| I've got the Summertime Blues. Power conditioner necessary? My system has all digital sources, and I've found that the better the quality the AC power is, the DACs extract more detail with less distortion.I used to have a very nice, modestly-priced Furman unit. When I upgraded to a PS Audio P10 Power Plan... | |
| Speaker Upgrade Time...Great Experience. cbucki,Congrats on the new system! I spent about a year auditioning all sorts of speakers, when changing from my excellent Totem Fire monitors (just wanted a change). I was absolutely smitten with the Focal's...so much so, I ordered "sight unsee... | |
| Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS I have found that listing items where I include the PayPal and Continental U.S. UPS shipping, takes those two items "off the table", and makes items easier to sell. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I have crossed over the "three year mark", enjoying a McIntosh MC452 driving a pair of Focal Sopra No2 speakers, a very good match, amp & speaker.Just yesterday I had a conversation with a fellow audiophile, one who has never owned McIntosh eq... | |
| TEKTON OWNERS I have auditioned the Double Impact speakers, not my cup of tea.But my son in law recently purchased a pair of Mini Lore's and I really like the way those sound. | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! The worst concert I've ever attended, the 1969 Rolling Stones concert in Baltimore, MD. They came out on the stage at 10:25pm, took their time tuning up their instruments, seemed to be so drunk and/or stoned that they were out of tune, and the co... | |
| Best audio companies and dealers I've used and been impressed with support from:PS AudioMcIntoshWireworld | |
| Enhancing low frequencies for my system Do you have access to a decent laptop? One that you could install software on, and one that has a good-quality USB port?If so, I'd recommend you download REW (Room EQ Wizard), which you will find at: https://www.roomeqwizard.com/ I would also re... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? Just to be "funny" I'd say look at Magico speakers, they are constructed with metal cabinets and are quite heavy.But seriously, not my cup of tea, but back in the day I used to sell Klipsch speakers, very efficient and very much loved by "rockers"... | |
| Which Subwoofer would you choose? Either of those subs should "fit the bill". Please note that the Velodyne company is no longer in the subwoofer business. If you enter "velodyne.com" into your browser, it takes you to the Velodyne LiDAR website, they apparently are in the drive... | |
| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 I evaluated the S5's in my search for a new pair of speakers. My local Magico dealer had the S5's attached to a powerful solid state amp with an extremely high damping factor, when pushed hard, the S5's "came to life". When their "high end room"... | |
| Integrated amp + dac for Focal I was fortunate enough to snag one of the first pair of Focal Sopra No2's that came into the U.S., about 2 1/2 years ago. To select them, I listened to a LOT of speakers, I was upgrading from a pair of Totem Fire monitors, moving my system to a m... | |
| The Music Room I just completed my first transaction with them, an upgrade from my PS Audio P10 Power Plant, to the new P15 model.Not only are they "legit", but they offered a MUCH BETTER price on the upgrade, paid the shipping for my P10 return, and did all of ... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? " Open your mind and ears and give a horn system a unbiased extended listen".I couldn't agree more! We all hear differently and have different tastes. I personally am not a fan of "A/B" tests, frequent switching back and forth between speakers;... | |
| McIntosh Guy Going Tubes? (Maybe?) tlong1958,One of my audio buddies swapped out his MC452 for one MC275 and found (for him) it didn't have enough "horsepower". He purchased a second MC275, running them each as a "monoblock" and that put a smile on his face. Being retired and usi... |
