| Upgrading @theaudioamp , I just uploaded a new pic I took about 10 mins ago. Will post more as they filter in on my email. I'm not sure you can see the SR HFT's I have all over the place in the room, but I assure you, they're in there. :) Let me know when ... | |
| Upgrading @theaudioamp , Shame you missed the "work in progress" part of the description of my room. ;) "Nasty" LOL. I don’t care what you buy. Really don’t. That’s the reason I didn’t mention a specific manufacturer. You’re struggling to come up with ... | |
| Large amp fan for Classe CAV150 Heat is the danger, but given adequate ventilation and cooling, if the manual states it can handle it, it will handle it. Classe makes good stuff. Their specs, (and their manuals) mean what they say. Happy listening! | |
| Upgrading Ever notice how the cable deniers almost never have their systems listed? Ever wonder why that is? @theaudioamp , yes it makes sense. If you run with the premise that cables DO make a difference (and I can assure you they do in my system. It’s ... | |
| Upgrading Power cords, Interconnects, then speaker cables is my recommendation. Try to get a full loom going if you can swing it. (Avoid "Cable Stew" of all different mixed/matched brand names/types. Though I admittedly have a couple of different PC’s in m... | |
| What say you binding posts or direct wire? I'm OK with my binding posts. Perhaps not having them might make a slight difference/improvement, but there are just some things that convenience is going to win out on. Binding posts are definitely on that list. | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? @tweak1 Yes, I still have them. I bought them used and made a 10 hour round trip to pick them up. I am super pleased with them. Remarkable speakers (especially for what I paid for them!) Definitely eye-opening (ear-opening?) You can see them i... | |
| MoFi controversy I think the only people who are upset are the ones that have been: 1. Screaming (loudly) that analog is the only way to go and that digital sucks. 2. Extolling the virtues of MoFi’s products and using it as a basis to support point #1. I’m a di... | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? Rogers Ls3/5a's. Emerald Physics Carbon 2.8's. | |
| MoFi controversy $125 for a vinyl pressing of a SACD you can buy for under $30. Ouch. | |
| Do Recording Studios Use Silver Cables I can't say for sure, but I imagine it has to do with the quality of the studio. I know that Pink Floyd, when they were recording Dark Side of the Moon, went through every single cable they could get their hands on during the recording/mixing/mas... | |
| Audio stops pain Audio pains my wallet. | |
| Helping friends/relatives with system purchases, your experience. Most of my friends/relatives love to come over and listen to my system. However, most of them don’t realize that there is some commitment involved (room setup, WAF, space required, acoustic treatments involved, etc....). And that all rooms sound ... | |
| How did you get started in this hobby I've always been a music fan. I grew up on rock and roll (The Who was the first band I was into). I wanted to be a guitarist when I was a teen, played in a couple of bands, that kind of thing. When I was about 19, my roommate at the time knew a ... | |
