| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? I shoot for 70db, 75db max. Listening chair 9 ft from speakers. | |
| Room Treatment A lot of good info already provided. The part mentioned about over doing it with absorbers is of the most importance as it happened to me. Bottom line, a combo of bass traps, absorbers, absorbers/diffusers and diffusers in the right combination wi... | |
| Do I need a headphone or speaker to appreciate high-end DACs? With headphones you will save a lot of money on room acoustics :) | |
| Maybe critical listening skills are bad? Reviewers can easily drive you down the equipment rabbit hole. I concurr with @mahgister that paying attention to the room acoustics is of primary importance if you ever want to truly be able to appreciate the differences that various equipments ... | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype EVERYTHING matters for sound. Next discussion. | |
| Thinking of changing things up. Need advice on DAC/Streamers @kray I have the same setup, Zenith mk3 to Tubadour V. The answer was a DDC to turn the USB connection into I2s. World of difference. Like 3 veils lifted, for real. Of course, quality of cables and fuses make a big difference too. Everything mat... | |
| What happened to the Innous discussion It was a sarcastic poorly worded discussion hence rightfully deleted. I still have a bluesound with Teddy Pardo LPS in my secondary system. In my primary system I use Innuos ZENith mk3 to my dac via a U18 DDC using the I2s connection. It sounds e... | |
| Analogue front end. You want more weight, scale and dynamics.Where do you start upgrading? Lewn is 100% right. It's a personal trial and error thing. Always will be. It doesn't matter what part of your system you are trying to optimize, it will always take multiple attempts to get the sound your ears desire. And it will take years, and ... | |
| At what level of Streamer and Dac does a DDC add no sonic benefit? I use Innuos ZENith mk3 USB into U18 DDC and I2s to Audio mirror Tubadour V dac. The difference vs USB direct to dac is not subtle. Unbelievable indeed.USB is extremely muffled in comparison. The veil being lifted with I2s completely applies in th... | |
| Pre-amp for Parasound A21+ & B&W 803 D3 My setup: Audio mirror tubadour V dac into Wyred4sound stp-se stage 2 pre into Parasound A-21+ amp like yours. Love the combo. The pre has every connection imaginable, great volume control and remote to boot. | |
| Analogue front end. You want more weight, scale and dynamics.Where do you start upgrading? Not sure about weight, but when I installed Audience front row phono cables between my VPI Classic and PSAudio Stellar pre, the difference was absolutely startling, scale and dynamics particularly. Best cable switch I ever experienced. Expensive b... | |
| Do you grade your albums? My entire vinyl collection (over 2k) is cataloged and graded as follows: - Year of album - Chronological number of album in artist discography - Artist country of origin - Country of specific pressing - Chronological number of pressing - Qu... | |
| Has it all been worth it? It has been in my case. The end result has well exceeded the endless search for the best sound to my ears in the best possible listening environment. It's obviously not for everyone. The commitment has to be real to get there. It's a great way to ... | |
| Has anyone tried these products? Never saw this Jim, but I would be a bit weary if indeed it absorbs 95% of the sound as they claim. It would seriously deaden the room imo. | |
| Sound proofing floor A 6" to 8" concrete floor is a very unusually thick amount of concrete! However, if that is correct, your sound may find its way down through the walls instead. I find it hard to believe it would go through 8" of concrete. The only sound that woul... |
