| Well this link will start many arguments! New speakers--better bass. New amps--better bass. New preamp--better bass. New turntable--better bass. New cartridge--better bass. New speaker cables--better bass. New power cords--better bass. New power distributor--better bass. Better recording-... | |
| Well this link will start many arguments! I DO swear by cable lifters------they make vacuuming so much easier! | |
| Securing spade connectors Sounds like spades aren't a good match for the speaker. I just went through this with Transparent speaker cables and YG Sonja 2.2i's. I am going to have the spades changed to banana plugs. I bet you have a poor connection with the spades, as I did. | |
| Last Critical Tweak… how to quell occasional high harshness…? Look into ear oil. A few drops occasionally can prepare your aging ears for those bursts of trumpet. | |
| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" My interest in the system is greater than my interest in the music. When you have a precise, revealing system, with both power and control, you can enjoy music you don't like to a far greater extent than you would otherwise, particularly if it has... | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? Some great comments here. I'm probably a classic case of always wondering if there's (significantly) more. The only cure is to turn the system on and play some well-recorded vinyl to remind myself that my system is more than okay. | |
| speaker upgrade from Magico A3 Given your satisfaction with Magico, I would look at the A5's, or, there is a pair of YG Hailey 1.2's for sale right now on Audiogon. I have owned a pair of these for less than a year and they are amazing speakers with peerless build quality. | |
| Upscale Audio is up front with customers I have had some good experiences with them, but I'm disappointed currently. I bought an item which (I learned after the fact) isn't in stock and it's taking weeks. | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? "Katanga" Curtis Amy/Dupree Bolton. | |
| Dusting gear and turntable Vacuum regularly and stay out of the room when the sun is shining on the equipment. | |
| At the top of the line is it really all that different? I'm quite happy with where my system is at, but like most of you, it's not a stable condition. I still look at gear every day, wondering if the $40k (used) speakers will be appreciably better than the $15k (used) that I spent. Same goes for the el... | |
| Warm, flexible, cheap-ish cables? Mogami. | |
| Mystery with woofers. Help! Thanks everyone!! @knotscott Interesting. I think you’re correct about the bass. The midbass was taking care of all but the lowest frequencies, and then crossed over to the sub. This explains how I missed the inactive woofers. I texted with Dick... | |
| Mystery with woofers. Help! I think the answer is simple---I need jumpers!!! The woofer section isn't powered up! Duh. I feel like an arse, but the question remains---why does the bass sound adequate without the woofers powered up and sub disengaged? |
