| Adding a third REL subwoofer I have had Rel’s for 20 yrs so This is my guess.. One sub is connected red to +L & yellow to +R so you get both channels into the one sub. Two are hooked up in a stereo config. with one serving left channel and the other the right. I believe t... | |
| Valhalla2 vs Freya+ as a preamp Has anyone compared the Valhalla 2 to the Freya+ and is there a substantial sonic improvement? The Valhalla s an integrated headphone amp which sells for $349. The Freya is a dedicated preamp that sells for $949. OK, lets analyze this from a co... | |
| Tube Amp settings: Triode vs UL; 8 ohm vs. 4 ohm ? I believe that the triode setting will enhance the mid-range whereas the UL is more linear in freq response. That may help you to know what to listen for. There again, this is the theory. | |
| Michael Aday (Metloaf) has passed away. @larsman GFR did not get the radio exposure which CCR did either. IIRC, it was only after they left their manager, Terry Knight({?), with the Phoenix album that they got much radio play.Many GFR fans called them a sellout because they got air... | |
| Modded Orchid MHDT vs. Holo Audio May DAC Nice mini review. The Holo also costs about 3x the MHDT. So it should sound better. But even after you get the Holo Spring or May, there is still something better. My goal is to satisfy myself with the sound that is reproduced. Being a lone "audi... | |
| Tired of all the gimmicky pricing, i.e. $999.99 or $927 It's even worse when they part their hair on the wrong side | |
| when did it all get so complicated? @reubent Thanks for your question and response. FWIW, your question has spurred me on to compose a post to try which tries to describe my problems and hopefully get some help. I'll post it soon | |
| when did it all get so complicated? @reubent Are you referring to streaming your NAS based files on an PRI based system with Volumio, or a BlueSound Node? Or some other hardware and OS No. I have a Teac NT-505. It sounds very good when I can get it to work. The problem as I see... | |
| Which would you recommend? Thanks @ghdprentice. After being here and Audio Asylum for 21 yrs I'm feeling somewhat lost or out of place. I have been looking for a new hangout. I'll check out AA | |
| when did it all get so complicated? Anyway, it’s not that complicated. It may not be complicated to stream Qubuz, etc. They have all the software bugs worked out. However, trying to get music to play over the network to my streamer/player is among the biggest PITA I have ever enc... | |
| System bias I have seen the swing from speakers in the 60, 70’s They tried to cater to the mid range and treble and turn down the bass because a bass which is turned down tends to have a better clarity. So with the came speakers which didn’t extend well into... | |
| System bias I’m not so sure. If your a devotee of rock, is the system you put together going to excel in classical as well, or jazz, or folk or country etc. Nice question. I’ve kind of wondered about this at times. I think the better question is , "Does th... | |
| Michael Aday (Metloaf) has passed away. Any thoughts why he is not in the rock and roll hall of fame? Didn’t grease the right palms I guess. Grand Funk Railroad isn’t either even though the were top concert drawers and record sales late 60’s early 70’s | |
| Michael Aday (Metloaf) has passed away. If the fake news tells me the sky is blue, I go outside and look. Besides, people who have taken the vaccine die also, many from the vaccine. So maybe we can dispute covid & the vaccine now. No need to allow a man to RIP when we can throw som... | |
| Michael Aday (Metloaf) has passed away. Paradise by the Dashboard Lights is a great song with great lyrics. After being together for 47 yrs, when my wife starts to get on my last nerve, I sometimes sing, "And Now I'm Waiting For the End Of Time" She understands cause its a favorite song... |
