| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks, all.The Aurios Bearings look interesting and they are about the same price as the GAIA II. Would not spend $1200 on feet but might try the Aurios. The Starsound items look interesting but their descriptive text strikes me as indirect at be... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts david_ten:You mean the larger GAIA Is that go for $1200 for 8? Seems like overkill as they support speakers up to 220 lbs and my DIs are only 118. The GAIA III only seem to go up to 70 lbs while the GAIA II are rated at 120. Did you notice a diffe... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Have any of the DI owners used or upgraded to the GAIA II loudspeaker feet? These are a bit more expensive than the Herbies Threaded Stud Gliders I am currently using, but appear to be more substantial and refined in their design. The Herbies cost... | |
| Emotiva XPA5 Gen 1 Have the XPA-5 Gen 2 amp and have been using it for 3 years; it is excellent. You can switch from 5 to 2 channels with a pre (use the XMC-1 myself) and it makes going from movies to music effortless.If you mainly/only listen to music I would recom... | |
| Why is Oppo stopping products. Just got a new Honda SUV and they no longer offer CD players in their cars. They do offer a "Premium Infotainment System" that includes an audio option. You can plugin your own files in through a flash drive and it will play some high-res formats ... | |
| First Foray into XLR +1 http://ielogical.com/Audio/CableSnakeOil.php Very clear and incisive, ieales. BTW, most of the better Emotiva equipment is completely balanced internally and you can easily hear the difference/improvement between XLR and RCA cables when connect... | |

| recommended sub-woofers for tekton double impacts? Check out the Tekton thread by Corelli; you will find many specific sub combos and owner evaluations.Also, be aware that a number of us DI owners find there is no need at all for subs. Suggest you check the response out with your room when they ar... | |
| First Foray into XLR Use Mogami, Canare, and Belden cables in my small studio and all are quality XLRs. Prefer Belden for audiophile interconnects as it sounds brighter and more transparent. Mogami will suffice as well.Again, if you visit Blue Jeans Cable you can read... | |
| First Foray into XLR Belden 1800f from Blue Jeans Cable. Check out their site and their cable information. Many pro studios use this combo because of its quality and price. | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense phomchick:Thanks; this is very clear and, as you certainly know, a very powerful way to tune your room. | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense phomchick:Haven't used the REW/JRiver combo since I upgraded to the 64 bit version. Do you mean that REW will do an automatic dump of the EQ value (after you make the corrections) directly into JRiver? In the past have had to insert these by hand ... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense +1 playmoreTo me, the central issue coming out of this thread is the process of improving your system versus getting ripped off. All has become more difficult as audio transactions become "over the Internet" as opposed to selecting/auditing from a... | |
| SACD +1 elizabethHave been following your lead for over a year and find the CD approach, when up sampled with SoX in JRiver, provides an audio result fully equivalent to SACDs.BTW, some SACDs are notable, especially the Grammy award winning Dire Strait... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense Went for the upgrade that, supposedly, was recommended/designed by Terry London. Can't compare the two because have not heard your version. Suspect most of the speaker's quality is the result of the 7-tweeter array that shares mid-range and treble... |
