| Cartridge for my friend 264win, I did similar on my Carbon going from Red to Blue. The improvements were immediate and not subtle. To me, that would indicate that there is likely more room for some improvement so Bronze, as a price/quality point should be the sweet sp... | |
| Is your system amazing and you just dont see it? Thoughtful thread. I see, and here many of the same points made. I lack reference and exposure to top systems due to location. But damn it if my system doesn't fail to impress me at its modest level. Gleaning what I can, especially from eavesd... | |
| VINYL SUCKS! So in short order we've had "no room needs treatment" and "vinyl sucks". Wow. Did Agon get hacked by foreign agitators or something? Just don't take the bait folks. But yeah, you have to admire Claypool's skills if nothing else and that Bucket... | |
| High quality equalizers Anyone have opinion on what something like an ART EQ341 might do for this application? Seems popular in the mixing/studio realm but not sure what to expect for SQ in the audiophile world. 2 ch EQ, both balanced and unbalanced. Inexpensive at $1... | |
| High quality equalizers A similar question also for hearing loss compensation but does anyone know of an affordable EQ solution that has adjustable, 2 ch or Left vs Right? My loss is more in one ear. Wondering if best solution is simply 2 Lokis. | |
| What room treatment product have transformed your room or audio system? ATS is great place to get affordable panels or DIY for most economical. Knauf Ecose with FSK facing (white poly on one side) is best for taming bass and room nodes. Not sure ATS offers the FSK version. I found at insulation supply store. Buil... | |
| A pleading request to manufacturers of amplifiers and preamplifiers. When I opened this thread I never thought I'd see the word circumcision used in a sentence but there you go. Class D anyone? | |
| Can't believe I let myself get sucked in again. Pretty new here myself. So you'll be shopping for speakers soon... have you met kenjit yet? | |
| Critical subwoofer tip I have to agree with Erik and others. The room is the elephant... in the room. At freqs being discussed the room resonates in many modes at exactly a sub's typical range. Doing SPL is likely swamped by this. Some cool links out there that sho... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip While it would seem that getting the phase to match the mains is ideal, theoretically this isn't necessarily going to result in no peak or notch at the crossover point. Not unless the slope of the cutoffs for both are the same. For a mains woofe... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip Good thread on a tough, often debated topic. MC correct about ability to sense phase of say 20hz and 40ft wavelength using his numbers but two points. First, thats the extreme case. For most folks xo is up say at 60hz. So that means a wavelengt... | |
| High end Class D amps? Ok so A) Sphynx is the regular tube buffered input upstream of the D module implementation and the Dragon is the TubeD, just to be clear. B) if by looking at a picture one can determine that bypassing select functions within the D module is not h... | |
| High end Class D amps? djones51: I don't think that "insert" has to be literal! There is a myriad of pins on those modules that likely allow for other configs. Did you read any of the interviews provided or any others out there? I don't have a dog in this hunt, I'm ... | |
| High end Class D amps? As I've said, I'm no EE but the board's "wiring" or circuit path into the Sphynx's modules seems infinitely less complex than what's going on in the Dragon board's circuits going into the Dragon's modules. Rogue clearly describes inserting the t... | |
| High end Class D amps? Thanks for adding your experiences with D amps, specifically hybrids which hold my interest. I have a Sphinx integrated now and have 2 sets of tubes on the way to roll (including the Mazdas...). One thing I failed to mention, concerning audition... |
