| Is there a standard for number of LP's per inch? Take a few samples from your collection to see how many per inch. Then use the average per inch X # inches total and there is your estimate.I'd separate out box sets if you can and count or estimate those separately. | |
| Dumb lo-fi question. The last paragraph of what millercarbon said is what matters. The amp will work harder driving 4 speakers compared to 2 so if you try to go as loud with 4 versus two, you will probably find the sound quality deteriorates and the amp will start to ... | |
| Advice on bookshelf speakers (Sierra 2, Buchardt, Monitor Audio, LS50) If you have interest in huge sweet spot listening from any location in the room consider OHM https://ohmspeaker.com something a bit different. That is what I use in similar room. ls50s are too small for larger rooms. I tried them there and was si... | |
| Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment? Bad behavior is bad behavior. Most will and should give benefit of the doubt and accept apologies for bad behavior if offered. Otherwise if it walks like a duck.......Being funny in the process does not transform dishonesty and contempt into somet... | |
| Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby? Well, no audiophile hobby period without technology. | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers I’ve only heard them at audio shows. No local dealers. Always sound pretty distinctive. Have not had enough exposure to form a lasting opinion. Still interested. No doubt the build quality is quite good and the company has a great reputation f... | |
| Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby? Too bad. It's barely got a pulse and hanging on by a thread already while the rest of the music loving world continues to close the gap on sound quality and widen the gap on cost. Maybe human hearing will continue to evolve and improve as well ... | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" many models might leverage teh same "breakthrough". Not so hard to imagine. | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" Hey wolf, yes I have no doubt they are way better than the average bear with even lower power tubes amps, maybe the best choice out there at their price point even, but being the technical stickler I am, I’d like to see some measurements of impeda... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? erik most of the world is with you on that desired lifestyle description including me these days, especially as I head towards retirement years and more downsizing and fewer hassles. I will probably keep my big OHM F5s around as long as possible b... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? I might not have said this just a few years back, but these days I believe sound quality is not a good reason to not go with a good integrated amp. Solutions to the old problems of sticking too many circuits and large transformers in close proximi... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? For another lesser used setup in my basement. I replaced a very reknowned vintage receiver with a modern Fosi Audio Class D integrated amp with bluetooth. $80 on amazon. It is about the size of a pack of cigarattes and has drive limits accordin... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? I have a Bel Canto c5i Digital Integrated amp in my family room. it is the bees knees. Dead quiet....amazing piece of modern technology. Integrated amp technology has come a long way. Many might be surprised. Rogue Pharoah is another really good o... | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" As I recall, Heresy III is efficient and tube amp friendly in general but also I recall reading still not the easy load one would seek out ideally for a flea powered SET amp that must not be driven hard to sound its best. | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" If someone were to do a SET friendly speaker shootout and include the Tekton offering, that would be interesting reading for me.Would like to read about a variety of SET friendly speakers and include several possible low cost/high value options. |
