| Tight bass sub recommendations I like Rythmik's servo designs. They have a wide range of models for different budgets and needs. Two (or more) subs are usually better than one, but you can definitely improve your listening experience with a single sub. | |
| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? @audiokinesis Let's remember also that the Heresy is a sealed design and has no ports to help out with bass extension. I'm not sure if mr. horn is just trolling, but many people prefer monitors much smaller than the Heresy with the same or less b... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Just listened to Weezer's Black Album (liked it a lot!), now I'm playing Tom Petty - The Best of Everything (Tidal). | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ummagumma | |
| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? Klipsch are what got me "serious" about this hobby. I've always had stereos, turntables, etc. since I was a teenager, but nothing of "audiophile" quality and as my finances allowed I focused more on home theater than 2 channel audio.I was at a lo... | |
| Qobuz Windows App I cancelled my trial. I'll give it another try in the future perhaps. Besides the performance of the app, I miss the "daily mix" and "my mix" playlists that Spotify and Tidal create. Both do a nice job of putting together music I enjoy while pl... | |
| Tubes vs SS preamp question.... I have tubes all the way - Rogue Audio M180 amps, Modwright LS 100 preamp, and Manley Chinook phono pre with Legacy Audio Focus 20/20 speakers. Definitely not too much of a good thing (to me), but none of those components have a strong "tubey" so... | |
| What's your go-to cheapie cartridge? A little north of your limit on price, but the Denon DL-301MK2 is a bargain at $400. I bought my last one for a lot less when Comet Supply was still selling them. | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? The Chinook will be a nice upgrade over the Tube Box and you should be very happy with it. | |
| Record cleaning and care Record cleaning is a good idea, even with new records. I buy a lot of used records and had gotten a bit lax recently, not cleaning them all. The shop I buy most of them from cleans most of their records (except the bargain bin stuff) with a VPI ... | |
| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? My hypocrisy knows no bounds. | |
| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? "First of all, it's a Klipsch..."I remember watching this a while ago, it is pretty funny. For the record, I have some Heresy I speakers and a have owned and still have a number of other Klipsch speakers (KLF-30, RF-7, RF-5, CF-3, CF-2, and a few... | |
| Technics SL-1700 feet You might look here: https://mnpctech.com/turntable-feet-replacement-isolation/I have no experience (yet) with their products, but just ordered a set of the large feet for my JVC turntable. I'll report back once I get them. The JVC turntable ha... | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? I had a project tube box, I think it was the tube box S. It was okay, but there was a noticeable improvement when I replaced that with a jolida jd9. The musical surroundings Nova phonomena was also an improvement over the tube box. My most dramati... | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? The Bluesound Node 2 is a great value and so is the Parks Puffin when talking about new products at MSRP.Some good deals I've come across... Perhaps the best was a pair of Klipsch CF-2 V1 speakers for $75. I picked up a vintage JVC QL-Y66F direct ... |
