Help needed to eliminate unwanted noise from tweeter @auronthas , I doubt very much that the Aries ll is making the noise, but are you using RCA cables from it to your amp? Does their path cross a power cord or anything metal? If so, try using XLR cables. Is anything plugged into a circuit that ha... | |
Jazz for aficionados Yeah, today was also a Kenny Drew day, with Come Sunrise on the box now. As @jdougs says, “You can never get enough Kenny Drew”. | |

Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! While I do have some Peavey speakers in my workshop, but I really think hifi speakers are designed to reproduce hifi sounds and PA speakers are designed to project sound, if that makes sense? All the best. | |
DAC upgrade I have had the Denifrips Pontus ll for a couple of years and am still very happy with it. The newest model, the 12 Anniversary is well within your price range. All the best. | |
Jazz for aficionados I’m listening to Presenting The Kenny Drew Trio. Doing it on Amazon so it’s one long play.44-45 tracks and it still keeps me smiling even after listening to it many many times! And if I haven’t said it yet, Happy New Year All. | |
SnubWay Question Thread Great video. I’m not sure about the $295, but I’d definitely be interested in the two week trial. The only device I have with a switch mode power supply is my CD transport , but I’m sure the power company isn’t doing me any favors. | |
Ripping CDs You can buy a dedicated CD copier, but they are expensive. If you buy a streamer that rips CD’s as well, that will be expensive. Getting a used computer somewhere would probably be your best bet. | |
Is toeing speakers a bad idea? Almost all speakers radiate out at an angle that should hit your listening position. A little toe in can be good, but to much can shrink the sound stage. All the best. | |
Tune of the Day Billy Joel, Stiletto. | |
Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice Look at JBL speakers, they have something for everyone and something in every price range. All the best. | |
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz I’m using Amazon. It is only music as far as I can tell and it has I don’t know how many high res albums, but it seems most of what I listen to is high res. I listen to mostly Jazz and I have never not found an album on Amazon that also wasn’t o... | |
Indispensable Tool! @nonoise Is that Irrational disk fo real? Or do I need more coffee this morning? | |
High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? @calvinj As I’m sitting here reading all this, my mind wondered to room treatments. Have you measured out the first reflection points on your front wall and ceiling? I to have a doorway next to a speaker and it noticeably messes up the sound, ... | |
Tune of the Day Awesome tune! |
