| Music Machine RV, I hope you are well today. I listen, first, to the musicianship, the performance, and the composition (I consider all three as one). There is a reason I put that music on, at that moment in time. I am not fooled, as these are recordings we are... | |
| is McIntosh known for good dynamics? Who here is it that stated the Focal Sopra 2 is 98 db efficient? Focal specs them at 91 db. Most amps would be able to drive a 98db efficient speaker, although they have a measured nominal impedance of 8 ohm, and a low of 3.1 ohms. Just a friendly... | |
| No sound @rvpiano, I responded on your most recent thread posting. | |
| Does loudness play a part in your appreciation? @kennyc would there not be nagging over the higher volume? . | |
| No preamp in system @rvpiano . Hey L.I. buddy, I hope life is treating you well, as well as can be expected. Turning 71 soon, and I have to say, my ears still are quite youthful (thank goodness). I talk to my good friend from N.J. on our cells, I’m in FL., and I easi... | |
| Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes? Handling anything with fingers always adds oil artifacts; why would you want oil on tubes, light bulbs, etc. Oil attracts dust......I no longer use tube gear, but when I did, I used latex medical gloves....I still use these gloves when I open gear... | |

| New Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 & La Scala AL6 will be active DSP Crossover @phusis , yeah, gummies do that to me sometimes, as I know better with these designs, believe me, and which is why I deleted that post. Thank you for the explanation! My best, MrD. | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? A few comments from me, although I have not read all of the responses. Power cords do make a difference in sound quality, and it is up to the individual (1) hear the difference; (2) conclude if it is an improvement to then, or not. I have exchange... | |
| New Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 & La Scala AL6 will be active DSP Crossover Klipsch has not used metal horns in these models for many years now, but proper damping of these horns could be easily accomplished eliminating the "ringing" that they were known for. This new Lascala has a somewhat newly designed doghouse, now us... | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype I have had several dacs through the years, nothing over $1k retail. They all sounded different in one way or the other. Warmth, coldness, detail, tone, spatiality, dynamics, etc. But most important to me, mostly, is the PRAT of the device (discuss... | |
| Vintage tube amplifier repair St Pete, Sarasota, Tampa area A little late, but....my tech is in Winter Springs, Fl (Orlando). Kris Rhoades-Fine Tuned Audio. Awesome guy....as a backup if the others do not work out. My best, MrD. | |
| This Might Not Exist, Any reasonably priced, smaller speakers with 100db Sensitivity? Klipsch Heresy, any series (based on price/new,used)...I am partial to Klipsch....I like what they do. Good luck, MrD. | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? I would recommend a pair of RSL 12 S subs. I have had many of the subs listed above, and I have to say, the RSLs are "musical", if anyone could know the meaning of what this term says. Very hard to match subwoofers to my Klipsch Lascala dog houses... | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. My question would be this. Based on your "music listening" preferences, what sound and performance characteristics would you like more of than what the Fritz are providing to you? What areas of improvement are you looking to achieve? If dynamics, ... |
