| Amplifier specs, does they matter? Probably the first specification I will look into, is the Watts/channel in 8/4/2 Ohms to validate if power doubles when impedance goes down by half. This will give you a good indication that the amp will not suffer when the speaker impedance varie... | |
| 1 large subwoofer or 2 smaller ones...? I have purchased a few books on audio room acoustics (Sound Reproduction by F. Toole and Master Handbook of Acoustics by Everest and Pohlmann) and both books suggest to have 2 subs in a stereo and HT setup to minimize standing waves. Will also giv... | |
| Dub tribal ambient downtempo music Hi Zolar,Me again. I just listened to some of the artists you suggested and have a few additionnal suggestions for you since you seem to like ambiant electronica with some beat in it (just like me):Lulu Rouge - Bless youLulu Rouge - The Song is in... | |

| Asynchronous USB DAC and USB cable quality I just ordered the Furutech GT2 Pro USB cable from PartsConnexion and should get it next week. I will keep you posted on my listening sessions. My gut feeling is that there will be no changes in audio quality, but will have a better quality build ... | |
| Asynchronous USB DAC and USB cable quality Doggiehowser,Thanks for your reply. Agreed that room acoustics is an oversigth by many audiophiles but already have this covered. Coming back to the USB cable issue, I'm not worried that much by jitter, but stuff like EMI, quality of mechanical co... | |
| Is DSD download already an extinct format? Charles1dad,I agree that some recent CD recordings sound great and could live with their sound quality which is very satisfying (especially jazz records). Also true that newer formats like DSD are promising on paper but could also be somewhat disa... | |
| Is DSD download already an extinct format? Fjn04The problem here is not DSD hardware availability, it's the content. I'm so tired to receive e-mails from HDTracks and Acoustic Sounds wanting me to purchase the same music in a plethora of digital formats. There is a limit in abusing the mus... | |
| What amp sounds most like Krell mcx monoblocks? Zd542,Agreed that Krell build quality is one of the best. However, since they are true Class A amps, the transistors stages are always biased, thus generating heat. It is the heat that eventually kills the capacitors. This is true for all class A ... | |
| What amp sounds most like Krell mcx monoblocks? Duke,If you like the sound of the MCX monoblocks, why would you try something else? I have a pair of MCX 350 and just replaced all caps for about $1,500. They now sound better and produce less heat than when I purchased them used on the Audiogon f... | |
| Bybee Internal Speaker Bullets - user feedback? Lewinskih01,I would start treating the AC inlet of your source components since it will have the greatest impact IMHO. My first Bybee mod was performed on the AC input of my Benchmark DAC 1 and it litterally transformed the unit. Impact was so goo... | |
| Bybee Internal Speaker Bullets - user feedback? Ozzy,The little cake layer inside the ceramic tube is a rare earth composite. Who cares about what is inside a component, as long as it works out well for you. Has anybody argued about the chemical composition of a V-Cap or Duelund capacitor? The ... | |
| Bybee Internal Speaker Bullets - user feedback? Johnk,I do not suffer from confirmation bias. I just tried them out with any preconception and they worked out well for me. The problem on this forum are people who express opinions without being factual. A lot of folks have indicated their positi... | |
| Bybee Internal Speaker Bullets - user feedback? Bojak,Have you installed or evaluated any Bybee product? | |
| Bybee Internal Speaker Bullets - user feedback? I have installed Bybee speaker bullets on my Apogee Duetta Signature speakers and just love them! Since I am using my speakers in bi-wired mode, I bought 2 pairs per speaker. Better resolution on low-level details, increased transparency and lower... |
