QED 79 Strand is the minimum specified cable I would recommend to my enemy. Anything less than that is barbaric.

I believe that levelling certain designs of cabinet ensures equal/ as designed loading of the structures the cabinet is made from. Plumb and level are the only things a manufacturer can reference which are universal. I do not believe that levelling is generically beneficial, but it costs nothing...

QED 79 strand

That’s a lot of toe-in. What are you noticing/enjoying about that orientation? Better imaging?

Eish And that Bryston really needs the remote….

It’s a complex subject. One you may not care to understand. Heck, I’m but a student myself. Go ahead and add the second pair of speakers as I suggested earlier. If you hear problems, no harm done- simply remove the second pair of speakers and go back to your old configuration. If you like what...

There are a number of reasons I wouldn’t recommend the course you are on, but if you insist, then do the following: Connect the positive of your NS100 to the negative of the NS244. Then connect the negative of the NS100 and the positive of the 244 to your amplifier. You will have connected the...

We’re on the same page @kolakidd and my post was in agreement with your previous post. My logic says deal with the issue rather than the symptom.

While the intent is good, I think the approach(es) suggested here are counterproductive. You have a resonant floor on which stands whatever. You want to isolate that whatever from the physical movement of the floor. The only way you can achieve that is with a substance which will compress and...

Been saying that forever.

There’s a reason they call him “the Boss”

I hear you there Chris. I can’t argue either. My previous post was simply a statement of my experience. I’m not talking about critical listening. I have on numerous occasions just found that WAV files sound fuller, more coherent and “whole” while casually listening to my ripped CD files. Those...

I have long believed that WAV sounds best of all my ripped from CD music.

Later Charles👋

I’m curious @Charles Barnes. Why do you wish that? How would it improve your existence?

Maybe the OP created this thread as a scare tactic. A threat of sorts with the intent to force the other party into action. Maybe the whole thing has worked itself out, and the OP has no further need for this thread.

My 2c then, on this topic: Yes, there is a disconnect between the intended performance and playback of music. That disconnect though, varies from HiFi to HiFi. Home to home, person to person. Whether it be intentional or by circumstance, it is the responsibility of the HiFi owner. What have you...

I have been fortunate to own a pair of YG Acoustics Carmels. Those speakers are a revelation when it comes to soundstage and imaging. Unfortunately, they have limitations. A single 6.5” woofer can only do so much, even considering the monumental feat YG pulled off with the Carmel. Today I’m...

The ability of a playback system to render a palpable soundstage and image (along with good timbre, dynamics, etc) is by my reckoning the actual pursuit of HiFi. It doesn’t matter whether the soundstage is artificial, as in studio/session recording, or real as in a recording of a live...
