| The mystery of good acoustics You can say in conclusion that every system in every room is different. People need to experiment with a lot of trial and error. The geometric room theory confirms the off axis corner set up you see at some audio shows. This allows you to turn a s... | |
| Attractive Bookshelf - Under $3k Look at Salk. You can call him and have the cab it custom made to almost any wood and finish you like. Send him a pic of the room and if you like he can make them disappear. | |
| How to listen to iPhone/bluetooth through my main sytem IfI Zen blue great Bluetooth that pairs easy to iPhone. It will stream hi-res files.

| Best Rock Drummers @weim_boy can go with your list if you remove Alex VanHalen, he should not be in a list under one thousand. I always default to Peart until I saw Portnoy with Dream Theater. | |
| Does a graphic equalizer show where your amp is lacking? All amps have a certain signature sound. You want to find one that is as neutral as possible to let the recording come through untouched. The true purpose of an EQ is to correct for room acoustics . If you are using to try and correct your amp get... | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? @bigtwins 100% I have a ton of music mostly metal that I enjoy in car and find unlistenable on reference system. These old recordings were engineered to be broadcast over an analog radio signal. Not digitized and run through a $2000 dac and 10 k... | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? I find it to be opposite. My really good system makes bad recordings almost unlistenable, It will make average recordings some better some average. All worth it for what it does to good recordings that draw me in to my happy place where nothing ma... | |
| Connecting monoblock tube amps to single subwoofer. I may be dead wrong here but I was always told that the bass signal output is mono. This would mean that when running mono blocks you can tap the sub off just one amp and be ok. The key to this is where you cross over the sub at. | |

| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? Only if you let them. Any business will keep jacking up their price until people will stop buying. You can spend as much as you would like or you can do your research and get a great sounding system for a reasonable price. This hobby is like other... | |
| Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else? F-1 Has become very boring the last few years. I have resorted to just watching qualifying as that will determine the winner 99% of the time. You say that Hamilton has an “air” around him. Yes he does as do all professional athletes in every sport... | |
| Let me explain something to you jive turkeys. @fuzztone I play the Dire Straits New York City concert on YouTube. Out of my MacBook Air into my deck through my system the sound is awesome. I don’t watch the video but listen to the concert. Also many other artists I enjoy. | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? Cost does not always determine quality. Many companies work hard to keep costs down. Direct to consumer sales low advertising budget. To say Schiit is low quality because you had one product and did not like it is what we typically see here. You “... | |
| Interesting comment on Bose Speakers..... Like everything in a category bows serves a niche audience. Do they sound great no. Can they sound good yes. I have owned two pair of 301’s, a pair of 691’s, and 901’s. Currently using 301’s in surround fronts. 901’s should go down as the best par... | |
| Cassette decks. How good can it get? I still run my Nak Dragon in my system and it sounds great. Yes the negative reply will be plentiful but most of them are referencing back to their boom box days. They always want to compare to reel to reel and the speed of the tape. Recording an ... |
