| You can't have too many bass traps... I recently treated my room with GIK products. All my panels are called bass traps but they are used for multiple things. I have 3 first reflection point panels. Bass traps on the front wall sitting on the floor and diffusion panels on the back ... | |
| Favorite song to demo or test drive speakers? Fleetwood Mac DreamsDonald Fagen: Tomorrow's GirlsDire Straits: Six Blade KnifeAlso for newer music: Zhu, Post Malone. | |
| Putting weights on speakers? I am trying to adapt this from work. We used electric motors and bolted them to a concrete base. The mass of the base was 3-5X the mass of the motor. The same would hold true for a driver and the enclosure. If the speaker cabinet is vibrating ... | |
| Still no real feedback on Cornwall IV - Any update? I was in a dealership that sells Klipsch and he said everybody buys Paradigm and Tannoy instead. Sometimes you have to question the motivation. However, the cabinets, drivers and crossovers are all new in the Cornwall IV. Volti has some im... | |
| Good Entry-Level DAC Try a Topping D90 from Apos Audio. Price matching and returns are allowed and they double the warranty. I added this to the Bluesound Node 2i and changes were significant. Better resolution and detail. Better bass. Better everything in my cas... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? It is a good thing I can't solder or build cabinets. I would be in a different forum, have a basement full of half done projects and have even less money. | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? Saw several Vandersteen 3A for sale used?? | |
| Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i? I have the Node 2i. I added a Topping D90 and am amazed by the accuracy, sound stage and detail. They now have a D90 with MQA as an option. I also ran a Cat 6 to the 2i and bought a power cord. The 2i interface isn't perfect but I have learned... | |
| Integrated Amp $1200 or less I have the Node 2i. When I added a Topping D90 @ $630 the improvements were not subtle. Better accuracy, sound stage, bass; basically all aspects of my sound were improved. Topping also has a volume control and I plug it directly into my power ... | |
| What could cause this amp to fail? I will never forget when I was listening to a pair of $30K Sonus Faber speakers driven by $35K Mac monoblocks. I being a wood worker was fascinated by the wood work on the speakers. I walked up to them to look at the inlays and veneers. My foot... | |
| I can prove your room is bad I rekindled my hobby. I first of all got it all hooked up. A buzz in the preamp. Got rid of it. Bought a new amp. Plugged my new streamer right into it. Walla! It worked. Then bought new speakers. Oh what a chore to set up. Large Crites ... | |
| In Defense of Audiophiles, Bose, Pass, Toole and Science It is great to have measurements to a certain extent. However some obvious examples of how it is used are all over the place:Pass Labs XA30.8: Spec sheet says 30 watts. Read the measurements and it puts out 6 X as much watts. All of a sudden a... | |
| Great country recording Man, some of this takes me back to my childhood. Sometimes we would listen to The Grand Old Opry over our old console radio. My mom loved Hank Williams, The Masters Family(more gospel), The Carter Family, Charlie Pride, Porter Waggoner, Buck Owe... | |
| 10K system Lots of variables here. I personally use a Bluesound Node 2i streamer($420 refurbished) and a Topping D90($700). The Topping and my music service both have volume control so I don't use a pre amp. I do not have a turntable. That is several thou... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Zhu various songs. Such good sound quality. |
