| Electrostatic speakers Use a brush attachment and make shure it’s clean. But first disconnect the speakers for 5-6hrs, preferably overnight | |
| Electrostatic speakers Vacuum the panels. Dust accumulation on the panels can do that. If it won’t help, the panel is most worn out. | |
| Interconnect or USB cable Depending on how much you were planning to spend…. The best USB cable I have tried is the Audience AU24SE+. What to upgrade first? Tough to say…if you get better ICs you can only realize as much as your DAC and USB cable can dish out, and other ... | |
| Interconnect or USB cable Help others help you, list your equipment and current ICs and USB. | |
| Weird Just a thought… With two subs active now you’re probably exciting the room bass nodes and the added bass just overwhelms the rest of the frequency range. Dial the bass output down on both speakers until you get tight bass that doesn’t overpower ... | |
| a better interconnect cable +1 @jerrybj Audience AU24SX is a great line of cables. | |
| sample rate indicator display Benchmark does not upsample. I would say check the settings in amazon music or on your computer. Also, restart the computer when it’s connected to the benchmark and try streaming 16/44 only to benchmark. Another option would be to give benchmark a... | |
| DAC diminishing returns @mlsstl I stand corrected. Schiit return policy restocking fee is between 5-15% depending on product and for Yiggy it is 5%. So actually yea not too terrible in this case. | |
| DAC diminishing returns @dsfreeh my thoughts about your question… There are differences between DACs that’s obvious. One important aspect of “diminishing returns “ in my opinion is it is reached much sooner on a system that’s not up to the level to reveal the difference... | |
| DAC diminishing returns @charliee I get the reasons…was clarifying their return policy since the details were omitted and expressed my thoughts about it. | |
| DAC diminishing returns @bassdude actually if I’m not mistaking Schiit will charge you a 15% restocking fee upon return. So you”re down around $330 (provided it retails for $2200) plus the return shipping charges which could round it up to around $400 all in and turn it ... | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES @larry5729 Qobuz is just as easy to use as Tidal. I don’t think I came across anything higher than 24/192 on Qobuz. FWIW, my DAC doesn’t do MQA so I had disabled it in my Lumin streamer and I am just letting the Roon core decode and render for m... | |
| Opinions: Martin Logan Renaissance 15a vs. Bowers & Wilkins 800D3 @farne230 should be fine. | |
| Opinions: Martin Logan Renaissance 15a vs. Bowers & Wilkins 800D3 Neutral electronics, may be even slightly leaning towards warmer side of neutral. I had good experience with Pass Labs and Audio Research with the older 800 series. They’ll need a big amp. Avoid anything bright…components or cables. | |
| Opinions: Martin Logan Renaissance 15a vs. Bowers & Wilkins 800D3 I would pick whatever sounds best to me. But if I had to “blind” buy it, my choice would be the B&Ws. With the right electronics in the right room they would be the better speakers. Better bass integration, more lively top end, more engagi... |
