

And for Pete's sake don't expect anything but inferior results if your front end isn't a turntable with a Wheaton arm & Accuphase AC-2 cartridge

You're welcome
