| Classical Music for Aficionados Yes, I have headphones, but I still prefer the speakers. But, you’re right, without the subwoofers the sound is definitely off, lacks body.. ‘Hopefully the amps will arrive today. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados The amplifiers on my Triton 1 speakers’ subwoofers were broken by a power surge in my neighborhood. Consequently I’m not listening to much music with a lot of bass lately. I’ve begun a project of listening to the Beethoven string quartets. So far ... | |
| Surge protector The amps have shipped and should arrive Tuesday. Unfortunately, I am not the least bit handy, so I am going to suffer the expense of paying a technician from the dealer. | |
| Surge protector @12blistn I phoned a GoldenEar technician right after the outage. His first response was that it was blown amps. I wish it were otherwise. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados My Nonesuch and Turnabout LP’s are still in excellent shape. As far as sound goes, with my new analog rig some, but not all, are audiophile quality. I use them to demonstrate the SQ of my set. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @rcprince Yes, it’s amazing how our taste can change like that. @mahler123 Ristenpart’s interpretations have managed to survive the HIP movement. Just a superb musician. Those Nonesuch LP’s are wonderful | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @curiousjim Thanks for reviving this dormant thread. I agree, Hogwood is as good as any. | |
| Surge protector Spending my time listening to chamber music and other music not requiring a subwoofer. Maybe I’ll get to know the Beethoven string quartets better. | |
| Surge protector @immatthewj Probably the one that’s included. | |
| Surge protector I’ve ordered the Furman PST-8 unit to protect my new subwoofers once they are installed. | |
| Surge protector @erik_squires Thank you very much for the info. What would you suggest I use as a surge protector? @immatthewj Hopefully the electric company will pay something. I’m going to fill out a claim form. I’ll also check out the homeowner policy. | |
| Surge protector I ordered this right after the incident. It’s already been shipped: Pangea Audio Octet Premier - 8 Outlet Power Center 20 Amp Outlet I have an Isotech unit for my amps and a few other devices. | |
| Music first or sound first? I’m just now realizing how far down the rabbit hole I was. Whether consciously or unconsciously, the quest for good sound dominated my choice of what music to play. That very impressive, expensive behemoth (my rig) standing in front of me was ... | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby I do agree with the idea of accepting the SQ of a recording for what it is. As long as it conveys a significant musical message, that’s OK by me. Every record can’t deliver a sound commensurate with the best our system has to offer. | |
| Music first or sound first? It’s such a pleasure when you put the music before the sound. You stimulate a whole different aesthetic, and often you can then really enjoy both |
