| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? So now for the stupid question, We isolate the speakers, the DAC and so forth. Music is still vibrating the box, the parts, the speaker jacks, the everything. Does this also affect the sound? Why would it be different? PS Everyone, almost, li... | |
| Rank the tweaks, geeks! I have a tube buffer passive preamp and upgraded to Mundorf oil caps. Really like the sound.Amp, preamp, streamer, DAC all have twisted pair power cords. Ethernet cable to streamerMeticulous speaker placement.Next up is isolation. I can't affor... | |
| A full range speaker? This thread made me look at specs. Many speakers really do well down to 40Hz. I wonder if people overlook the -6dB tucked away in the specs of many speakers and subs. Big boxes make bass easily. But wait, we want a speaker that is full range. ... | |
| Best Preamp and Amp combination, interesting finding!!! I have enjoyed reading this post that was deemed irrelevant by some. The debate goes on... | |
| A full range speaker? I want to go to my first trade show. I want to hear this to believe it. I have been under the opinion to not even try FR. Some of the full rangers have separate cabinets. Maybe you can spend enough. My subs go to 30. I can hear 20 Hz test ton... | |
| What are the current useless terms in this "audio world" Punches way above their price point. Sounds better than ______ costing 4 to 5 times more. | |
| Vintage vs New When I was figuring out what to buy, I looked at used Klipsch. Afterall, some models have been around since the 40s. Lots of fans. A couple vendors popped up who specialize in new parts. By the time I would have updated Heresy or Cornwall, I could... | |
| Great Recordings, Sonically Speaking - and Why. I do like Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac "Rumours", Donald Fagan. I feel these are very well produced and good sounding, however, they can sound a little too "dead"; not enough hall ambience. The first Dire Straits album is well done, i.e Six Blade ... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: @bdp24. I appreciate your vast knowledge of music/bands. A previous thread you contributed to caused me to listen to Buddy Miller, rhonda Vincent and many Others. Marty Stuart is a very good band. Recently listened to early Joni Mitchell. Grea... | |
| What is the #1 equipment want currently on your HiFi horizon??? Herbies gliders or corner bass traps. | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? Class A amps are appealing, less heat, lots of watts, good specs. Will they drive difficult loads? We buy speakers that require the current and then see the price of an A or AB. I'll keep my XA25 and efficient speakers. House not heated up and... | |
| New Topping D90SE DAC People on here like R2R and/or tubes. I bought a D90 some time ago. It is detaled, clear, dynamic. The SE has beefed up parts with Sabre instead of AKM. One of these days, i might have to try a Denafrips, Audio Mirror or something but not into... | |
| Best dac under $2500 - comparing build quality and technologies Wondering how the AKM factory will affect DAC design. I see Topping already had to discontinue D90 and redesign with with ESS 9038 PRO. I like my D90. Detailed, nice soundstaging, etc. | |
| Do I NEVER shut it off…? Pass Xa25. Nelson says leave it on for an hour. I have left it on for a week to experiment. There is better space and transients. Not worth the electricity. Fyi. Warm but not hot after that. I turn off the tube preamp because i am under the... | |
| What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks It is whatever your perception of how a recording should be done to a certain extent. Vocals, guitar, violins and whatever people can think of are "hard to record". Long term familiarity with your system will sort out the good ones. I hear song... |
