| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? I'm instinctively wary of audiophile nonsense but have enough time on my hands (I'm a writer...) that I've tried most of the tweaks that Geoff specialises in. For what it's worth I've discovered the following three things: 1. Turns out you absolut... | |
| Ry Cooder recommendation... LOVE Ry Cooder's music. Check out "Talking Timbuktu" from the mid nineties. Incredible album. | |
| List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now... I think pretty much all of the above will be listened to in 50 years (not popular, but listened to), however 200 years from now will be a different story. Popular music will be significantly different and the only ones to survive (other than the C... | |
| I NEED AN AMP!! BUT WHAT?? HELP PLEASE!! Hi Ugur, and welcome! The NHTs look like a difficult speaker to drive, what with a an inbuilt subwoofer and extra rear-firing drivers. Unless you REALLY like them I would suggest trying different speakers before you worry about a power amp. Speake... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hahahaha. Doesn't get more serious than that. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Geoff, like I say, I appreciate your sense of humour, but it's costing people money. Stop it. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... The issue is this: People new to our hobby might read this thread in the future and get hopelessly caught up in your nonsense, spending ludicrous amounts of money on BS, fuses being the thin edge of the wedge. Your stance is unethical. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Ain't wasting time! This is fun for us. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I should point out to Geoff/Tommy, before he attacks me, that I love his performance art; it's provided many chuckles. (Dark Matter Paint. Ha! That had me giggling for days. Seriously. Very, very funny.) | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... There are tests on the Harbeth website that suggest once you match any given SS power amp to its speakers within its power limitations, the difference in sound to an equivalent SS brand once you match volume levels to within 0.2 dB is minimal. The... |
