| Owning the speakers you dreamed of 20 years ago Steve59i like that comparison and that might prove the point of other in that the salon 2’s should sound much better than the originals. Never had a chance to compare but if speaker tech does get better than that would be a way to tell. I guess th... | |
| Owning the speakers you dreamed of 20 years ago secretguy, in which way are they better?Computer measurements? I kind of like the days of getting a designer's "taste" coming thru in their speakers, the only thing that made sense to me on how speakers varied in sound.Has driver technology gotte... | |
| Owning the speakers you dreamed of 20 years ago Haha okay, sorry Douglas but was in the business for years, have owned plenty of speakers over the years and sorry but technology hasn’t changed a lot for speakers in relation to every other piece of audio equipment. | |
| Owning the speakers you dreamed of 20 years ago Can you imagine shipping on those bad boys? Aerial’s are sexy. | |
| Owning the speakers you dreamed of 20 years ago Thought about the Heresy IV but the room I would put new speakers in is too big for them, they need to be off the floor more. Thinking of upgrading these Heresy though with new cross overs but one thing at a time. | |
| Owning the speakers you dreamed of 20 years ago Not to pick on Tekton, which seems to be the punching bag around here ;) but would you spend $3k on DI's from the or $3k for a pair of JM Lab Mezzo's? My Klipsch Heresy sound better than any other $500 speaker I've heard, and these are quite a bit... | |
| Is there such thing as a "vocal" forward DAC? Thanks everyone, I appreciate it.The Spatial M3's aren't new to me, so I've played a lot with placement for them. They are about 2 1/2 ft from the wall and toed in just a tad bit, been the best placement wise so far. | |
| Is there such thing as a "vocal" forward DAC? chayro, I think that's good advice. A lot of changes have happened to my system in the past few months and I think I need to let things settle a bit. I am going to roll some tubes though, after researching a bit, these JJ's can do exactly what I... | |
| Is there such thing as a "vocal" forward DAC? The Freya is new to me, just this week and I think there is another issue here, the stock tubes! I just switched to passive or differential and adjust to match volume db and I get clean crisp vocals and more detailed sound but thinner without the... | |
| Another streaming newbie Do you mind explaining this one a bit more? I don't think the analog analogy is the best one to use here since we are talking digital and ones and zeros. The reason a high end cdp cost so much mostly the dac, you can only do so much with the res... | |
| Another streaming newbie If only spotify would offer a high rez service, their UI and AI for selecting music for you, are the best in the business. | |
| Another streaming newbie A lot of people have an iPad, so that's where a setup like I spoke about comes into play as you're not using your phone. | |
| Another streaming newbie Never played with the Node but I can see the attraction to an all in one option with a great UI. You could start there and see if it sounds good to you, if not there are external DAC's for under $500 that WILL make you happy, don't let people tell... | |
| Can't get digital signal from iPad? I'm guessing that's because it's a non powered DAC? The Topping is plugged into a wall.I'm wondering if the CCK I got was bad or if my USB cable is from it to the topping is bad. | |
| Can't get digital signal from iPad? It's supposed to if you use the camera connection kit that converts it to USB output. It's supposed to provide a pure digital signal that you can then use with an external DAC.I can hook up a memory card adapter and that pulls up photos app so it... |
