    Upgraded from Klipsch Corwnwall IV's to La Scala AL5's

    Hello! So the CW's and the LS's are VERY different speakers. And if you are info mid-fi it's an easy jump. But if you are into high-resolution systems with higher end cables and components, it's a more challenging jump. Let me explain: The CW's are fantastic all around speakers. The front...

    2-Channel Subwoofer Integration

    I'm not sure if maybe you missed typed or I misread but I have RCA's our of my Luxman running into my 8033 sub DSP then into the back of my SVS 3000. The ability to tune the sub from the seated position post-sub DSP flattening via the SVS app allows me to get a seamless blend to my personal...

    Upgraded from Klipsch Corwnwall IV's to La Scala AL5's

    Thanks! Yeah - I put them on furniture sliders to experiment what was the right spacing from the wall as they are 201 pounds each! LOL

    For sure! I mention in the vid why they are where they are.

    The Law of Diminishing Returns is BS! A Video on the Magico M9 (TAS)

    I agree. I tried a Pass Lab integrated. Ultimately I did not care for it in my system. I did not blame the Pass, I blamed it on a lack of system synergy with the Pass.

    Ramblings: 2022, my year in hi-fi with the Innuos Pulse, SOtM iSO CAT7 and Lampizator Amber 4

    That's great you are going to experiment and try the different set ups. I always find that the most fun part of the hobby.

    Lampizator announcement: launch of our all new TOTL HORIZON DAC

    I had a tough time blending my SVS with my La Scala's. Conversely it was a cinch when I had my Cornwall's. Ready to give up, my dealer suggested I try DSP on the sub. So I ordered one of these and blending with the LS's was much easier and I am very pleased with the results. I think it was...

    Help with new interconnects

    I had GREAT luck with Zenwave after trying many other brands. They were great at understanding my gear and sound I was looking for and offering a free trial to make sure it worked for me. I can't recommend them highly enough: . I put my thoughts about my listen on a video to share with others...

    Shelf or individual component....?

    Thank you. I had previously checked them out as I agree with you - great looking stuff that would fit my needs perfectly. But if I remember it would have been considerably more expensive than the higher grade Artesania rack so I stopped considering it.

    Shelf or individual component....?

    Good point. And the wife does like the way the current rack looks with the two tone stains tiger striped maple with 2.5" shelves and 3.5" square legs - all solid wood. As I have lots of switches and stuff coming and going, it's great to have the extra space. The beginning of this video show a...

    Shelf or individual component....?

    I agree each responds differently. The first one I linked to is half the price of the second one. Of course it would cheaper still to buy the right footers at the complaint level and keep my Timber Nation. Although I love the look and idea of the more expensive rack I linked too, I think I...

    Shelf or individual component....?

    Thanks guys. Here in Texas we have tile floors on top of a slab. Wife likes the look of the Timberbation more than the other racks, and I also I'm looking to strike a balance. The wife loves the look of the Timbernation we currently have. It is a very nice and very robust stand. I would...

    Shelf or individual component....?

    Hey Guys, So I have a beautiful Timbernation shelf with 3" square legs and 2" thick shelves all solid tiger Maple. Has anyone ever tested how good is it for vibration control? I had someone send me IsoAcoustics Orea Bronze feet to try under a component, and while it certainly made an...

    Good mid-price audiophile switches

    Hi - apologies if it came across that way. I would ALWAYS rather have one GOOD high end switch over 2 cheap ones. However 2 or even 3 good cheap ones hooked up the way I did in the review yielded a significant improvement (***in my system) over one mediocre switch. Then, adding the right...

    Good mid-price audiophile switches

    That is not what I am saying. You can reread my previous posts for clarity. However let's be honest, there are some really crappy "high end" switches as well. As I said before. in the US 115 voltage all the Netgears were horrible regardless of if/what high end switches were run upstream...

    That was not the D-link that was part of the winning combination. The video give model numbers and everything.

    Good mid-price audiophile switches

    I have one of those - it's the Paul Pang Quad. It's very, very good. I tried just the PPA QUAD by my streamer and it is great. Then I experimented and found having additional D-Link switches in line made it even better. I also had great results adding a GigaFOIL which I tried both before the...

    Good mid-price audiophile switches

    Rather than being someone on a forum that espoused theories without testing, I bought 15 switches and tried them all. I don't talk about "what I think", I talk about what I actually experienced. If you watch the vid I used to describe this, to the posts I have put up here about this, some of...

    Good mid-price audiophile switches

    I do believe - at least in my system based on my personal tests - the concept of needing "only one very good switch" is not the way to achieve better sound.

    Good mid-price audiophile switches

    Happy to help! I LOVE experimenting with even the most mundane aspects of audio. It keeps me from getting bored. for instance, when I did the vibration control test on the cheap switches, which was the best way? No rubber pads? Single pads? Double pads? Stacked vs non stacked? Which...

    Good mid-price audiophile switches

    Hi Kenny - apologies if I misread your post. I thought you were asking for a technical explanation. My extremely non-technical understanding from talking to my much smarter EE PhD friends has to deal with DECENT switches being able to remove noise. To that point I tested Cisco, TP-Link...

    Good mid-price audiophile switches

    As I explain in my test, I don't visit forums sitting back waiting for people to convince me with a theoretical posts. I got tired of forum peeps espousing positions they have never tried themselves (I am not talking about Emile nor you) and bought 15 switches and on my own and experimented to...
