| Crossover or crossoverless Which Totem brand speaker does not have a crossover? | |
| op amp rolling Your Klipsch RPM 600II are a very forward sounding, lively speaker. I would choose an op-amp that warms things up a bit, and maybe an R2R DAC to help make things more listenable.....Better yet would be to sell the Fosi amps and upgrade to a beaut... | |
| Goal Zero Yeti 500 I bought a Goal Zero Yeti 500X earlier this year, to try it on my DAC and streamer in place of my balanced power conditioner. It did give me a very "dark and quiet" background to the soundstage, but it squashed the dynamics and transient attack of... | |
| Aleph 3 safe to operate? Take a look inside the amp, and check out the condition of the caps. If they look good (not swollen or leaking), and everything looks fine, hook up a cheap pair of speakers to it and turn it on. It should be fine if it appears to be a new amp. | |
| Vintage tube amplifier repair St Pete, Sarasota, Tampa area Try contacting VAC in Sarasota. Kevin once helped me with an issue I had with a non VAC brand amp many years back. He was very helpful. | |
| Ethernet Soix: I have tried the exact same Linkup Ethernet cable from Amazon that you mentioned, in both a 5 meter long run from my router, and a short 1 meter run to my streamer from my Ether Regen. The cables look and feel very solid and well made, but ... | |
| Gustard R26 - different sound signatures in different units Yes, I did try all of the filter settings, which made very slight differences. I used the coax digital input, with a very good cable for most of my listening attempts. I also tried the USB input as well. When I sent it back for a refund, it was to... | |
| Gustard R26 - different sound signatures in different units I purchased one new many months back, and gave it 10 days time to burn-in. The sound never changed during that time. It was very ill-defined, rolled off on the top, and lacking in dynamics. I have never heard a DAC or CD player that sounded that b... | |
| Amp Stands - Wood or Stone From personal experience, I have tried both granite and different types of wood. Under front end components and amps. I found the granite gave me a more "forward" or up-front presentation, sometimes "edgy". Not the case with wood. | |
| how to run three subs from one lfe jack How about purchasing three wireless subwoofers, and running them off a wireless sub transmitter? No long RCA cable runs needed. | |
| Gustard R26 ladder DAC sound signature - comments? In response to Magnon...No, I have not tried another one yet. I'm certain that it was not a matter of system synergy in my case. It had to be one that slipped by their quality control and was not tested for sonics on a good system. It must have be... | |
| Gustard R26 ladder DAC sound signature - comments? I had the same problem sonically with a new R26 that I purchased. I gave it around 200 hours of play time, and it sounded absolutely boring, lacking in detail, and rolled off on the top. I sent it back for a refund right away. I think they have se... | |
| $100-200 linear power supply Pick up an Astron RS12A 12V power supply off E-Bay for well under $100 including shipping. Over 10 amps of current, American made, built to last for many decades. They sound fantastic, and better than many "audiophile grade" power supplies I have... | |
| Stolen property If the seller knows little to nothing about them, is selling them well below market value, and can show no proof of purchase or ownership, I would be very cautious! | |
| Velodyne sub missing remote You can find replacement, aftermarket Velodyne remotes on E-Bay, as well as originals. Get a genuine one for around $45, for they are better built, and have a longer range. You will need the remote to re-set features, gain levels, crossover contro... |
