| Safety Ground Q Good discussion. I'll add something that is somewhat obvious but some may not understand it: Neutral and ground, being tied together at the panel, will both "work" to run a piece of equipment. So if something is wired wrong, there may be no i... | |
| Multiple audio systems in different rooms; how to link them with streaming gear? I use roon, one is wired, one is wireless. they sometimes get slightly out of sync and I have to stop and start. I'd look to fix this but I do i very seldom. Just thought I'd mention it as an issue you may need to deal with. | |
| A previous discussion included a statement about crossover components. @blisshifi I used that reference also. I second your recommendation. | |
| A previous discussion included a statement about crossover components. Correct. I don’t own an $80+ pair of speakers. My speakers are $8k and I spent $2k upgrading the crossovers. Jerry | |
| Innuos owners. Chime in @jon2020 I agree with your thought that "maybe it is just you". There is a lot of room for personal prefernce in this hobby. I respect your choice. I find no difference in the sound as both of them have the primary function of telling the str... | |
| Frampton Acoustic Classics already in my Roon Library. Very nice. Good post. | |
| A previous discussion included a statement about crossover components. Here is a photo of the crossover components on a $83K/pr speaker. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ieh8b6wj4ykdZWxF9 Here is a pair of crossovers I made for my speakers: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Gcs1i3H7gJbQtfxq9 As you can see I use a lot of Mundor... | |
| Innuos owners. Chime in @jon2020 roon works great with innuos. Roon has forever said the CORE needs to be on a stanalone component. The guy in your thread has it installed onboard the streamer and is having problems. During the time that he was complaining about I had... | |

| concrete (cinder) block tower with wood chopping block for turntable stand @jtcf I worked for years in the masonry industry carrying bricks and mortar (for my dad the brick layer) and mortar fills gaps but isn't a great bonding agent. working from the top down it would be easy to take he blocks apart tapping with a rubb... | |
| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? They don't. Many will tell you they do but they were probably told that by a salseman with a powerful amp. Just had a friend over last night and he was blown away by my 2 wpc amp. You listen to the first watt. If it sucks, you don't need 299 m... | |
| concrete (cinder) block tower with wood chopping block for turntable stand Your blocks may need careful attention to sit flat wtihout rocking. You can use shims or swap blocks around to eliminate motion. If you want to go first class buy a $5 bag of morter and use a very thin layer of morter between each set. You ca a... | |
| DIY Cheap crossover parts effect on frequency response Cheap parts shouldn’t cause your crossover to fail unless they are different values that you used in your design. many high end speakers use embarrassingly cheap parts in their crossovers. I’d say review your design, there is an error. Jerry P... | |
| Best 2 channel music quality on a 5.1 home theater AVR I'm thinking not a bot. but would love to hear from the OP to defend himself. there is no reason to compromise. Buy a high quality 2 channel amp with more than one input. On input A run the low level input from your 2 channel preamp, this will... | |
| Best quality connection from Network Streamer (BluSound Node II) to Preamp (MC C2700) Neither DAC is great and you will likely soon buy a standalone DAC. Experiment until then. Jerry |
