| Should Manufacturer's Tell Us More About Crossovers I would think that some reviews or the 1ci would go deeper into the design. Almost every reputable review I read on anything does that. Try a google search on the 1ci and see what pops up. If that doesn't help, call Richard himself and either he o... | |
| Help Me Choose Timber Nation Rack-- All Wood or Threaded Rod? I have an all wood Timbernation rack as well but cannot comment on the threaded columns performance. The all wood is so solid that if an earthquake were to hit, I'd huddled up against it and keep my head low.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I don't get it. Either try the fuses yourself or be quiet. One needn't spend a fortune on them to find out. Right now you can get your butts over to ebay and get some PADIS fuses (German made, silver or rhodium end caps, silver wire, ceramic fuses... | |
| Marantz Sa-15 S2 vs marantz sa-11 s2 I'm using the SA-15S2b and love what I hear. I have no experience with the SA-11s2 so I can't comment on this. Marantz tends to do nice upgrades to their newer models (more digital inputs and maybe incorporating streaming) so it's kind of a crapsh... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Que "Beating Dead Horse" music.It might sound different on all of our systems but take solace in knowing it's all in our heads. | |
| New Bamboo Speakers Feedback I think the whole concept is nice. From the layered rings of wood to the old fashioned looking fabric speaker grills, it exudes a '70s kind of vibe that would fit in most decors from modern to bauhaus and most everything in between. A well execute... | |
| New Bamboo Speakers Feedback Great looking speakers but like said, a back shot would be nice. | |
| Best current footers for preamps? I used to endorse Herbie's Tenderfeet until I got my Marantz Reference series integrated and SACD player. I found it muddied up the sound a bit so now I use the standard (really overbuilt) feet that come on the units. They sit directly on thick ma... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? If things are kept at a distance, as they are here, reconciliation will never occur. I’d love to see everyone in the same room and film it for reality TV. I’d make a boatload and go out and buy whatever I want. Fuses, cables, heck, even a new syst... | |
| DIY Fuse burn-in made simple!! Hey Tubes444, that's a wonderful little video you did. On behalf of those who believe, thank you!All the best,Nonoise | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising I just got back from the Newport Audio Show and although I didn't try out all of the headphones, it was the VKmusic compact disc player (a modified TEAC CD drive based on the 47 Treasure) feeding it's signal into their NOS DAC (Philips TDA1543) an... | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? Activists will not allow circus animals anymore....Yes, but imagine how many models can be sold if they came with this little fellow.As you can see, he's just outside the Newport show by the marina waiting, justwaiting to entertain as your speaker... | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? If P.T. Barnum were alive, he'd ditch the circus and go into high priced audio. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? jmcgrogan +1This is like the movie Groundhog Day, except no one here can do it like Bill Murray.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one Agreed that this is a post on Ayre but I wouldn't jump on the MQA bandwagon just yet.Here's what Schiit thinks about MQA.And this is what Paul McGowan experienced with MQA as well as Archimago's take on the matter.I'm not smart enough to fully abs... |
