| If Bi-Wiring is an option, should I choose Bi-wiring over single banana with free jumpers My experience when I had one amp with two pairs of output terminals for each channel is as follows. I did not notice much difference between a large gauge jumper wire and the connector that came with the speaker. I did not test it much back and fo... | |
| Mixing XLR and RCA outputs when biamping? I vertically bi-amp my speakers and found it to be a nice improvement. I had BJC make a XLR cable that splits the signal from one XLR connector at the pre-amp output to two signal paths that run to the amplifier, each run is terminated with an XL... | |
| Shunyata Gemini or Hydra Delta D6 & What XC cable Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. | |
| any members in Montana "If you have ever watched that series Yellowstone (which I will not watch anymore and absolutely cannot stand), every once in a while, when they are tossing names about to try to add "realism" to that farce, they would refer to Bozeman." Well sai... | |
| Piano high notes very bright Your statement, "Ever since I rediscovered my hearing aids as an audio enhancement," suggests it is a hearing aid issue. I don't have hearing aids or know much about them, but as one ages the high frequency hearing is lost first. I wonder if you... | |
| Power Amp or DAC - weakest link, help please? Wouldn’t it be best to remove the Meridian 861v8 AV Preamp/DAC entirely? There are dacs (such as the one you propose - I don’t know much about it) that include volume control until you can get a separate preamp. The benchmark dac comes to mind as ... | |
| USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole I am interested in hearing your comments after trying a few. You really need to blind test them which is easy enough with a USB cable. I tried a $40 'audio' cable from Amazon, which I think is very nice, a WireWorld cable, and the DH Labs Mirage... | |
| EtherREGEN or LHY SW-6? Anyone compare the 2? Thoughts/opinions? I have the LHY SW-6. I was attracted to the linear power supply and did not want to have the $15 switch (with switching PS) connected to my streamer. I find the product to be very well built and it runs warm but not hot. Never had an issue with... | |
| Has this ever happened to you? Timely post. Just recently I have reached this state of music satisfaction. For years, I was swapping this or upgrading that, and there was usually something about the sound that bothered me or seemed unbalanced. Audiogon and my friend, who is als... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato Some qualifiers are needed. While there are great lyrics in some modern songs, the change I notice is in lyrics of the popular / radio play / awarded music when comparing songs from the 60's and 70's to today's music. Lyrics are not given import... | |
| Auditioned Wilson Sabrina X vs B&W 803D4 and Shocked I agree that the amps probably helped, however, I listened to a pair of B&W bookshelf's this weekend and was impressed. Still voiced a bit higher than I prefer, but nothing annoying or wrong. Clear with an engaging mid-range. | |
| … "And the government shall be upon his shoulders" It is refreshing to see so many knowledgeable posts about the scripture. | |
| Starting my showroom again I don't know how you would be able to compete with the internet for that range of products at that price point. The 'audio' companies that I see around for a long time in my market are companies that perform install of audio/HT/automation/in-wall... | |
| Room is way too bright. Another approach is to put something directly in front of the tweeter. I have experimented with different thicknesses of fabric to absorb some of the energy. Easier than treating the entire room. I should add that I was not thrilled with the re... | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? I think it is possible to have both detail and musicality. @ghdprentice once posted or told me it is about keeping everything in the original recording and this hit home. I started with what many would say is a detailed system (benchmark gear) whi... |
