| Best Cheap Amps for Magneplanar Speakers Maggies and ARC gear have been a great match through the years. It was the Tympani 1Cs and ARC tube gear that got me into this hobby...a very long time ago. | |
| Who would buy a Boulder 3050 amplifier? Had a chance to spend some time with a full line-up of Boulder components which I think included the 3050's(?). The full set-up retailed somewhere North of 300K. Listened to a lot of my music. I have an ultra high-end 2 channel system at home whic... | |
| The "Digital" listening experience PTSS is moving in the right direction with the acknowledgement that to get better sound you have to 'do things' to get there. After being in this hobby for 45+ years I've grown to appreciate how valuable 'patient tweaking' can be whether analog or... | |
| The "Digital" listening experience Digital done right is every bit as good or better than analog. Moot point. | |
| Need Suggestions for speakers up to $15K new/used Dunlavy Cantata(s) if you are looking for great performance and want to keep about 13K of your budget. Really?? Really!! | |
| Amps and Preamps has standby, but should I turn them completely off? I turn off my preamp and cd player, but leave my mono amps on all the time. The reason is that keeping the amps on causes a small amount of current to go to the speakers and acts as a 'sealing current' to the connections. The mono amps do not run ... | |
| What has your audiophile experience taught you about yourself? It is hard to explain how much enjoyment I have had from this hobby. It has brought me closer to great music and it has been a fifty year journey that lives on. I am thankful to have had the opportunity and means to put together systems that have ... | |
| Your single favorite component Dunlavy speakers (have almost all of them) still remain the standard by which I judge all other contenders. | |
| Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound? There are quite a number of very effective tweaks. Of these, I believe the Schumann resonance devices have made the most dramatic positive improvement. | |
| Upgrade path I have a set of the Dunlavy SC-IVs along with about every other Dunlavy model that was ever made. Yes, going to larger Dunlavys will give you more bass foundation, but (loving clean deep bass as I do) I have still felt compelled to add subwoofers.... | |
| AUdio research ... good price? I've owned a lot of ARC gear through the years and all of it sounded really good. The only fault I could find was in demoing the next generation and making the comparison. I enjoyed my first ARC system as much as any of the later versions which co... | |
| Subwoofer It depends!!!! If the sub is quick/fast, as with the better sealed subs, then yes definitely. If the sub is sluggish, as with many ported subs, then the system can become a 'muddy mess'.Either way, however, it requires some patience and experime... | |
| Wilson Sasha 1 I have experimented through the years with adding high quality subs to systems that already seem to have sufficient bass. In most cases I found that not only does the bass improve, but there seems to be a 'lifting -of-the veil' so to speak in the ... | |
| Who are the most underground high-end companies Enlightened Audio Design (EAD), Dunlavy, SVS just to mention a few. | |
| Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer Bill Johnson, Jeff Rowland, John Dunlavy and even Paul Klipsch; is that enough name dropping?? All with the same passion to bring the live event into your living room, but with very different ideas on how to make it happen. |
