| DSP Active Crossover I would be willing to bet that most active speakers with DSP still have some degree of passive crossover networks prior to the electrical connections on the speaker. many drivers require a simple impedance flattening or notch netwok to rid the dr... | |
| Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box agreed that measurements and acoustic panels and traps are critical to a near perfect integration. i do believe that some subs give the impression of being faster than others in the same room. i tried several subs and came to the following c... | |
| Battle of the Open Baffles I heard two sets of spatial audio a few years ago and thought the bass was excellent at first but then it became fatiguing as if peaking on one frequency. Since there is usually bass boost in the crossover to compensate for frequencies lost beh... | |
| Lyra Delos Owners 2024 The Delos is the best sounding cartridge i have heard, handily beats the Ortofon Cadenza Blue I had before, cleaner, smoother, clearer and more dynamic. Shreds to bits the Soundsmith zephyr mimc star es and also better than the at ART9 series X... | |
| Humminguru record cleaner @rvpiano loving the performance and convenience of my guru i bought from the first batch from the manufacturer! multitasking while records are cleaning is so nice. | |
| Synergy @rvpiano the clearaudio is a decent cartridge and i suspect the soundsmith retip and cantilever (ruby?) gave it a performance boost. however the hana should be competitive. could the difference be that your phono preamp is better suited to M... | |
| Musical subwoofer under $2000 I am critical of subwoofers and most recently owned two REL T9i units. The RELs sounded excellent but had a couple flaws that made me sell them. The level control was too coarse for properly matching with my main speakers- one click position an... | |
| Tube preamp match with Solid Stare amp I love my Cary SLP-05 but it has too much gain for the Coda and the 10Kohms is borderline. This Rogue Audio RP-9 is my recommendation for you. Rogue Audio RP-9 Stereo Tube Preamplifier; RP9 - The Music Room (tmraudio.com) Products_RP9.htm ... | |
| Going from MM to MC The Lyra Delos sounds above every cartridge I have owned. It is clearer, cleaner, more detailed yet smooth, has dynamics and energy as good as my digital sources. Bass is punchy and detailed, midrange is clear and life like, treble is sweet and n... | |
| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? @joshindc With a turntable I am more of a function over form kind of guy. By that I mean once you break a turntable down into its basic functions and your table has those bases covered, the rest is diminishing returns on the dollar. And yes, pe... | |
| LS50 vs R11/7/5 Meta Music Direct has a 60 day return window. | |
| LS50 vs R11/7/5 Meta @martinman Which is why I recommended the MoFi Sourcepoint 10- it is a point source system with tweeter in the center of the main driver just like the KEFs but with a 10 inch woofer ! Also the Sourcepoint 8 is excellent too. MoFi Electronic... | |
| LS50 vs R11/7/5 Meta @martinman Depends on how critical of a listener you are. I was in the same boat- loved the sound of the LS50s but even with subs and in my medium room they didn’t sound big enough. I have upgraded several times since the originals and listened... | |
| AXPONA — PS Audio Listened to the PS Audio system at AXPONA pre covid as well as the 2023 show. The first thing that came to mind was "These sound like a big bold Wurlitzer juke box" heard many times in the days in my younger days. Big, bold bassy, forgiving m... | |
| Do I upgrade my cartridge or my turntable a better cartridge sounds better. |
