| subwoofer with zero punch... help Two things jumped out at me:First: Found that 65hz was nearly silent This is clearly a bass NULL or bass node due to the size of your room.Second: The LDF drop ceiling and R19 is creating an enormous bass trap that is sucking the life out of the ... | |
| More watts or better power ? Based on Stereophile measurements of the XA25, I would say that the amp is good for up to 30 watts per channel clean. Anything above that will start to have distortion/clipping problems (not that you would really notice any difference between 25 ... | |
| DIY PCs At $50, you are not going to get anything that is a significant improvement over stock cables. In fact, the sound may actually be worse in some areas, depending on what you get, such as gold-plated plugs or even bare copper plugs. The bare coppe... | |
| Getting the most out of streamed video: Netflix and Plex (with NVIDIA Shield Pro?) Putting in a Sony UBP-X800M2 or the Panasonic DP-UB820 is not likely going to provide any significant upgrade over the Nvidia Shield for Plex streaming because they are both relatively low cost players with switching power supplies. The Oppo 20... | |
| $2000.00 to spend on new speakers. Once again, a "what best speaker" thread where we have 12 different "best" speaker recommendations, many of them even after the OP bought his new speakers! lol | |
| What LPS are people using on their Roon A good linear power supply will significantly improve any digital transport (including a Roon Nucleus). There is a lot of discussion over on audiophilestyle forum about Roon Nucleus.You might want to check out the Teddy Pardo "TeddyNUC" power sup... | |
| Decent 25' Cable I do not have experience with the Canare 4S11, but if you shop Blue Jean Cable, I would avoid the Beldon speaker cable. I've tested with this and it's pretty much lo-fidelity crap. Probably because Beldon uses crappy copper. I don't know if the... | |
| Marantz AV7706 vs Yamaha CX-A5200 - Stereo DACs quality some processors can take an SACD digital stream over the HDMI cable and decode/process it. That being said, I think the Oppo sonic signature is somewhere in between the Marantz and Yamaha.The Marantz is excellent with a large power supply but voi... | |
| Center channel Yeah, I have seen that in Netflix as well. It is sent down in DD 5.1 format, but only contains left/right channels. You have to forcably apply something like "Dolby Pro Logic II" or similar "analog surround" decoding process. Erik like Neo6:Cine... | |
| Center channel If your center channel has good enough woofers, I would recommend setting it to LARGE. I have found that male voices have a deep bass/texture that actually comes out better through the center channel. It's more cohesive. The subwoofer has timin... | |
| Math question: Where is zero gain on the Windows 10 level slider? I would set the Windows level to 100% so that you get the full bandwidth of digital data. The actual "gain" should be configured on the Benchmark ADC itself. Your goal is to get a hot enough signal on the Benchmark input to allow the ADC chip to... | |
| Tactile bass shaker lp/hp settings I have actually used these back in 1998. I had 6 of them bolted to the bottom of my couch. It did create additional bass vibrations that you could feel, but after experiencing them, they really did not add that much to the movie experience. Kin... | |
| Audio PC Build an AMD processor computer. Add a Pink Faun card of your choice (USB / SPDIF / I2S). Then get a dedicated linear power supply for the Pink Faun (such as Farad Super 3 or Teddy Pardo or some others). I would recommend using a higher end pow... | |
| Thoughts? If you want to consider a really refined high-resolution tower with good bass "for the money", maybe look at Elac Carina, or even better Elac Vela. | |
| Thoughts? If you are looking at $2800 Aria towers such as the 926, you will probably be just fine. I’m saying that the 906 bookshelves will not have a strong enough midbass for left/right (my own opinion).The SVS will definitely have stronger bass than Foca... |
