i not sure if im asking the right question(s). while exercising on the floor the past couple mornings i turned my system on low. usually id be wearing earbuds. the music just seemed to have so much energy and clarity at that volume right at floor level. loved it when i stood up id like to say i...

i know this has been beat to death but i just need a lil more clarification, please. if all amps working right sound the same, why are there so many different brands/types? rhetorically, i understand capitalism. and why would i pay $5000 for one if the $500 one will sound the same? i own 3...

a fave of mine. to me, it sounds like a roomfull of people doing the same handclap together. didnt notice that before until my system got better.

ive been asking around and haven't gotten much of an answer. my previous set up is vertical bi-amp. all my good cables are set up that way, 4 conductors in the same sheath. can i use my bi-amp cables as single pair by taping off one pair and using the other without some kind of interference or...

ive got a luxman m117 coming in next week. it was an opportunity for something that was well-regarded and the price waaaas right. my audiosource was maybe $500 new. the luxman $1899. there's a small difference in power with the luxman higher. not expecting any volume improvement. based on cost...

ics come in so many different lengths. is there a best length? i'd like to shorten mine for neatness.

ok. these are vintage amps. i realize these aint big dogs but hey, get in where you fit in. i have 3 of the audiosource. just got one as a back-up as so far, i do like them. pretty powerful. goooood bass impact with definitely nice detail. nice mid expression. got an opportunity to buy a rotel...

After a really unpleasant experience with Apos, I bought a renewed d50s from Amazon ftfoi. How would I integrate it in? source>pre>dac>amps(pre has spdif out.>dac spdif in?) Actually, I plan on using the bt option mostly. Jbl SDP3 pre Audiosource Model 3 amps (2 vertically biamped)

I ordered a power cable from Viborg on Amazon. What I received was the exact cable but from Audiocrast. As I screened through the choices I noticed that all the ads for different vendors all looked very much alike. Same cable pic showing the cable components. Sometimes they are different colors...

I have seen several kits where there were say a set of towers and a set of bookshelves or even another floorstander that looked like they were being used at the same time. I know looks are decieving. Are folks using 4 amps? I'm sure there are several possibilities. I've also read some using both...

I just got my spanking new Topping D50s. Looks cool. I got it all hooked up and....NOTHING. It turns on, the controls work, but absolutely no sound. Yes, I turned the volume up. I was really looking forward to using its bt connect. Nothing. My player plays but nothing comes out. I tried using...

The thread concentrates on speaker isolation from floors. I'd like to throw my two cents in as several tips from fellow members have been truly helpful. First, I live in apt on the third floor. Let's be real. Those floors act like attenuators when I had my sub and speakers on the carpeted...

so i know this subject has been beaten to death. ftf of it i am trying bi-amp with 1 amp for bass and one for mid/hi. after hooking it all up, i now have a hum. probably a ground loop, maybe. dunno. the hum is from the amp for the woofers. comments pleeease.

im using a phone for source. if i turn the volume all they way up, wont there be some clipping and/ or distortion? im sure it has an amp of some sort.

i probably have a few questions actually. how do i keep my cables from looking like octopii? can i zip-tie my speaker cables together? how much interference or noise will i really get if my speaker cables pass over the power cords of amps, preamps, sub cable? im having to use 6ft cables to...
