| Loud thud heard through speakers Great news. Much simpler than my guess. | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? You might be interested in the commentary happening over in this thread for the single driver cube audio speakers: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/cube-audio-nenuphar-single-driver-speaker-10-inch-tqwt-enclosure | |
| Loud thud heard through speakers You need to better isolate your turntable. You're almost certainly getting bass rumble or feedback. If you post a modified version of this question over in the analog area you'll get a ton of information about how to overcome the issue. | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 @fsonicsmith Thanks for the heads up. I get more intrigued by the day. I'm sure the Mojo's are great given the number of positive reviews, but I'm leaning towards the SW1X. I e-mailed Mojo to ask about the unit's distortion profile (not amount) ... | |
| First Watt SIT-3 preamp pairing advice My advice would be that if you are looking to land on the cooler side of neutral rather than full-on classic tube bloom, the LTA would be the better choice. @zm I have read this so many times from so many people that I take it as fact. The LTA... | |
| Pass Labs xa30.8 died The fuse socket is right above the power inlet. You have to unscrew that little plastic part with the slot in it. It's a 5amp fuse. I suspect that is your issue. These things are crazy reliable. If not, Pass will take care of you."On the re... | |
| First Watt SIT-3 preamp pairing advice I'll put another vote in for the Supratek. Everything Tvad said is relevant and there are literally no bad reviews. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @waltersalas. Hadn't heard the Lounge Lizards before. Thanks. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @grey9hound Just looked up the album on Amazon and added it to my Tidal albums for storage. I love the reviews... "This music slaps!" | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Have you heard the Price "Piano and a Microphone 1983" album? Raw, unfiltered Prince, really fun. I particularly like "Cold Coffee and Cocaine." (Figured I should put that title in quotes) | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options My dream post-academic career would be getting involved in such an effort, but unfortunately I haven't been able to figure out how to get in the door... "Hey bro, I'm a former top scientist in my field with research on the evolutionary function of... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options @atmasphere No doubt. If the human ear hears it different, then there somewhere (at some point in time) exists the ability to measure a difference. The ASR style measurement folks want to claim that human hearing primarily responds to written wo... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options @audioguy85 Note that the OP was already finding 45W insufficient with his original SET. That's what makes the change such a tough task... gonna want 90W+ I think. | |
| Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators? Perhaps still a useful conversation, but note the dates folks. This thread is from 2018. | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options And thanks for channeling @almarg for the technical reminder about why the Benchmarks would struggle when in bridged mono mode. It makes total technical sense, but is ironic that when configured to deliver the most power, they also lose the abili... |
