| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery @larryi How about this instead, if possible, replace with a circuit breaker. My cable/equipment manufacturing friend did so in his amplifiers after he heard the difference my boutique fuse made from the original Littlefuse. That’s one alternative ... | |
| Do your ears deceive you? @kevn Yes, that’s a certainty. Very few (none maybe) beginning audiophiles are capable of discerning acoustical properties which coincide with music reproduction at a high level unless hearing a audio system that can accomplish that. Being a music... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For I did it this year with the purchase of my Von Schweikert VR9 SE Mk2 upgraded sub-amps, etc., my Westminster Lab REI amps, my Jay's Audio CDt3 Mk3 and Lampizator Poseidon DAC/Pre-amp. In 2006, I upgraded to a VPI TNT VI+ with a Townshend Seismi... | |
| dac recommendations for turntable listener? I have immense experience in analog (several friends are also remastering engineers). We use the same cartridge (mine is low output-I love this cartridge for my mono and stereo LPs, 31,100 of them). I went through tube CD players and hated CD so... | |
| Do You Have to Play a Component to Warm it Up? @ozzy62 +1. I do not bring up politics with my very good and close audio friends who only vote for Democrats. I talk politics to all others. As to my Westminster Lab REI amps, I'm too much in a hurry to wait 30 to 45 minutes for full warm up. ... | |
| Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ? @unreceivedogma I did basically the same, from a 25X23X11.5 dedicated less expensive room to a very expensive, near SOTA 20X15X10 room where it was extremely easy to locate speakers correctly without DSP. It has 16-17" thick multi-layered and sea... | |
| The Horror @jji666 I agree. I began my higher end audio system at 13 with a Sony TC366 tape recorder. Through the years, I accumulated and replaced equipment without regard to room acoustics until my late 30s. Then I decided to concentrate on at least mak... | |
| Help me understand the current amp market @8th-note Power amps that double their power with halving their impedance do NOT have to be hot and heavy. My Class A Westminster Labs REIs are small, 35 lbs., top case runs at room temperature except for the small indented metal screen, goes from... | |
| My new B Stock speakers I just read an easier way to break in speakers, especially where one doesn’t want too much interference with their living quarters. Install a solid state integrated amp or stream or CD player on continuous repeat as a source and here’s the differe... | |
| Back to the DAC @navyachts Sorry to hear that. My Poseidon will be on the top shelf of a tall rack. I was able to place my Jay's Audio transport in a 10" high rack shelf. There's still 5" to slide the drawer open and place the CD with puck above it in one sm... | |
| Insurance for system @dhite71 Thank you very much! I will contact them this week. | |
| Insurance for system @dhite71 I am currently checking with Lloyds of London as my Nationwide carrier cancelled my 22 commercial property fire/liability/earthquake insurance policies (no claims 18 years) last year and I have 9 months left after cancelling/non-renewal o... | |
| Back to the DAC @hysteve When I installed my Jay Audio transport, even poorly mastered/recorded CDs took on life whereby I am keeping them (I have 15,900 CDs). Where I thought there was distortion is now just bad miking or has poor quality digital transfers. The ... | |
| Insurance for system @garebear Yes, I can replace my equipment but not 50% of my record and CD collection. I cannot replace my 7,000 78s, of which half are ethnic music. I cannot replace my limited edition CD collection of classical vocal, piano and string on labels... | |
| Insurance for system The cost is under $1,500 for almost $300,000 coverage. |
