| Hello Tube Amplification--Goodbye Subwoofer To sub or not to sub, that is NOT the question. To sub properly, that is the question. | |
| Best Speaker under 31 inches tall Tony, I had Genesis speakers throughout the 80's and loved them. They're what got me into hi fi. They were made in New England I recall. There's a guy keeping them alive and bought all the spare parts from the manufacturer. If you do a Google sear... | |
| Solidsteel 5 or Adona Zero racks I realize you've narrowed it down to two choices but I'll still suggest reaching out to www.resonantwoods.com if you would be at all interested in a woods rack as @lostbears suggested. I have a pair of their speaker stands on order which I've read... | |
| My journey to search for standmount bookshelf speakers... I'll third the Harbeth P3. You need to at least listen to them. | |
| Warm-up time for amps and preamps My Accuphase E600 sounds fine after 20 - 30 minutes. Sure, it gets better after awhile but that could also be attributed to a second cocktail. I used to sweat this stuff but not anymore. I just sit back, off center, and listen to all of my music. ... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood In the movie Risky Business, I believe the father has a Phase Linear system. He says to Tom Cruise "Too much bass. How did the EQ get like this? Don't touch my gear while I am gone, my house - my rules." | |
| Samsung buys Harman for $8B My Samsung 1080p set started taking a very long time to start up after about two to three years of ownership. I did a Google search of this and found that there was a class action lawsuit against Samsung on this so I contacted them about it. Three... | |
| Has anyone compared Zu Omen with Spatial Hologram M4? I have no idea but I might get a pair next year as a second pair of speakers. I reached out to Clayton a couple of years ago and he was very responsive. The price is right and I love the open baffle design. | |
| I should have never .... I've owned the boxy Harbeth C7ES3's for years now and am waiting for my new Super HL 5 Plus's in Tiger Ebony to arrive from across the pond (distributor was out of Tiger Ebony). I totally get the boxy comment. I got my ass handed to me on this web... | |
| Need recommendation for a CD player I spent most of one evening researching your question and if it were me, I'd choose the Parasound CD1 if I could find one. (they've been discontinued). All my CD's are redbook and I love CD's and always will. | |
| Pass Labs INT 60 VS. Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP VS. Arcam A49 The best comparison to the Prima Luna is the INT 30. I'm an ex tube freak who finds class A to be a bit sweeter if paired correctly. My Accuphase E600 is noticeably sweeter than any tube amp I've heard though my Harbeth's. | |
| What do you think of soundbars compared to speakers? For me a sound bar is perfect but I don't watch action adventure films so a 7.1 system is a waste of money. TV and movies to me are brain dead activities that don’t require a lot of money invested to be satisfied. | |
| Volume Increase of decrease as system improves Mine volume has gone way down. I used too have a system that had to be turned up to bring out the smallest detail. Now my background (noise floor) is completely silent and I can hear more detail than ever at low volumes. I'm thankful this is the d... | |
| cd player rec Redbook cd reproduction on todays new players is light years ahead of even the best in class from 1991. mb1audio had some good suggestions. | |
| Need recommendation for a CD player Does anyone know how much Dan would charge to ModWright a Marantz SA8005? |
