| Updated my streamer so do I now have to burn it in. Denafrips dac required it, If you've got new electronic parts, the sound is very likely to change subtly over time. I built my own amps from Nelson Pass designs and was able to compare two boards with identical designs, but with higher-quality parts in the new board. At ... | |
| A speaker audio journey over: Classic Audio Loudspeakers T1.5 Reference = End game @secretguy What does your post even mean?? I can feel the vague aura of smug superiority you're projecting, but seriously, what's the point? | |
| Sweet Sounding DAC @mdrone I'm with the others that suggest finding room for a dac that you love. The ikea wall shelf is a good idea. That said, Abbas audio seems to fit your sound profile and has a nice form factor model that might fit. Check out the thread over... | |
| Streamer/dac …. Organic/euphonic sound signature Personally, I'm not super attracted to warmth as a descriptor. I think choosing based on natural tonality & realism (vs. high-fi and analytical) gets me there without as many distractions. | |
| Streamer/dac …. Organic/euphonic sound signature Audio Mirror T3SE (I own it) or T4 (unheard, but newer model). See various threads here, or this review: https://v2.stereotimes.com/post/audio-mirror-tubadour-iii-se-nos-tube-dac-by-terry-london Abbas Audio 3.2SE. See this thread: https://www.... | |
| Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years @ajant I have Coincident Pure Reference Extreme speakers. I think they're around 92db/1w/1m (listed as 94db, but I don't believe it) and supposedly a flat 8ohm impedance. I'm sure you could get by with a single F4, mine worked fine that way... ... | |
| Crossover Capacitors for Accuton Tweeters - Solen -> ClarityCap -> Jupiter -> Duelund Well, no capacitor is certainly better than the most expensive, highest-quality option you could buy, assuming the tweeter is built to handle a full range signal! Congrats. | |
| Crossover Capacitors for Accuton Tweeters - Solen -> ClarityCap -> Jupiter -> Duelund Plus AMT tweeters and Mundorfs are clearly a natural fit. | |
| Crossover Capacitors for Accuton Tweeters - Solen -> ClarityCap -> Jupiter -> Duelund @lewinskih01 Maybe a Mundorf in the EVO Supreme line? They've got your large value caps and I really enjoyed the Supreme Silver Gold Oils in my linestage as output capacitors. The only thing I didn't like was that they impacted bass performance.... | |
| Buzzing in Speaker while Playing CDs As suggested, simply flipping the right and left RCA cables that connect your dac to your amplifier (or preamp) will immediately tell you the source of the problem. If it stays in the left channel it's downstream (amp or speakers) and if it follo... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Completely unaffiliated, but I saw a Bakoon 13R up on USAM... thought I'd draw attention here since a number of people were talking about using a Bakoon with their Nenuphars. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @charles1dad Would be fun to combine the best of both worlds with four Cube subwoofers! | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @charles1dad I suspect the Cube Audio solution is of higher quality (17,000 euros for the two Cube subs vs $3200 for the Swarm), but at the end of the day you've still only got two sources of bass and all the standing wave issues that that brings.... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @david_ten No affiliation, but I would point basically everyone to audio kinesis’ swarm solution. It fixes issues in a scientifically proven method. I truly believe that multiple sources of sub80hz bass spread around the room fixes a problem that ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @stephendunn Thanks, even that little bit helps. Appreciate it. |
