| Stuff You Tried To Love That happened to me with a McIntosh amp and preamp. I gave them about six months, a period where I tried different cables and different speaker positions. To be fair, it was a great sounding combo and I loved the look, but it just wasn't checking ... | |
| Equalizer to compensate for hearing loss - Any success stories? I paired a Schiit Loki with their Vali 2 headphone amp coupled with a pair of their custom short interconnects, a Sony NW-A105 Hi-res player and Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 headphones for a really sweet set-up. | |
| Microphonics, Feedback and Bob Carver Some people can sit on a small rise above a serene valley on a beautiful spring day and just marvel at the wondrous view. Others never get to really enjoy the view because they get too wrapped up in trying to figure out why it's so wondrous. As Bo... | |
| Kids, Dogs, and Speakers Many years ago when I was a vertically challenged person living in a house full of like individuals and something got broken, my dad would just sigh and lament how foolish it was to try and have nice things in a house full of kids. Doesn't answer ... | |
| Look at these beauties If I had some of those I would feel like Saddam Hussein with his gold guns 😁 | |
| Value of a preamp? I'm an audio troglodyte. I like tone controls and most preamps have them, at least the ones I own! | |
| Can I turn my 2-way Bookshelf speakers 90°…? I have a small set-up in my hobby workshop, a 10' x 12' room that has a 9' ceiling. It's occupied by two work benches set in one corner to form an "L" with wall mounted cabinets over them and one seated work station per bench. Since the opposite c... | |
| Best Covers For my money, the king of covers will always be Joe Cocker! | |
| What happens when the stylus tip wears out on a $12,000 cartridge? Reading this reminded me of a wonderful quote by George Gobel when he found himself on Johnny Carson's couch with Bob Hope and Dean Martin. I'm definitely a pair of brown shoes on this couch. 😉 | |
| shy about prices My shopping method is very simple in regards to price. If it’s not readily available, I won’t waste my valuable time hunting for it. As others have stated, in many cases, the amounts they are asking for speakers are outrageously inflated. | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? I have been both pleased and impressed with these SKW speaker cables that I purchased on Amazon. | |
| Would you buy a pair of speakers by just looking at the measured freq. response? On any equipment I buy, which is pretty much everything I buy, I do exhaustive research on manufacturer history and reputation if I am not already familiar with them. I pour over all the reviews I can find with emphasis on actual user reviews firs... | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality I can tell you from personal and current experience that the Cambridge CXN V2 has excellent sound, and thanks to their proprietary Stream Magic operating system, it's very easy to use. I stream Qobuz and have been quite happy with the performance. | |
| Will audio gear be ok in unheated house Rather than using garbage bags, use moving size cling wrap to wrap your gear. It can be purchased on Amazon or at Home Depot. The 20" wide rolls work well for audio components and speakers. I use it to store my audio equipment that is not currentl... | |
| Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described Guess I was lucky on my first and so far only purchase on Audiogon. Got exactly what was described. Personally, I would never buy monitor or bookshelf sized speakers that weren't listed as shipping in original packaging. For floor standers, regard... |
