Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr
So am i correct, they will be on the 12’ wall, not the 9’Try the speakers on either wall and see what you prefer. A lot will depend on what speakers you end up with. Dipoles like Maggies will need more space behind them. The JansZen maybe not so m... 
Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr
I currently own Quad ESL 57, Acoustat Model 2 (modified and used with the Acoustat Direct Drive amps), and just picked up a pair of Analysis Audio Epsilon (planar ribbon). There is no substitute for the mid-range in the 57 in my opinion. The Acous... 
Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner
Not sure why the information differs on both sites but I would just email them. They are very responsive to inquiries. 
Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner
Says here it is in stock: https://degritter.com/product/degritter-rcm/I just picked one up. They had a few blemished units offered at a discount on the site so I grabbed one of those. I have been using it for a couple weeks. It works quite well in... 
KLAudio is stopping production of their Ultrasonic record cleaner.
I like my Degritter. Have had it for a couple weeks now. I pulled the trigger when they had a few blemished units for sale at a discount. When I got my machine I really couldn’t see anything wrong with it and it works just fine.Too bad about KL Au... 
Any place in NYC to have LP ultrasonic cleaned? Will it help?
How many records total are we talking about? 
Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution
There is more than one way to implement a multi-sub system. For a long time the idea of using any sub in my system wasn't an option. Didn't see the need for them and systems I heard that had a sub(s) in them were not to my liking. The idea of the ... 
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...
