| My new Borresen X3's The problem with Borresen is exactly what Raidho did when he was with that company..They upgrade or come with with new lines way way too often leaving those who bought their speakers 12 months ago or 24 months ago holding the obsolete bag..In 202... | |
| Coda #8, Pass XA25, or Schiit Tyr to replace PS Audio M700 @sid-hoff-frenchman THE SHRILL IS GONE Well the Tyrs are in place and so far so great. Out of the box the sound stage expanded slightly (hoping for more), the instrument placing and detail improved nicely. The high end shrill disappeared even ... | |
| Power cords: does length matter? Interconnects and speaker cables matter and the power conditioner matters a lot. The power cord just needs to be shielded properly, reject noise and not act as a noisy antenna, which can be achieved through a 100 dollar AliExpress purchase. Length... | |
| 18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers 18” subs are a bad idea. @mijostyn Yes, except when it is sealed and has the servo controlled drivers deployed by Rythmik (it becomes doable). Yes, it is a tad bit of a compromise compared to their 12 inch offerings, etc, but, it could put you... | |
| An ANSWER....of sorts...... Most magic happened because of the room. The human ear prefers to be in certain types of spaces for music listening, to begin with, and they tend to be larger spaces.. But, in most cases, a dude who’ll easily spend 30k on cables (while he sits in ... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords Whether it cost $10 or $1000 "No diffawrance" as the French Chef said about margarine! 🤣 | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k Absolutely, listen to the Mola Mola. It is the most perfect sounding DAC I have had in my system, but not the most musical, IMO, and so I sold mine. Your speaker is not musical. You sold the wrong item. | |
| Coda #8, Pass XA25, or Schiit Tyr to replace PS Audio M700 TYR is incredible. I'd put that Schiit against stuff that costs 10 times or 20 times more. In fact....I already have. TYR should be endgame for most, if you don't care about looks, that is. All hail the genius Schiit lords Jason Sto and Mike Mo. | |
| Audiophile frame of mind Shunyata fluff is no step above the lower priced Audioquest. Try and get some Ansuz cables (the ones Michael Borresen directly had his hands in), if it fits with your wallet. | |
| Passive subwoofer amps help! Use a kill-a-watt meter or something and determine how many watts you are using when pushing the sub. You may be able to get away with a lot less power (than you think you need). | |
| I did the right thing after all. What are your tastes in music? Do you have an eclectic taste in music? If that is true, you may be the type of guy who needs more than one pair of speakers, different types of designs and brands that sound different. Enjoy different sounding thin... | |
| Subwoofer for music only ? @mceljo Perceptively, a single sub is localizable even at 80 hz. Typically, you won't localize anything up to 120ish hz with 2 subs on the front stage. You may not localize anything with 4 subs probably even up to 150ish hz( 2 on front stage, 2 al... | |
| Marantz AV7705 AV Receiver: HDMI out to external DAC Put the Marantz on a high quality power conditioner like the Audioquest Niagara (it can start to equalize things between some purist gear and prepros like the Marantz). Use the marantz for its intended purpose (streamer+DAC+preamp). Use high quali... | |
| Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update and yet the dog keeps barking….. @tomic601 , who were you grunting at and referring to as the barking dog? That would make you the petulant thug/ hog right? If you were referring to someone here as the barking dog? Clarify what you meant. You ... | |
| 18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers After thorough research, I have narrowed down my options to two configurations: 1x Rythmik F18 18-inch subwoofer or 2x Rythmik F12 12-inch subwoofers, with the possibility of expanding to two F18 or four F12s in the future. My primary criteria... |
