| My First OverHead Projector I have a BenQ 3550, a nice 4K pixel-shifting projector from about 2020. The TK860i is a close replacement for under $2,000, and the somewhat more expensive 4550i is an LED unit that kinda owns the $3000 price range right now. My next buy. The E... | |
| Is my amp good enough? Congratulations, The MA Gold 300 5Gs have only won like 6 major international awards. In other words, they're pretty awesome. They're also relatively efficient and relatively low impedance, both of which play well into your current amps strengths,... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @h4k4lugi Thanks for posting that. I have no doubt bringing in Shunyata to design and implement a fully developed and integrated power, grounding, and interconnect strategy can yield a 10dB improvement in a studio. But that is a very different thi... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @jacobsdad2000 zzzzzzz ? Yeah, that would be a grounding issue. As in your lack of grounding in basic physics and electronics. | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? Still waiting. See I'm one of those guys who actually took a physics class, studied power distribution and networking, and practiced it professionally for nearly 50 years, and have seen and heard, if not all, most of the tweaks in that time. Here... | |
| BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard? "None But The Lonely Heart" 1997 release by Chris Anderson and Charlie Haden on Naim. Yes, that Naim. Anderson was Chick Corea's piano teacher but retired from performing due to his blindness and degenerative bone disease that made playing extreme... | |
| SME tonearms on a japanese market Visualize a knife, edge up, placed transversely across the armtube. Now, fit the armtube in a metal block with a presisely machined 'V' groove that is placed on the knife edge and balanced. You have now created a stable, extremely low-friction, ra... | |
| KEF LS60: Distance from wall behind them @dbphd Bass management and crossovers are two different beasts, and one is definitely not a substitute for the other. The only exception to this is that most AVRs bass management does crossover as well as level and EQ. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I have no problem with equalizers for adjusting recordings. And despite the conspiratorial (mis)beliefs of those who deny room acoustics and speak of 'the Room Treatment Cabal', an equalizer can only impact the input into a room, not the acoustica... | |
| New pre-amplifier? First of all, it is illegal in every state to sell a used product as new stock. That said, B-stock, returns, or factory refurbs get another round of quality testing before sale, and so actually have a lower failure rate than new components. Some... | |
| Which is better, a fussy speaker or a versatile one? Substitute 'spouse/partner' for 'speaker' and you'll have your answer. Musicians have addressed this issue forever, perhaps none better than Delbert McClinton when he sang "One of the Fortunate Few". https://youtu.be/RF_cQ3coetc?si=RdDOavxxCHFU7_b... | |
| Combo Streamer/Headphone Amp @soix @dinosore Tanks for your input. I hadn't considered a dongle. I have a late model Samsung tablet that would work for this. Do the dongles provide a charger passthrough, or am I either on charge or on dongle? | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? Amplifiers, preamplifiers, DACs make very expensive tone controls. And especially when you're trying to address the fundamental voicing of your speakers. Getting your room treatments right is never a bad idea, do I'd start there. And if that doesn... | |
| From pass xa25 to krell k-300i How about some context? Like what speakers, in how big of a room and what kind of music do you listen to at what level. That would be helpful. | |
| Primer on SSD and internal hard drives Whoa, a topic with general consensus! That never happens here. OK, Spinning disks are the past. SSDs are the future. No moving parts so less power, less heat, longer life, and absolutely no SQ difference. Spinning disks deserve a special place ... |
