| Snap, crackle and pop. My pleasure. Let me know if it’s something to do with that. It’s been a while since I’ve used BluOS but perhaps there’s something happening with the Bluesound / DAC pairing as well and perhaps BluOS has some sort of delay settings as well. | |
| Time to upgrade the pre-amp. @saulh I agree that the older ARC preamps are more prone to electronic problems down the road given their age, and newer ARC preamps deliver a more whitish / neutral sound, which is less reminiscent of the classic tube preamp sonic signature that ... | |
| Snap, crackle and pop. Is it happening only when you are playing tracks with different sampling rates? Sometimes a DAC has a re-sampling function that makes it emit noise when doing so. Sometimes settings can be adjusted in the DAC to accommodate a delay in the adjustme... | |
| Luxman CDP @tomcarr This feature is beneficial if you have an inverting phase preamplifier or amplifier. By default, most units deliver signal in proper phase, but some units deliver on inverted phase. Think of this as a perfect sine wave tone that gets fli... | |
| Prima Luna evo300 owners @ps I think the Primaluna is definitely in the “modern tube amp” camp. It might have a touch of euphonic compared to a 100% neutral solid state amplifier. It can have a bit more warmth than say an ARC Ref 150 SE, but it’s not as euphonic as say a ... | |
| Digital and wireless. It will not make a difference as the processing seems to happen in the DAC and amplifier that is built into the speakers. | |
| bookshelf speakers that sound good on an enclosed bookshelf This topic was just covered here in another thread. Perhaps you’ll find some good suggestions. Should you be interested in a pair of Scansonic MB-1B, I am an official dealer and also consider trade ins. | |
| Next Upgrade? It might be helpful to draw a sketch or share some photos of the space as the amount of detail is really hard to envision. There are two challenges I’m seeing with this. One is that your listening chair is towards a corner, subjecting it to refle... | |
| A Note For LS50 Owners I don’t own the LS50, though I have heard them and have high regard for them at their price points. I’m only writing to share my appreciation for your post and sharing your findings. Many people come across these types of learnings and don’t share... | |
| Prima Luna evo300 owners @tablejockey I have highly regarded and appreciated your posts and responses over the years, but you are misconstruing my statements above. I also did not say “it’s only an amp you buy if you spend on tubes.” I am very favorable towards the PL abo... | |
| DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take? It will depend on the quality of the electronics that you use as well as the portion of the frequency spectrum you are processing (e.g. just bass frequencies or full spectrum). Personally, I can always tell when a full frequency signal has been r... | |
| What I really hate about some music “I Like to Move It” by Reel 2 Real is probably your favorite song then, right? | |
| To all of the Wilson Audio owners: I would say that the Yvette needed at least five feet behind the speaker to sound its best, but it did sound very good in my space. I only had it about 4ft from the back of the speakers to the wall. Without the extra foot, or maybe even two, there... | |
| LPS Umbilical Cords +1 Everything matters. I’ve experienced huge improvements by building my own umbilicals. The last one I built was to connect the two units of the Aurender N30SA using sixteen 23awg pure silver solid core conductors. While not cost effective. the... | |
| To all of the Wilson Audio owners: I replaced my Wilson Yvette for Scansonic MB-6B, which I did prefer to the Wilson, but with an endgame plan to upgrade from those to a Borresen Z3 Cryo. The Yvettes were a wonderful speaker, but I could not give them the optimal amount of room for... |
