| Maestro AC outlet Rhyno,Do try the audiophile wallpaper. It's like a wall of sound.These kind of tweaks are all great & fun. I personally have various flavors of oyaide wall sockets. I have tried quite a few others.I think what can be tedious is the idea that a... | |
| Amarra 2.3.2 vs Puremusic 1.82 playback software Hi Gsself,There is something glorious in the Amarra sound. I wonder if that is because we are using Weiss DACs? I am interested in hearing from people who don't use Weiss products to see if it bring out something else.I have had no bug problems so... | |
| Lyngdorf RP-1 I had a similar experience. Although my room was not too bad, it did balance the soundstage in areas I had no idea there were a issues in.In the end I did feel it EQ'd a tad too much bottom end out of my system at the time. The software version I ... | |
| Maestro AC outlet Audiofeil,What I love most about your post is many here are not quite sure if you are taking the p#ss or not.I wonder if an industry like the space industry or aeronautical industry suffers such miss information? I put cryo'd silver on the booster... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers Duomike,It looks like my friends room correction/crossover/dac/Pre in a box can be used as an insert on my DAC (computer FireWire into my Weiss DAC then out into room correction & back into my DAC then into the amp). Also rather than getting i... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers Duomike,I have read a reasonable amount about time alignment & it strikes me there is little gain vs all other issues. Probably why AG do it that way.It may be easier to time align a 2 way, but once you get to 3 & 4 ways it gets very trick... | |
| Why CD players will never be dead Bjesien,You can use amarra via iTunes. Amarra just sits on the output.You can browse in iTunes then when you play, amarra will cache the file & play from memory.Amarra sounds slightly better & can play gapless if you use amarra on its own.... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers I am struck by this issue with AG time alignment. Has anyone tried to time align in the digital domain? I know the issue then moves into multiple amps etc. I have seen many systems that could do this. The problem then becomes one of the quality of... | |
| Why CD players will never be dead Hi Mrtennis,I totally understand. What I would say is there is a level of digital accomplishment that is far beyond the reference digital of the past & is something that has happened very recently.I have wrestled with the philosophy of whether... | |
| Why CD players will never be dead Hi vhiner,The reason why anyone cares is because this is part of the above discussion. It means nothing to me personally, but I do recognise the audiophile disease in the above posts & I am contributing my experience.Hi Mrtennis,I was under th... | |
| Why CD players will never be dead Mrtennis,The fact that you write "alleged" to describe the benefits seems to show an unwillingness to believe. If I were you I would make it a priority to move to some sort of computer "transport", if not for the "alleged" benefits in sound qualit... | |
| Why CD players will never be dead Mrtennis,I have followed your posts to audioengr. I would be careful here as luckily Hifi has now fallen into the arms of the computer world where all the snake oil is cleaned away. Unless you are finding some kind of lucky euphonic coincidence in... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers Duomike,what kind of damping material did you use for the cylinders? I was thinking of trying the sticky back rubber damping for the cylinders. It is said to be great for damping resonance. Or are you using foam for the back wave?Or is it about both? | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers If I could add to duomike's list of great tweaks, decoupling the screws on the tweeter front plate for a little more naturalness.I made a very very thin slice of Sorbothane, by shaving a footer & placed it on the lugs where the tweeter screws ... | |
| Why CD players will never be dead If we are strictly answering the question, then CD players will never be dead as long as you need a door stop.Along with cassette,mini disk and DAT confined to history. RIP |
