I am, nor is my argument, implying anything... That is you. I am saying I am unwilling to entertain your trolling when you already stated your opinion of the subject. And if you value your opinion, which you seem to value it highly... Then why in the world would you engage in a discussion you...
I can’t believe I have to do this, but life happened. Up for sale is my beloved Linear Tube Audio Z40+ Integrated amp. The first owner bought it just before the “+” upgrade. I bought the amp and had it sent to LTA to do the upgrade. That was November of 21. That is sub out and all new caps and...
Well sure... Suggest something completely reasonable. Errr... I should. I don't have a problem with used. Lampizator has an awesome 2nd hand program even though I got my B4 new. I should get on a list for a trade in. Any significant upgrade for me will have to be used at this point.
Ya, deep pockets or special circumstances... I hope nobody takes offense... Your special circumstance... Completely reasonable to me and no, there is not and an endless supply of those... Certainly hope not. Another gentleman had something similar but the passing of a loved one. I could see me...
A lot of guys here have pretty deep pockets. I understand if it is as good as another but a fraction of the cost... But the cost is still pretty high... For a streamer...
I don't have stratosphere money. However, looking at all the "good" streamers/servers out there, Luminox, Aurender...
So... Why?
I had a Pi4 basestreamer. It was clean. I got an Aurender N100H. Big improvement...but it has a good power supply. After having it a while, I definitely appriciate not having to deal with pi OS and Linux. Not that it was a big deal, but a much more normal polished product from...
Dealing with bass/sub bass is not easy. It's not just a matter of trapping a little bass, it's what frequency are you trapping. It's relatively easy to manage reflections down to 200 hz. But lower than that needs volume. A foot of fluffy, can get lower... 160, 2ft, 3ft, 4ft...100, 80, 60. So sub...
You have a small room. It is not hard to fill with bass. Getting rid of the reflection and standing waves are much harder. Having that much bass trap is not even close to excessive. To actually do it proper, 4ft covering the back wall is a good start. There is no free lunch, and there is no way...
However, room anomalies are not dealt with one being louder than the other... Reflections effects primary waves regardless and produce peaks and nulls. The room, and the reflections in it, are ALWAYS there unless dealt with. And while there may be personal preferences for how they are dealt...
Oh you're not crazy. Tubes are another rabbit hole. I have absolutely zero desire to try every obscure tube out there... And then get every obscure adapter and try those. I've done pretty well I think. I read up, and go for the consensus choice of what's best. Mullard El34s are widely regarded...
Man, I have to thank you. I tried near field again... Wow! When I got the Lampi, I was all about stage. And spreading out gave more space, bigger canvas so to speak. I thought near field was to closed in. Some speaker maker was ranting about too much tow in killed stage so I also found less was...
OK, thanks @godofwealth for opening that door... But are they not making them now. I looked but WE only lists 300Bs and any search just brings up NOS WE 274bs. So how much is a new production WE.... Because a single 300B is actually reasonable.
