| My First DIY Power Cable Rhodium connectors are one of the worst conductors, you might as well uses nickel. Have you ever tried a rhodium plated connector?!?! (after 300 hour burn in, that is). I do understand that rhodium is very low down on the list with regards to ... | |
| Why no audio from Netflix? This is an old thread. For those reading, my post above is no longer valid. The Oppo 103/105 firmware is "locked in time" as of beginning of 2017 and the Netflix app no longer works since Netflix constantly updates the streaming service. I susp... | |
| My First DIY Power Cable Sorry Erik, but I really wish you would stop banging on Furutech just because of their locking banana plugs. I have used a large amount of other Furutech connectors of various types and they are all excellent. My recommendation: Furutech FI-15(R... | |

| Touch up paint for Preamplifier ? I actually recently searched around because I had some silver trim pieces that I wanted to paint black. The solution was on an Emotiva forum and it is pretty easy to do. The paint can be gotten from Home Depot. I first used the Rust-Oleum "Self E... | |
| Speaker Recommendation Help Please. heh, I can't help commenting more. I see several people have recommended Klipsch speakers (i.e. K-Horns, Heresy, Cornwall). These are very unique speakers. They are very lively sounding and can be extremely fun to listen to (especially if it's ... | |
| Speaker Recommendation Help Please. A couple more comments. The one acoustic treatment that I would actually recommend firmly in your room is to get a very large and thick area rug to put on the floor in front of the speakers between the speakers and the "listening couch". Second... | |
| Speaker Recommendation Help Please. I see lot's of recommendations of what you "should" do, such as - pull out the speakers from the wall - add a bunch of acoustic treatment and bass traps These are all "perfect world" recommendations and tend to be "knee-jerk" responses witho... | |
| Sub Decision Lately, I've been trying to learn the "sound" of different subs. The Rythmik subs actually stand out here. I actually think it's because many of the Rythmik subs use a Class AB amplifier, which gives a better more realistic tone. I have noticed... | |
| Diamond dome tweeters This was the only Seas Diamond reference I found: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/seas-excel-t29d001-had-anyone-heard-it.293222/ I have used several Seas drivers. They are very nice with different sonic signatures. I build and then ... | |
| Using an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K with Oppo The firmware on the Oppo are locked based on January of 2017 (the last Oppo firmware). This means that Youtube and other streaming clients are based on standards from January 2017. Youtube, Netflix and many other streaming services have continuall... | |
| Intergrated Amp suggestions for B&W 805d4 I will further recommend Luxmen if you want a smooth high resolution transparent amp that is not harsh sounding. However, the B&W diamond tweeters are very revealing and can show problems with your cables/terminations. If you are using Audio... | |
| Anthem: Latest bugs, er, Genesis CEC is required to allow communication/commands between the TV and your processor. It is likely that CEC communication/coordination is needed to back-feed the Dolby Digital stream from the TV to your processor. The pin 14 audio return channel on... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? Oh, one more note. I would be very careful about using Dirac to eq the response of these speakers flat down to 20 Hz. The Cabass is stated to having response down to 41 Hz, which is definitely possible with the right 6.5" drivers. However, past... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? This is really a side comment and doesn't apply to main speakers vs subwoofer. I have found that frequency response down to 20 Hz is not necessarily that important, especially for music. There are definitely recordings which you can get that do ... |
