| Extreme NEWB Questions and Speaker Identification 1. No bass? Have you looked inside the speakers to make sure the woofers are completely wired up? No bass is not ordinary. The sub-woofer issue has many opinions on this forum--they are interesting and I recommend you read them. Since you are runn... | |
| Extreme NEWB Questions and Speaker Identification OP, first welcome to the hobby. Second, strongly consider keeping those speakers. In this hobby there can be a significant amount of seller's remorse--when someone has something of high value that they got a great deal on and then leave it behind ... | |
| Tidal WiFi not as good as cd In my system ripped CDs in WAV files stored in either Innuos Statement or Antipodes DX3 then to DAC (both using Roon software and both streaming Tidal) is significantly better SQ (IMO) than Tidal 16/44 FLAC files through the same DAC. WAV files te... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 With the Joseph Perspectives I think it would be difficult to overload a medium-sized room simply because the rear porting comes with plugs that you can adjust to your taste/needs. If memory serves me correctly the Perspectives manual recommends t... | |
| DBA for REL’s? I suggest you add more RELs and do the DBA or "swarm" concept with them. I don't think they all need to be the same model. I tried to read everything I could on this concept before attempting it. I then reached out to Duke LeJeune and asked his ad... | |
| Innuos Statement Review Here is a fast 200 hour burn-in update. Nothing new to report. Storms in my area had me turning my system off and on and off and on and off and then back on over the course of the last week. Because I run Rowland M925s they really benefit from bei... | |
| So just how much vinyl do YOU own? I'm just now adding vinyl to my rig and I will be following @polkalover's formula. If I truly love it on ripped CD, then I will consider buying it on vinyl. I own about 1,000 CDs; I don't love most of them. I will continue to buy CDs however. I th... | |
| Innuos Statement Review @firstknot Hmm...I am familiar with double blinded experiment methodology as it relates to medicine. In that instance (a drug experiment for instance) neither the study participants nor the persons conducting the experiment know which study partic... | |
| Innuos Statement Review @toetapaudio I will happily do so if you supply the Fidata, I will listen, compare and comment and then ship back to you :-) | |
| Innuos Statement Review @audiotroy Thanks for the insight. My current plan is to review the Statement over a 400 hour burn in time frame. I probably should have noted in the review above that the Statement was tested completely stock with supplied power cord and original... | |
| Innuos Zenith Backorder I also received my Innuos Statement last week. It took approximately six weeks from the time I ordered it. Happy with the purchase, unhappy with the wait...but I have had to wait for other things in this hobby so I didn't consider it exceedingly u... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? @geoffkait I agree with @mahgister above. Thanks for the psaudio post. I admit I am in Paul's camp. Although I have overcome some initial hesitations and tried tweaks that seemed to make some intuitive sense to me, it will probably take someone gi... | |
| Innuos Statement Review @mgrif104 You and I think alike. In my next round of critical listening I plan on doing exactly as you propose. The JR Aeris DAC specifically states that the SPDIF input is optimized over the USB input. I have tried both those inputs with a differ... | |
| Dedicated Circuit This is a topic where you will get different and conflicting opinions. I run three dedicated 20A circuits. After I installed them, some friends said I should have run four not three. That's how this hobby sometimes goes. Someone may say you missed... | |
