| Low-pass + high-pass? In my experience with my speakers, both ESL and dynamic, there was a benefit to not running the mains full range and using a high pass filter to just send 100 Hz and above to the mains. As you know, I use an active crossover 100 Hz, 4th order, 24 ... | |
| Roon - streaming only...where'd you get your NAS? I use a Synology NAS which I bought on Amazon. I have a Mac Mini that I used to rip my very small collection of CDs to FLAC and then loaded it on my NAS (about 1 TB). Sometimes I download music, never used Tidal or any other streaming service. I a... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC The OP's DAC has AT&T, AES/EBU, SPDIF, and Toslink inputs. So he needs a streamer that has one or more of those types of outputs. It is worth noting the DAC chip is the PCM-63 multi-bit chip, one of the best chips ever made, and the DAC has 4 ... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. @thewatcher101, how do you like your Resonessence Mirus DAC? Ironically Resonessence shared a room with Audiokinesis at the Long Beach Audio Show where Duke from Audiokinesis was showing off his new two-way hybrid horns and Swarm array. Also ironi... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. 16 x 30 is the room size. I prefer sealed subs, but the Audiokinesis Swarm was designed as ported, with the option to seal the port with a plug. The set up used by the designer has the woofers facing the wall as jtcf mentioned. When I used a Swarm... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. Have you tried a more asymmetrical positioning with the two extra subs. IOW place a couple behind your speakers along the front wall, then the other two should be place along the side walls, but not symmetrical, stagger them. I have also seen arra... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. @mijostyn, what engine rebuild, lol, 208k miles (112k with me) and not even a recommendation of a valve job on the horizon (has had a transmission rebuild though). The clear coat is flaking off the trunk lid due to some foreign substance that drip... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. @mijostyn, point well taken. Other than the Turbo tie rods and the Bilstein cartridges inside the Boge struts in the back, the car is stock and I intend to keep it that way. I've owned the car for 1/3 of its life. It's not a looker and has over 20... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. @mcreyn, yeah Tim was interesting at first, but now it's gotten pretty old. I am a fan of Duke LeJeune's speakers having owned the Jazz Modules before finding ESL nirvana. So when he developed his Swarm I had always intended to give it a go, until... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. @mcreyn, wow really good post. I'm actually restoring my '84 911 and was thinking of adding a car stereo system, but always wondered if I could ever get something that would sound close to what I get in my home system. I have to admit I am a bit o... | |
| OTL amps, my pick for the tube used. @bobheinatz, here is what I can say at the moment. The design is past the prototype stage and a few pilot amps will be built for listening tests.These will be monoblocks with moderate power and so far have been tested on a pair of Quad 63 with gre... | |
| OTL amps, my pick for the tube used. I’ve always been interested in these which use the 6C33C but at $22k/pair they are out of my ballpark:http://www.atma-sphere.com/Products/#Novacronhttp:// | |
| OTL amps, my pick for the tube used. Those who are fans of the Futterman H3aa should keep an eye out for a new OTL designed and built by Roger Modjeski that uses the 26DQ5 which is also a sweep tube designed for very high peak currents. If I remember correctly Roger mentioned the 26D... | |
| Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready? There is another thread I have been following where someone posted information about Matrix Audio Element X. I checked it out and it both the Element X and Element M look interesting. I use an Auralic Aries LE today going into my DAC but would lik... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @dep14, thanks for the heads up on the Element X. I see they also have the Element M as well. I'll be looking at these a bit more closely based on what I have read so far. |
