| Bricasti M1 SE Thanks for the excellent report, Jeff. Glad that the network switch proved to be helpful, and kudos to Fsmithjack for suggesting it in his thread on the "Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC."Best regards,-- Al | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Gdhal 1-11-2018 However, I must disagree with the rationale you offer for the removal of said posts. Consider what in my view is compelling evidence to the contrary. Any one of the words - including abbreviated words, acronyms and quotation - used... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Regarding the two posts that were removed, I’m pretty certain that the reason for their removal had nothing to do with the thoughts they were intended to convey, but instead was because the first one contained an expletive, and the second one bega... | |
| mono block or bi-amps which would you pick? Assuming the speaker specs are accurate, which can often be a big "if," and assuming about 3 db of "room gain," it can be calculated that 28 watts into each of the two speakers will produce an SPL of about 106 db for a centered listener sitting 10... | |
| mono block or bi-amps which would you pick? Zipost, it sounds like the biamp alternative you are asking about is what is referred to as a horizontal passive biamp configuration, meaning one stereo amplifier for the mid/hi sections of the speakers and another for the bass sections, without u... | |
| Jitter and 75ohm cable length @BeolabHello Fredrik,As far as I can tell from the descriptions and specs all of those seem like reasonable choices. However the indication that the Van den Hul cable has a minimum safe bending radius of 70 mm strikes me as a bit worrisome. Also, ... | |
| Why are the vocals on some records hidden behind the music on my system? ...maybe I don't have the PT-6 it might be a PT-5 because there is no dial to adjust vta only a set screw to tighten after manually raising or lower the tone arm by feel, I wish there was a calibrated dial it would have been so much easier. ... | |
| Why are the vocals on some records hidden behind the music on my system? almarg in checking the anti-skate (AQ PT-6) my understanding may be off but I thought you adjusted it to where the tone arm moved backwards then adjusted back toward no forward or backward movement? At present it is set at .5 so that raising and l... | |
| Why are the vocals on some records hidden behind the music on my system? A possible contributor to the issue which was mentioned by Williewonka and Inna but has not been addressed in the responses by the OP is incorrect anti-skating. To the OP: When you view the cartridge from the front while it is in the groove of ... | |
| Jitter and 75ohm cable length Hello Beolab,I would proceed based on the comment by the dCS person, which pertains to your specific equipment, rather than on the more general guideline of 1.5 meters. As I said in an earlier post in this thread: Summarizing all that has been sa... | |
| Dedicated 20 amp lines/should i use a sub panel Hello Indranilsen,The first thing I would do before deciding how to proceed would be obtain a multimeter, if you don't already have one, and measure the AC line voltage at various times of the day and night over the course of several days. If yo... | |
| RCA Shorting Plugs Hi Jaybe,It would be extremely rare for that issue to arise in the case of a preamp.As I mentioned that issue would arise in cases such as power amps where the designer anticipated that only one of the two inputs (XLR or RCA) would be connected. ... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC I went in to settings in JRiver and changed the Pre buffering from the recommended 6 seconds to the maximum of 20 seconds. This appears to have fixed the problem. I can now play DSD 2X. Al does this alter the sound at all. From a technical s... | |
| Dedicated 20 amp lines/should i use a sub panel Noromance, sounds like a plan! FYI, though, the manuals I’ve seen for various REL subs recommend that when a single sub is used in conjunction with monoblock amps, and is connected at speaker-level, the black wire should preferably be connected to... |
