| Selling, donating or giving away a good pair of vintage speakers I'm late to the party but on Craig's list I like to sell at a low price. There are resellers who will swarm you for free stuff but only people actually interested in your item will see it with a $5 price. This gets it to an actual interested par... | |
| Help, my system seem to have slowly gotten " bright" @rhg3 has a great suggestion. Listen to one frequency at a time. If you have a way to play youtube through your system, test frequencies are available on youtube. As for hearing suggestions, your change is in the opposite direction of normal he... | |
| Shouldn’t Do This, but… @2psyop I've been shocked by 120V ac dozens of times over my lifetime. I have never stood in a bathtub and tried to fish toast out of a toaster with a gold plated knife, but I've never worried about 120V. My question is to you is, do you really ... | |
| Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ? I have one non-negotiable. SET. So amp first, then speakers to match. The source is fungible. | |
| Help, my system seem to have slowly gotten " bright" Often "bright" is actually a lack of bass. Make sure you consider the possibility of bass reduction over the years as you cogitate about this. | |
| Help needed - Only one channel playing! @soix Preamps are becoming obsolete. Most source components (other that TT) provide more than adequate voltage to drive an amp. I much prefer passive Transformer Volume Control. Volume control in roon is much better than many other choices. So... | |
| T.H.E. Show in Costa Mesa on Friday Thanks for the shoutout Neil. We are happy to be able to get a pretty good setup in the hotel room and the system is sounding good. Anyone who comes to the show please stop by and say Hello. I haven't had time to visit much of the show yet but... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords I've been on the anti-rhodium bandwagon since the first time I saw it advertised. Using a 3 prong plug is good business as it makes a more solid connection (physical, not electrical) and it makes sure you are properly polarized. Most cords w... | |
| Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need? I haven't owned an amp over 6 watts per channel for quite a while. My new amp weighs 300 lbs and makes 4 wpc. --Jerry | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience I have the MU1 and I'm considering the MU2. But haven't experienced one yet. Jerry | |

| why expensive streamers @nigeltheflash I read it quite a while ago and wish I had bookmarked it as it was quite the revelation to me. I too struggled with explaining why if the excel spreadsheet you send me is perfect, why is the streamed music file imperfect. I'll fin... | |
| why expensive streamers @nigeltheflash My understanding is from streamer manufacturers. I referenced googling because I thought YOU would believe it better if you read it on the internet. Indeed it is hard to find this info. Jerry | |
| why expensive streamers @nigeltheflash either you didn't read my first post in this thread or your read it and didn't believe it. After all, I'm just a rando on the internet. The difference you, and others in this thread are missing, is that 99% of all data trasfer ... | |
| why expensive streamers Everyone keeps talking about noise. I guess this is natural. but that isn't the main problem. The problem is dropped bits. If a bit is missing, a streamer has to improvise. guess. fill it in, often with an interpolation. So there is no nois... |
