| Horn Speakers in Carrie and Big's apt. on the TV series "And Just Like That." I found 'em actually...25 grand. | |
| The Sun Sets On Omen Dirty Weekends I bought a pair last year to compare to my Klipsch Heresy IIIs and after a while of burning 'em in I concluded the IIIs sounded much better...no comparison really as the coloration and relative lack of coherency of the ZUs was just not cutting it ... | |
| Tube preamp: Cary SLP-03 vs Schiit Freya+ Too bad the supply chain or whatever denies instant gratification for gear purchasers...I wanted the balanced Loki and man...they told me it's gonna be months. I'm an "early adopter" of an original series Freya and it easily hangs with any preamp ... | |
| How does a REL subwoofer add dimensionality and depth to a sound system? I have 3 RELs bought "previously owned" which were manufactured a while back ("Q" series) and cost around 200 bucks each. Hard to beat and hardly "overblown" especially relative to comments like Millercarbonfootprint's bloviating about his gear...... | |
| So where do you fall in the spectrum.? Gear or Music? Great gear won't fix crappy music, but you can listen to great music on crappy gear and it's still great music. If one thinks the gear has any importance other than relaying the music to your earballs, I can only assume you can sit and fondle you... | |
| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC Ditto on the Schiit Bifrost 2...a great DAC. | |
| How does a REL subwoofer add dimensionality and depth to a sound system? Any good sub should add what normally exists in live settings...that's the thing. Low frequencies are around in the real world, it's just that few speakers can reproduce the lows without a sub. I use 2 older RELs with a SEP (main system...another ... | |
| SET the best? My Dennis Had SEP (pentode) is plenty loud and clear into my alleged 99db rated Heresy III speakers, enhanced by a couple of RELs. I simply don’t care much about opinions of others regarding things they haven’t heard (i.e. my system), although som... | |
| Fancy Fuse for Regenerator? A fuse that blows when used at the recommended rating is ridiculous, and SRs are known to do just that (I had one that did). I think expensive fuses aren’t so much a joke as nonsense. At least a joke is possibly funny. | |
| Tube Vs. SS Preamps Get a Schiit Freya + and have the ability to switch between tubes and passive...great sounding sophisticated preamp for el cheapo. | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? Little snarky there holmz...I was referring to the sound of multiple musicians playing the same music with space between them. I attend concerts I don’t mix, and ones I do mix I listen to unamplified sound from various areas during sound check inc... | |
| Suggestions for high efficiency speakers? In my post that I know everyone read carefully (except myself) I meant to say I tried Heresy IVs and preferred the IIIs. The record is now corrected. | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? Also, "still SOUND like magic." Jeeze.... | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? That's "over" not "overe." | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? I phase and time align every concert venue I mix (hundreds overe decades) , and my home rig also. I never said phase and time don't matter, I simply was pointing out that live music with no sound reinforcement is never specifically adjusted for ti... |
