| How much reality do you really need? Everyone’s "reality" is different, as is everyone’s system, room, recordings etc...so in essence it is not achievable. One may think he has reality, while another may think it sounds like crap. There are way too many variables at hand, not to ment... | |
| So how can a great system solve less than great recordings Some of my best recordings are from the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. They knew how to record and master back then, today it is mostly a lost art and most remasters suck in my opinion. So, in answering the question in regards to making old recordings soun... | |
| Stratospheric audio gear prices You gets what you pay for, mostly....although there are tons of more economical audio products, so called "bang for the buck" available, but I won't bore you. | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Speakers blu tacked to stands is all you need. Stands spiked through carpet and in contact with concrete. Stands filled with atabites.....works for me.Atacama custom built stands for Tannoy Eatons, built like a tank. | |
| Table for your Turntable? Show ‘em offf! Apollo wall shelf made of solid steel. Replaced wooden insert with a maple butcher block acoustics 1.5 inch slab. You could sit on the shelf if you wanted to, it ain't budging, mounted to concrete. Looks great and provides all the isolation I'll e... | |
| Bin dug noisy records. Does it diminish your enjoyment? I’ll never understand why some pops and clicks or whatever would bother someone so much....to be honest, even my so called bin dug lp’s sound rather nice. It is the quality of the recording that matters most to me, despite a few imperfections of n... | |
| Ignored Offers The answer is ebay....I've had way better luck selling there... | |
| Turntable help/recommendation with specific setup Get the music hall mmf-7.3 with the included 2m bronze....best deal out there. The walnut version is beautiful. $1795 | |
| Garth Powell on Why Audioquest does not make AC Regenerators I like my niagara 1200 and my Furman pst-8, both designed by Garth Powell. Great quality for not a lot of money. | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers Never drink and shop at same time. | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... So if they are marked with arrow, you are going to install then backwards? Not me, I'll install based on the arrows and be happy. Whether I hear it or not, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 😜 | |
| At This Time Can We Recreate Full Range Live Music In The Home? No, and if someone says yes then they are just fooling themselves or drinking heavily. | |
| Thinking outside the bean Tannoys, no room treatments except normal mix of furnishings. Class A amplification, proper placement of speakers. I often have sounds emanating from "well" beyond the speakers. Try several Johnny cash records, you will see what I mean if your sys... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... Class D, good for powered subs and car stereo amps, and that’s about it. All my opinion. No class D in my house, except my powered tannoy sub in my dedicated home theater set up. Hifi run by class A. | |
| An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers That’s why I bought real speakers made by the oldest manufacturer of such, Tannoy....I try to avoid buying Junk from the new guy on the block with little experience who throw mud at wall to see if it sticks...10 tweeters, really? How bout one that... |
