| How do I know if my systems any good? The answer is, it is all relative. If you compare your system to a 10 dollar boom box, it is amazing. Compared to a 250k reference system, your system is likely not so great. I don’t know your system, but I can say with confidence that compared to... | |
| Best Connection Method for a Sub(s) Thanks everyone. That was not the answer I was expecting. It helped with a sub decision though. | |
| So This Really Is The End.... I'm totally relying on downloads, internet orders and Qobuz. Anyway, just feeling "sentimental so thanks!" Part of what we lose is the social interaction and that 'in store' experience. I think that is part of why you are feeling a sense of los... | |
| Happy Accident Crazy right. I sit further back from my speakers then the distance between them and have found the best soundstage when I don't have much toe in in the speaker. Really depends on the speaker and room. I was surprised how much a few changes will... | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch It's really disappointing to see how some members treat others. There are members with vast technical knowledge who post beneficial and accurate information to help us efficiently improve our audio systems and they are attacked and dismissed. It r... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. I agree with others. This will require a lot of leg work, and that is part of the fun. For that money you have to listen. The upside is that you know what you like and have a trained ear so I think you will know it when you hear it. You may li... | |
| Subwoofer recommendation I am not an expert but am happy with the Rythmik sub. I have a F12. You could get a couple for $2500. | |
| How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music? @cd318 & @onhwy61 Thanks. That is helpful. I am not a musician nor do I create or music - I am a consumer - and I often wonder - what is that instrument or is it a computer/synth or even does their voice really sound like that ?!. Your c... | |
| How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music? Taking a step back, how can we know the level of processing applied to music? I often wonder when listening to a passage or song the amount of post processing and the source of the sound: Voice, manipulated voice, computer, synth, instrument . ... | |
| Lumin U2 mini vs Mac laptop sound test @johnah5 Thanks for posting John. I use the Bluenode as a streamer and keep wondering about a high end streamer. Even if others can hear the difference, I am not sure I can as I don't have golden ears and am getting a bit older. If it was min... | |
| Advice on how to liquidate system I would say wait awhile too. I find many songs tell stories and I love those song even when the quality is not great. Some are old or just not perfect clarity, but listening to the story is still fun. I also listen to music on many different ty... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? @tony1954 Why did you select 80Hz for the crossover? Wouldn't lower be better to avoid the duplication as you say? I ask because I am still adjusting my subs crossover frequency and have it closer, but still above, the roll off freq of my mai... | |
| Who turns center off when listening to music For me, when I used a AVR receiver, I would play music with what ever setting I wanted that sounded the best. There are not rules. It was fun for live performances to use all 5 channels or at least 3.1. Usually though, just 2.1. Now that I a... | |
| Your experience of moving to two subs I had two SVS subs but was not happy with the quality of the bass for music. I moved to one F12 and I feel the quality is better. However, like the OP, I sense its location in the room and others can too, even though I left one of the SVS subs on ... | |
| Newly discovered All Them Witches is great. I listen to 7 Horse - new to me. Thanks. Check out Fink - Warm Shadow for example. And Ghost Town by Darrin Nauendorf. |
