| Do you have any concern for the environment when keeping your equipment 24/7 ? Well, this is audiophile forum, I didn't mention other activities.Not only wasteful but probably any equipment that needs it to sound best was not quite well designed. Sounds stupid to me. With my modest solid state integrated I hear no change i... | |
| Do you have any concern for the environment when keeping your equipment 24/7 ? I'm always thinking about the environment. Every evening I get concerned that the environment in my listening room might not be warm enough. So I go in and turn stuff on. But I don't want to create the wrong impression. My concern for the environm... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? Never heard of Shahinian, so did a quick search. Holt and Atkinson totally butchered them in Stereophile. Holt did insist they sounded good when he heard them at shows. But couldn't stand them at home in their systems. And not for lack of trying e... | |
| Directionality, Fuses, Demagnetizing, Warm-up: Tweaks Matter! Funny you should mention, every day when my thermos of freshly ground and brewed coffee from home runs out I have to resort to the break room Keurig. But today for a change I'm drinking the Keurig first and saving the Cuisinart for later. Then you... | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? And I totally believe that you are quite capable of hearing when you had the correct phase setting. I just think you are most likely hearing the frequency response improvement that arises from your phase optimization- audiokinesisHey Duke that i... | |
| Tight bass sub recommendations That's the beauty of the Swarm approach. Because room reinforcement characteristics are so dominant, which sub matters much less than their number, location, and phase. And my understanding is, pretty much in that order. In other words four of jus... | |

| The Carver Amp Challenge and the 21st Century and it's Failure My points, in summary: Most of what we consider state-of-the-art measurements are stuck in the 1970s. There are a number of ways to improve upon themNo one has. We should be a little more humble when asserting if it can't be measured it isn't au... | |
| Stage III Concepts Cables - Any Advice/Feedback/Thoughts is deeply appreciated. Wire (interconnects, power cords, speaker cables, etc) are every bit as much a system component as the traditionally considered main components like amps and speakers. Equally important.Also equally important: room treatment, vibration control (co... | |
| Is there any equipment that can do this? What you hear with a good 2 channel is what is on the recording. If the recordist sought to have you hear the audience that way then with a really good system you will. You could run around trying all kinds of recommended performances (mine would ... | |

| Can you get good quality sound on the short wall axis of a room?? If my dedicated listening room is anything to go by then you can get outstanding sound in a rectangular room with the speakers across the shortest wall. In fact my room is the exact same dimensions as the "A" list room at Definitive Audio, Bellevu... | |
| Phono preamp make crackling noise The real culprit behind phono stage noise is the fact there has to be a huge amount of gain. Unlike line stage components (CDP, tuner, DAC) all of which have outputs in the range of single digit volts (why they are all called line stage in the fir... |
