    Budget bluetooth capable amp

    Hello, I am looking to setup a nearfield system in my office and I need an inexpensive amp with Bluetooth capabilities. I just need to run 2 bookshelf speakers and plan to stream to the amp. Nothing special, I hear about a lot of these little amps that are under $150 or so that are no name...

    Vocals are always to the left… how to correct?

    Ok, I just thought of something. which panels being removed do you think allowed the vocals to move slightly to the right? I am wondering if I put up acoustic panels on the left wall it would absorb reflections from my right. Speaker and lessen how much I hear from the left ear. So maybe keep...

    Vocals are always to the left… how to correct?

    I think you are correct, I may try closing the curtains(which are heavy blackout curtains) close the left pocket door and see if that makes more of a difference, Maggie’s are really particular and might just not be a perfect fit for my rooms, I don’t have this much of an issue with my Klipsch...

    Vocals are always to the left… how to correct?

    So I went ahead and cleaned out all of the acoustic panels on my walls and those that were leaning on the corner area. Seems like the vocals moved over, not quite direct center but it’s much better, my only annoyance is all the time and money I spent on the acoustic panels might not have been...

    Vocals are always to the left… how to correct?

    Yea, I think it’s a rod placement issue, I have 2 setups and when I listen through my McIntosh amp, it has a L/R channel gain and I can usually correct it with that , but my Vidar that runs my Magnepan does not have that. So I tried a mono recording and the vocals went from almost center, but...

    Vocals are always to the left… how to correct?

    So I have my speakers setup in a triangle configuration, but seem to always hear vocal coming from the left side much stronger than the left. I have tried listening to a mono recording and it still leaned left, tried switching the left and right cable on my amplifier and it still leans left, is...

    Lenco L70 value

    I am looking to sell my Lenco L70 Turntable, but am having trouble determining a value, the headshell. I have the lid in excellent condition, everything seems to be original. Someone soldered a Rega Carbon cartridge on iit. The speed is a little off, but I understand this is a simple adjustment...

    I had NO IDEA there was such a thing, never seen it before, hopefully they aren’t too rare. james

    MX112 possible modern alternative

    That’s a good suggestion, just need to be patient as they are pretty rare, saw one that sold for $850 on EBay, that would be reasonable. any other suggestions are appreciated, was wondering about brands like Cambridge audio or Emotiva, are they able to get anywhere near the sound of a McIntosh...

    MX112 possible modern alternative

    So I have a bit of a problem, if you will. I currently have a McIntosh mx112 preamp and on its way to me is a Schiit Vidar that I plan on using to run a recent purchase of a pair of Magnepan LRS. I already have a McIntosh ma6200 as a pre connected to a McIntosh 2505 for another stereo setup, but...

    McIntosh C-22 (possible scam, or smoking deal?)

    Wow! Then I guess they are asking $700 down and monthly payments! Funny you found the same pics. Thanks everyone, I figured it was too good to be true.

    McIntosh C-22 (possible scam, or smoking deal?)

    So on Facebook Marketplace there is a listing for a McIntosh C-22 and with a really low asking price. I tried to call them on their bluff and inquired, the person responded and was willing to let me come by to see it, even sent me their address, unfortunatly they are not anywhere close to me...

    “Never seen before” Realistic speakers questions

    Anyone ever seen these realistic speakers or can speak about them? I have found plenty of info on the realistic mc-1200 but nothing like this 3 way, seems pretty solid, unfortunately there is a language barrier with the seller and these are the only pics I have been able to get.

    Acoustic panel opinion

    So in reading up on fabrics, Duck canvas or fabric was mentioned, I went to JoAnn fabrics today to look at what they had and they have a good color choices, but the fabric does not seem too breathable, it’s strange to hear people recommend Linen, burlap, muslin and then duck canvas, Muslin is...

    Acoustic panel opinion

    so I broke down and purchased some Owens Corning 703 boards, appears to be same the same thing my 1” thick current panels are made of, but 2” thick on the new pack of 6 I ordered. I plan on just wrapping them with fabric, but my question is what fabric can I use that has a design or pattern of...

    Acoustic panel opinion

    I think this is what I’ll have to do, as removing or moving the couch is not an option.when sitting in my chair, my ear level is at 3’. So some 4x2 panels maybe 2 will work, does places like Home Depot or lowes carry rockwool? Or are there any certain types of insulation that also works?

    Acoustic panel opinion

    So opposite of the wall that has the acoustic panel layout is a simular wall, the mirror is behind me when I am sitting in the chair, but that mirror is about 10ft behind my listening position. When I am seated in my listening position the front of the leather couch is at ear level, the back of...

    Acoustic panel opinion

    thanks for the advice, I took down the plastic panels and have just put almost all of the good acoustic panels I have on the wall instead. I also ordered a shag type runner to go in front of my speakers that is 10’ wide by 3’ deep, to place between the end of the larger rug and the speakers...

    Acoustic panel opinion

    well… damn, I clapped in all different areas of the room and from my listening area, the clap was not as echoed as it was when I am standing off the rug closer to the speakers, but then again I would think the closer you are to a wall, the louder the clap would sound. The right wall and left...

    Acoustic panel opinion

    well the back of the room is no better, I have not tried to do anything with this portion as it’s our front door area, and I know my wife will not approve acoustic treatments at the front door of our home. I guess I am more concerned with first reflection points at this time, I cannot expect to...

    Acoustic panel opinion

    I agree, I will be returning those panels, don’t think they really did anything, so with that being said, I do have some acoustic panels I purchased some time ago, would a layout as shown below be effective? I’m trying to make it decorative looking to at least attempt to look decorative as this...
