| Ethernet cables @audphile1 ...but I tried enough to know they’re different. I recommend you try and hear it for yourself. Will do. Might as well, and its low cost enough too. What’s funny is I’ve completely gone up/down the stack, multiple times, and all other... | |
| Ethernet cables Resurrecting a 1yr old thread. "Ethernet Cables". ----- Ask: Are you folks still of the belief a better ethernet cable truly helps the sound of Zeros (0s) and Ones (1s)? And, if so why? Any new updates to share as to what you are you hearing, c... | |
| Cary SLP 98 vs Benchmark LA4 To @billpete are you looking for Silver or. Black, and the older model with softer and more rounded edges on the knobs or the newer units with the sharp edges on the knobs and volume control? Look at the images to see what I'm referring to. Some... | |
| Cary SLP 98 vs Benchmark LA4 @billpete I believe Cary is going to stop production of the SLP 98, this year. I have been watching used pieces mostly. I had not heard about the audition clause and warranty loss but it may well be. I'd been looking at a used one and a 30 day re... | |
| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound Splitting hairs and depending on your definition of what a 3-way is, or 2.5 way with internal passive radiators, or the GoldenEar 3 is a 3-way and passives. https://www.goldenear.com/full-range-tower-speakers/triton-series/triton-three-plus ... | |
| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound Sorry for the historical sidebar posts, :), Back to reality, and for OP @sputz - here is another 3-way AMT https://www.wharfedaleusa.com/collections/elysian/products/elysian-2-bookshelf-speakers Elysian 2 ------- Treble: ... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS re: "preference" vs studying technical specs of components to decide. Here is an artificial intelligence response to a related query. Love it, hate it, or debate it - enjoy. I posted this since five of my audio friends prefer different audio syste... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS "@mattw73 I didn’t mean for my current thoughts of straight wire with a gain to come off like a negative." Your thoughts and experiments are what matters most. It all comes down to your preference. Never apologize to anyone about what you h... | |
| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound Back to the OP, hahah, @sputz asked for some 3-ways. These are somewhat unobtanium. Transar ATDs. Posting just for fun. How’s it work, don’t ask...LOL. Bouncing flying-saucers for midrange. Big sub too. Another I found on the net posted by... | |
| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound @avsjerry I’ve an older dbx 2way, a more current Behringer 2496 w/sub out, and an ESS Eclipse 2241AM which seems to be a rare bird item.... Electronics Crossovers: Why not test and try the 2241AM. I have one of those too :), but don’t use i... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS "@mattw73 Straight wire with gain approach doesn’t interest me as much these days." Agree. A good DAC and good preamp can sure help bring out the sound. Not sure why some folks believe no preamp or a minimalist dac is better sounding. Tried ... | |
| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound To @asvjerry trying again, the last shared photo link did not work. Deleted that post. Trying again, sometimes Google Photos is tricky and fails to present images on Agon. Some inspiration for your upgrade journey, its worth trying :). If you don... | |
| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound @sputz do you still have your 3-way AMT3s? Or, what did you have, read on if yes. ----- If you still have them and update the crossovers by simply replacing the existing parts, and selecting more sensitive/rigid and responsive woofers and midran... | |
| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound @toddalin I hope people realize that if one wants to build their own, on occasion ESS sells a pair of the Heils with all the mounting hardware and rubber gaskets for $250/pair brand new on their web site. Right now they are priced back at $250... | |
| 12au7 tube? @curiousjim ...A couple of weeks later I read an article saying that PSVANE had put out a batch of 12au7 Art series tubes that were bad. Again I sent emails mentioning the article to PSV and Viva and still they won’t budge! So that’s why I will n... |
