| Does my amp have enough juice to power my speakers? There is no such thing as a speaker needing power. Speakers don't need any power at all. Listeners do. Its you that needs the power, and the louder you like your music the more power you need. Regardless of the speaker, or its sensitivity, or any ... | |
| Shunyata Sigma Speaker Cables and Interconnects I like Shunyata a lot. Caelin was even over at my house to a party one time, brought along some power cords, we did an impromptu audition for a good 20 people. Still have a couple of them. You could do a lot worse. Over the years however I came to... | |
| Big Data, Big Brother Buying a burrito at the food truck one time I asked for a receipt to expense it. They used some iPad app for stuff like this. Somehow, the receipt appears on my iPhone. How? I never gave them my phone number. I couldn't think of anything other tha... | |
| New speakers? No thanks. I can relate. Spent so many years with the same speakers that after a while it was no longer the speakers trying to recreate reality, the speakers had in my mind become reality. So when I went to upgrade speakers I passed on what in hindsight were... | |
| Please help me clean up this stupid speaker cable mistake Refund. Or at least return for exchange. Preferably refund. Synergistic probably has half a dozen cheaper better choices. I'm being very conservative here. My personal experience, I was able to sell Audioquest at used prices and buy Synergistic pa... | |
| Did I just make my audio system too sensitive after adding a Herron VTPH-2A preamp? That last detail is telling. AT has their fans but I am not one. Way too hi-fi sounding with exaggerated detail for me. You just had a huge, major upgrade. I know. Upgraded to the same Herron last year and even from Audio Research PH3-SE it was a ... | |
| The Science of Cables jrpnde says:I am confused....There are plenty of folks on these these forums that are VERY knowledgeable about electronics, electricity, and circuits. There is an extremely wide price between the "junk" cables that came with a product and the supe... | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? Wow, Duke in the house! This is pure gold!Warning: The following three paragraphs go into some technical stuff. If you don’t like technical stuff, please skip them. A single equalized sub can give excellent results in the sweet spot, but often mak... | |
| Top Ten "Reasons I Don't Like This Component" Being at a level where the average component is a couple thou, guess I just have a hard tine imagining people throwing that kind of money around without due consideration.

| Who are some of elite sub woofers? Thank you all for insight.Budge I'm guessing $1500 but thought about only one?Millercarbon suggested 3-4? That would change budget considerably.No, it doesn't have to be expensive. All the comments so far are people following the old method of usi... | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? The problem with subs is it is impossible to get uniform, even and powerful deep bass with just one or even two subs. Also they cannot be located symmetrically the way the two main speakers are or you only make the inherent uneven response even wo... | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz Since you are mainly interested in convenience then you should just stick with what you know. Vinyl is more for people who love music. | |
| Dumb lo-fi question. Your amp doesn't "send" watts anywhere. Nor does it even "make" 25 watts! That number, 25 wpc, is merely a reference based on a particular set of circumstances- typically (not always!) being specified as a load of 8 ohms, across a frequency range ... |
