| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? Listening to music is a hard habit to break | |
| USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole I see no reason to engage further with @soix due to him obviously being a legend in his own mind. I will add one thing to my original post, as long as the cable you are using for USB service can pass the bandwidth of data being transmitted, its al... | |
| New construction ceiling advise @noromance I agree with everything you said. @dekay Thanks for the tip on leaving rafters open...since we are rebuilding I am giving consideration to this idea. Could use a break on taxes for sure. My taxes went up 37% in one year. OUCH! So I wi... | |
| USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole @dvvilkins Save your money, if the cable does not have physical defects, there will be no difference whatsoever in the sound quality. There well might be some difference how flexible it is or how pretty it is but if the upgrade is for sound qualit... | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? I have had equipment combinations that prevented getting full power out of the amplifier because the input signal was too low. The primary advantage of an active preamp other than source selection and equalization is assuring there is enough level... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... @curlyhifi - I'm with you on this one...hopefully I'll be able to buy good cheap Quality amplification and thereby divert more money for quality speakers. There are only so many dollars to throw at this obsession and I want to maximize my benefit ... | |
| 2025 Audio System Wish List Time! To expand on the previous post I had 11 zones in my home with either two or 5.2 channel video/audio and hopefully sometime around june I will get to move back into my home and begin refurnishing it with a/v gear for those 11 locations. My expectat... | |
| Things we cannot be bothered by anymore I cannnot be bothered with endless discussions on particular cable superiority regardless of the kind of cable it is. * - listening to modern rock and roll and whatever millennials call music today... * - No Effin rap please, or hip hop, or Nine... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. I remember her and have always liked her music. Tonight when I was playing the trombone, I cued up a few of her songs to remember her and expand my list of familiar songs to play. I have always loved her voice and always thought it tragic that her... | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? I am perhaps a unique position. I like classical music and often when I am in the mood to listen that is what I want. I live on the fringe of what may be the best classical station on the east coast. I can nearly receive it live over the air on a ... | |

| Speakers better without subwoofers? Crossover and synchronization issues? What do you do @knotscott - I agree with everything you said, and one thing people tend to forget is that when the main speakers can run full range, its probably a good idea to use most of that range on the main speakers, unless you are having problems getting l... | |
| How Many Times Can You Split A Subwoofer Signal Using A "Y" Connector? @mitch4t the answer depends on the source output impedance as to how many you can drive, but my thought is this, IF you are using room correction for a swarm of subs, each one will need its own phase and delay setting and if the receiver only has ... | |
| What do you know and how do you like the RCA 5963 Black Plates? I wish I understood the appeal of tubes...but I really just don't get it, even my very 1st transistorized amplifier I liked better than any tube amp I had heard at that point...from then on it was just technology that had lived well past its prime... | |
| what is more popular silver or black face plates it amazes me all the reasons people have for their choices. As I am seriously considering the purchase of a Marantz HT processor and it comes in both colors, I am strongly considering the silver just because I think it looks better and is less lik... |
