| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? The diatribe on the "backfire effect" is also funny. You realize you are totally describing yourself, don't you? I'm a naysayer on the power cord thing, so based on your conjecture that you post as if it were fact, I wouldn't try one, and if I d... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Sorry to dredge up an old post, but @geoffkait cracks me up sometimes. This is just about the dumbest argument I've ever heard. You are paying a manufacturer for multi-thousand dollar amplifiers, and you think they are too stupid to include a pa... | |
| Speakers near fireplace That could be an issue. It's hard to tell by the diagram what the room dimensions are. | |
| Speakers near fireplace Have you considered rotating the whole room 90 degrees counter-clockwise? This would put the speakers on the wall to the left of the fireplace. It may resolve your issues, and even sound a little better for when you are dining. You would want s... | |
| Emotiva equipmet, how good is it? I've owned three of their amps, and used them with several different sets of speakers. I think they are really good, and great for the cost. But, I also found them a little fatiguing. I think it's because they are a little on the "clinical" sid... | |
| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. His points are valid in theory. However, when it comes to implementation, the story changes. First, for digital equipment to "smooth" the curve effectively, it must be well designed. Sure, there is plenty of equipment that is well designed and ... | |
| Is it time to just quit? I think that what we all need every now and then is a new music-loving friend. My GF (over 3 years now) was always into music, but didn't know what a nice stereo can sound like. It's been really fun helping her understand the nuances that the sy... | |
| Is it time to just quit? syntax2,029 posts11-25-2018 7:47pm... listening to digital is like having a shower with thousands of tiny ice cubes, listening to vinyl is having the shower with water. ...@syntax this is a great analogy! | |
| Songs for Speaker Placement Maybe "boomy" is the wrong word... but I do notice it being very prominent. Otherwise, it's a stellar recording, but might be a little tricky to use for speaker placement. Not sure... I haven't tried. | |
| Songs for Speaker Placement I find that Clapton's Unplugged is boomy in the bass area. It seems to come from the fact that his mic is on a stand, and the floor is wood. When he bounces his foot, it reverberates through the mic boom, and you hear it as a hollow boomy sound.... | |
| Anyone with Manley Chinook use a custom Power Cord? By the way, @lewm the power cord I bought was $69, so not super expensive. We'll see if it helps in any way... | |
| Anyone with Manley Chinook use a custom Power Cord? @lewm I hear you and completely agree! I'm not sure about the output cap, but I'm not likely to mod something like that, which may end up voiding my warranty. Anything I do has to be able to go back to factory without being permanent. | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... Knowing that the markup is 30 to 40%, perhaps call that dealer with whom you have a relationship, and they may offer you a discount. | |
| Anyone with Manley Chinook use a custom Power Cord? If you are reading this in the future, this is an interesting read about op amps. I’m not expressing an opinion, only sharing what I found. http://nwavguy.blogspot.com/2011/08/op-amps-myths-facts.htmlI bought a new new set of tubes to roll, and th... |
