| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Embrace the 2nd and 3rd harmonic distortion at low levels is the message. If you don’t like the message then move on. Certainly - the message seems to be that the 2nd and 3rd harmonics are better than the hash of 4th + . I would like to see an... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Loudspeakers are the number one producer of distortion. Distortion needs to be embraced, not made the focus of elimination ^This^ is total BS. Fat girls or guys also need to be embraced, but I am not embracing them. Coincidentally the Purifi ... | |
| What is the best tonearm for a SOTA Nova turntable? What table do you own? @gyneguy225 Hi John, it is a SOTA Sapphire. I spent months looking and listening and the receipt says 8/8/84. There is no dishonour is not rushing into it. And the old setup was pretty nice, so the extra $ may not trans... | |
| What is the best tonearm for a SOTA Nova turntable? I spoke to Donna today, and she still recommends the Origin live tonearm. I found out that there are a number of upgrades for my 30 year old SOTA for about $3000 total, but I'll still have a 30yo turntable. I'm stepping back a bit, and consideri... | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps Based upon Duckworp's post, have you scheduled an appointment with an audiologist/ENT? All the suggested equipment fixes are nonsense if you don't address the root cause of your problem! I thought that @duckworp post was veery good, and someth... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @kuribo generally agree, but what is your point? Is it that you want to see specs? Or listen to it? Or what am I missing? If a bunch of people with speaker-X say that they like electronics-A, B and C, then I think to myself, “I should s... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Strictly speaking, Fletcher-Munson and the like are not rules or laws, but rather experimentally derived models of human aural perception. They are built on averages and generalities- in the case of Fletcher-Munson the results are said to apply t... | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters The only difference between what is called leaded glass and that which isn't is the amount of lead used in the formulation. You actually ALMOST answered your own comment in the statement about the definition of Dielectric etc. I didn't claim that... | |
| Isn’t the forum to post reviews of gear you have experience with? Opinions buy others regarding items I use, if positive and possibly adoringly noting how smart and generally wonderful my taste is, are always welcome. Otherwise i don’t wanna hear it. @wolf_garcia gthose silver speaker cables you have are crea... | |
| Suggestion for $10K soup to nuts digital? What about just purchasing software for your Mac - Roon and HQ player? You can then either go straight into a network ready DAC or purchase an endpoint - like Sonore - to "convert" the ethernet into USB for a USB DAC. Roon and HQ player will cost... | |
| Bookshelf vs diffuser panel. Who wins? Does anyone have experienced with the vertical blinds, say on a window behind the speakers, as opposed to having curtains there as a diffuser panel? | |
| Power cords or power conditioner A picture of my room is right here on my profile when I post 😂. It’s a general purpose basement, a portion of it housing my audio system. It’s all how far one is willing to go on this hobby. If one is not allowed by the SO, or the proverbial “…... | |
| Isn’t the forum to post reviews of gear you have experience with? So I joined this forum in 2006 because I value others opinions. But in a recent thread @kuribo states the following below…. Personally I value everyone’s opinions especially in different types of systems and rooms. Yes it’s just an opinion. Bu... | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? it's a pain to add images here You’ve painted a good image of the frustration just using words. | |
| What is the best tonearm for a SOTA Nova turntable? @ghdprentice I believe that the PH2 gain is 42dB, but it seems like it sounds pretty good. Just it does not seem like enough gain for many newer MC carts. Maybe I should have stuck with it? (But I can always use it in the shed if I get another T... |
