Which subwoofer should I get? @mwsl One of the things I’m concerned about is having the properly sized sub for my room, which is 19’x17’x9’ (peaked roof design) My room is very similar with a 13' peak and a 12' dining room open to the LR where my system resides. I have 2 ... | |
Which subwoofer should I get? I've used Rel subs for 20-25 yrs and have never seen a reason to change. I'm also a drummer who has sat near the bass amp for a long time. I know what a bass guitar (or stand up) sounds like. Rel produces that sound. But more importantly, its the ... | |
Conrad Johnson MF2250A / MF2500A vs CJ MF2275SE / MF2550SE The biggest difference is that the SE indicates it has the Teflon Caps. I had a 2500A but haven't heard the newer amps | |
sources for DIY speaker cables @ghdprentice 2008 Stereophile just for fun they added some wire they bought from Home Depot... a 10 guage 3 conductor extension cord. It was a 14-3 extension cord...orange with a black stripe. I have a pair somewhere. | |
Do Audio Hobbyists Commonly Fail to Fully Utilize Their Systems? This morning the timbre and soundstage is unlike I've ever heard from this chair. For a year at least I had two filters fighting each other squashing my tunes! You went for a year without noticing? What changed this morning? maybe you listened... | |
Black Sabbath and Jazz fans? Very interesting.. I've been a Sabbath fan since their 1st release. I've tried to get/like jazz for some time now and it just doesn't work for me. I do like David Sanborn, Lee Rittenaur Bob James, etc. But that too is limited. Though I like what I... | |
Any experience with VPI Super Prime scout with 10.5 inch tone arm I have had a couple VPI ScoutMaster tables *& arms. The unipivot arm is different, in that it wobbles some when cued for the 1st second as it finds its equilibrium. I always used the cuing lever so I never thought it to be a problem. Differ... | |
Legacy Focus SE or PS Audio FR20 As for testing with my Plinius, of course that would be ideal but virtually impossible given the amp is 35 years old and unlikely to be found in any listening room @aheydorn Is there a Legacy &/ or PSA dealer withing a reasonable distance.... | |
The rat’s nest of cabling. Large transformers in components. My discovery. Interesting and it makes sense. I have my TT taken apart awaiting me to install the new drive system. And I have been tempted to take the rack & equipment apart too. I wish I could spread it out like yours but I am limited to 2 side by side ra... | |
Room setting: new amp or new speakers? IMO you have a mis-match with the speakers & amp. The speakers are very inefficient @ 85db. Your amp is 60wpc. I like lower powered amps IE 45-60wpc because they tend to sound better IMO. That 'my take after 55 yrs of listening to high power ... | |
2024 Form 1099-K IRS tax reporting threshold on PayPal? I fail to understand why the government wants to bother with this. What am I missing? Control | |
Analog invites you to turn up the volume My TT Drive system has been down for 2+ months. I’ve listened to digita exclusively. I am a vinyl fan for one reason. It makes you get more involved because it must be physically handled. You must get up every 20 minutes to change the record. This... | |
How Many Times Do You Have To Listen To Understand A Piece Of Music? Ive listened to Led Zeppelin for 50+ years and I’m not sure I every understood it. (-: But I liked / like it. | |
Where should the Tubes Go in a Vintage Preamp / Amp System I agree with @viridian If your speakers are 91db efficient or above a 45-60 wpc tube amp will work. fine. I have 93.5 db efficient speakers and ran them fine with 35 wpc VTA Dynaco ST 70. I've had high power amps and low powered amps. Low power... | |
Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” I don't buy tube amps that need 8 tubes. Then too, my speakers are 93.5db efficient Joseph doesn't list the efficiency of theirs. But from my memory I believe they used to be about 88. IOW you may need the extra 4 tubes. Rogue makes an ST-100 that... |
