| How accurate are cable descriptions for your system? how accurately do you find those descriptions matching up to what you eventually here, if you try the cables? I’d give it some credence. But it often comes down to a matter of scale. IOW, the bass may be 90% for one and 10% for another. It also... | |
| How accurate are cable descriptions for your system? The Tuneful cables are a Belden cable. Similar to what Bluejeans cable do, , They buy the bulk Belden cables and terminate them. Not meant as a slur on BJ, just a fact. I suspect the same from SVS & the other co. on Amazon. IF one is not inc... | |
| Can a DAC sort out a flat\cold amp? Those of you who keep harping on this amp are totally wrong. I have heard this amp with a set of monitor speakers in a rather large showroom with NO sub. The speakers are Watkins Gen 4 which are winners of the Golden ear &editors Choice Awards... | |
| Choosing the right SUT for my setup I've never understood why someone would choose a SUT except as a temporary solution when going to LOMC from MM. I did this when I first started using LOMC. It would seem that the compromise is more than the benefit. You will have a n extra compone... | |
| The Audiophile's Wife @grannyring Wow! I just came across this. Your wife is a hoot!! I love here style of writing. Thanks.for the laughs | |
| Turntable noobie...what advice do you have? Learn the Goldmine Standard of record grading & to sight grade a used LP so that you have a good idea of whether it has surface noise. I do NOT buy anything under a VG+ grade. Read the Goldmine grading scale and learn it. Find used sellers th... | |
| Awaiting a 1st impression I remember back in the 1900’s when the people were so dumb as to actually dislike and not support those countries who were carrying out genocide and had a record of barbaric human rights violations. Its so nice that this woke generation has come t... | |
| Awaiting a 1st impression @boostedis To those bashing MIC, there are manufacturing techniques that can only be done in China because the US (and others) don't possess the technique! | |
| Advice on online shipping labels @sns Thank you for the info. Glad you told me about USPS because I had pretty much determined to use them since they were only $116. The online shipping calculator .com and Pirate ship, both have good information from what I have seen. So I will... | |
| Advice on online shipping labels I'm not trying to sell it. I'm upgrading it. This the need to ship. But if I were selling I'd agree with you | |
| finding the weak link @rhach Very nice. The Manley Chinook is supposedly a great bang for the buck. Kevin Deal really likes them. I have never heard it but I trust the opinions of those who have them. You should be very happy with that upgrade FWIW I'd wait a coupl... | |
| Looking for a change. 90 wpc is plenty of power for the speakers which are 91db efficient. If you want to make them sing introduce tube amp. If that doesn't float you boat then add a couple subs, preferably Rel to the mix | |
| Can a DAC sort out a flat\cold amp? Like @jasonbourne52 , I doubt it is the amp. I have heard this amp and it didn't sound bad to me. Aamof Bill Watkins used that amp to demo the Gen 4 speakers which go down to 41 hz. There was no doubt that they hit the 41hz.. I suspect something e... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? J Geils - Bloodshot Billy Joel - 52nd Street Crack The Sky - Safety In Numbers J Geils never could capture the magic in the studio that they did in concert. Peter Wolf knew how to hold a crowd. Though I had heard Billy Joel on the radio while w... | |
