| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? Geoffkait, $19.99 for the XLO Test CD is even better yet. Thanks.Richopp and winnardt, your implication there are better and more accurate speakers than my Magico A3's is dastardly indeed.Big_greg, since it was reported yesterday Amazon's Jeff Bez... | |

Cheeg, how due you get the sound stage to extend outwards without being out of phase?Rego, thanks for your clarifications and the link to the Townsend video on decoupling.... | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? Geoffkait, thanks for the clarification on the XLO versus the Sheffield test CD and the link you provided. Is yours literally made of gold like the one in the link says it is. What next?Millercarbon, thank you again for your detailed answers to my... | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? Rego I’ll try your suggestion of moving the couch out of the way and standing a bit from the wall. I can also try having no toe-in just to see what that sounds like. Interesting suggestions to start to get a feel for the sound. Moving the speakers... | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? Thank you very much for the detailed explanation, Millercarbon. Would you mind clarifying some of the terminology you used so I can follow what you are saying carefully. What exactly do you mean by "imaging". I’ve heard the term used many times, b... | |
| Your first system and your journey... JBL L100 speakers in the early seventies. They were way less expensive than the current JBL look-a-likes. I can't remember if they had the blue or orange grills. A Dual turntable, unknown model, plus a Pioneer SA-9100(?) integrated amp received a... | |
| Hearing aids for audiophiles? My late wife had one that could receive a Bluetooth signal, but she never seemed to like it. It was a Seimen’s hearing aide. We had an adapter that would turn the TV’s audio, for example, into a Bluetooth signal that an outboard Bluetooth receiver... | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. Erik, please pardon this brief aside to Glupson who asked up-post if I'd ever purchasd the SACD version of the Stone's Let It Bleed. Glupson, I ordered the SHM-CD SACD (Japanese Pressing, Single Layer) today. Your question was a reminder I'd bee... | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. Yes, Equinox is nice. I tried recalling that songs the other day to suggest, but kept drawing a blank trying to remember it. His collaboration with Johnny Hartman is my least favorite Coltrane album, so you're excused from listening to it Erik..Yo... | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. I guess it’s how you absorb things Jafant. I liked A Love Supreme right off the bat with zero jazz listening experience. The rest of his prior catalog was easily and greatly appreciated after that. Same thing with Stravinsky’s Rites of Spring, lis... | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. Erik you mentioned A Love Supreme is a difficult listen. That’s a good thing, because there’s so much there a might take a minute to digest it as a whole, especially if it’s out of context for you relative to whatever your listening experience is.... | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. What Coltrane recordings have been listening to Erik? A lot of his material after A Love Supreme is difficult to digest and takes some time, analogous to your thoughts on understanding and appreciating Picasso after his Blue and Rose Period painti... | |
| Which one? Paradigm persona 3f, Revel Studio2, Audiosolution Figaro L, Goldenear reference Some of those were in the group I was auditioning a year or so ago if I’m remembering the correct models. I ended up with Magic A3’s, but in retrospect I was remiss is not taking a long trip to Pennsylvania to audition the Joseph Audio offerings i... | |
| Frustrated with Vinly Those of you who are using and recommending ultrasonic record cleaners, which are you using, and if you don’t mind sharing, how much did they set you back. Like Jay said, the snap, crackle and pop of even immaculate looking and well cared for reco... | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Thanks Anwar. I wasn't aware there were free DSD downloads anywhere. That's interesting. You're lucky to have the SA-10. I wonder how they compare to the Ruby's. Do you ever utilize the wide variety of filters the SA-10 has? I've yet to check out ... |
