| The eternal quandary size versus sensitivity versus quality!! Help wanted!! Northern: Just curious whether you pulled the trigger on anything. | |
| Anyone Using Crystals? Come on koestner. Isn't your system "organic" enough to need its chakras healed? | |
| Amp/Preamp or AVR for home stereo and entertainment If two-channel is your priority and don’t need the connections and the latest processing/features (e.g., Atmos, 4k passthrough, BT, etc.) from the AVR, I’d suggest an older Arcam. I use an Arcam 300 for the gym. To me, it is one of the better "reg... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener OP-You are a patient person. I'd be digging up any old crap rca I had in some old dusty box just to try it out. haha. Glad you like the SVS. | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener OP-did you try the high-pass filter from the sub to your amps? | |
| Anyone Using Crystals? I have several crystals in my office. Mostly hippie-type stuff. Citrine, quartz, tourmaline, amethyst, etc. etc. I can detect no effect on sound, positive or negative.Some of them are pretty, so, I guess, if they help put me in any better mood ... | |

| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? --The tech is way over my head, but is it possible that a cd ripped to a hard drive, particularly a SSD can also sound better because:1. Ripping can take many, many passes over the disc to try to get a perfect copy, whereas;2. A typical cd player ... | |
| The eternal quandary size versus sensitivity versus quality!! Help wanted!! Northern--For me, so far, the Omegas are iffy for a lot of rock, awful for anything metal-ish (like Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera), somewhat awful for complex "classical." I think someone else commented about them on symphonic music--agreeing with... | |
| Usability of Oppo BDP-93 without a monitor? I initially used the 93 for movies and CD/SACD/DVDA through HT. Was excellent for movies (bought new at the time). After a few years it moved as a CD transport with a DAC. Worked fine. I never compared it side by side, but a dedicated CD trans... | |
| The eternal quandary size versus sensitivity versus quality!! Help wanted!! Kenny: what the heck?Northern: I'll update on the Omegas on the other thread. What music would you be listening to? I'm finding them to be great on some and ok-to-bad on some. | |
| Usability of Oppo BDP-93 without a monitor? OP-Agree with chayro. I used a Oppo 93 as a transport for cd and, itself, for SACD/DVDA. I set it up on screen, first, and then connected to system/disconnected from tv. It works fine for playing discs, and, every several months, connect it to ... | |
| New Schiit Freya or used Conrad Johnson PV-10AL/BL, or? @kalali. Put about 25 more hours into the Freya. It’s been steadily opening up and it responded to changes in equipment. The passive is really great, particularly after swapping in a Cary DMC600. It’s better than the built in volume control. It se... | |
| The eternal quandary size versus sensitivity versus quality!! Help wanted!! Thanks, Murphy. Despite all the raving reviews, I'm not much of a fan of the ls50--maybe they're fantastic and maybe my listening expectations were just inflated from the hype.scm11 is just 1db higher than scm7. I'd be running 60w triode or 35w ... | |
| The eternal quandary size versus sensitivity versus quality!! Help wanted!! I'm still dealing with a similar issue as OP's, but mine have to go in sort of a bookshelf. Was thinking possibly ATC SCM11v2. No issues with your ATC with golden night? |
