| Bricasti M3 @musicman159 You wrote: "more transparent and detailed than the M1SE without being musical" Is there a typo there?? | |
| Virtual Systems Picture Order And then don't change any captions. I just did and it bumped that file to the top making it the public image of the system. Wow. | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad @mikelavigne Such an amazing room (and system)... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC @lemonhaze And I use a "decent" ethernet cable, a Supra cable I bought off of Ebay. Periodically a change in the system configuration has forced me to use another random cable and I haven't ever noticed a change, so I wouldn't focus on that vari... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad I think an empty space, or a very low rack is best, especially if the rack is even with the speakers. As people have pointed out, however, that is going to be room dependent. I've got 8 feet between my speakers and definitely noticed improvement... | |
| Tekton Perfect SET vs Perfect SET 15 Didn't @teajay over at 6moons & hometheaterreview do that comparison? If not, I'm sure he has some thoughts... | |
| SET amplifier recommendation @cygnus_859 Also, I know DIY isn't for everyone, but if it does sound at all attractive, I would just ask the community over at: https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pass-labs/ which amp build would best fit your speakers. A lot of very knowledgeabl... | |
| SET amplifier recommendation @jdl57 A speaker change to Coincident PREs (from Coincident Super Eclipse IIIs) caused me to have to change amps from Coincident Frankenstein 300bs. Eventually I built my own First Watt F4s and find them excellent. I was very surprised, because ... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC @lemonhaze I purchased the ps audio bridge ii, which puts a network input in my dac. | |
| New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC @high-amp7 My personal definition is that a streamer has an ethernet input, allowing you to "stream" files directly over the network/internet (presumably using Tidal, Spotify, Qobuz, etc... in addition to from a hard drive). A server may hold th... | |
| SET amplifier recommendation And since some of the information is buried in the thread, here's a quick rundown: all you do is set your volume at the max listening level you use, then play the provided -12db 120hz test tone while measuring voltage at the speaker terminals. Sq... | |
| SET amplifier recommendation @cygnus_859 If you're curious how much power your speakers are using and have (or are willing to buy) a multimeter, you can use the technique at this link to actually measure how much power you'll need..https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/20... | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? Also, because I wasn't using the second output, I decided to buy some additional capacitors to try in that location. On a whim bought two Mundorf Supremes as something very different than the Duelund copies Don uses on output 1. I find them substa... | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? Have finally put in enough time with my Don Sachs pre (all upgrades) to evaluate the unit. The difference between my source direct (I've used both the ps audio pwd & dsd units) and through the Don Sachs is not even close. Music sounds diffuse ... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC upgrade to DSD? One last suggestion... If you've got the space, you may also consider using screw connections throughout the crossover. It eliminates soldering and let's you easily swap out capacitors to try different types. That's what Nelson pass uses on his h... |
