| Subwoofer use with 2CH and HT use @thegreenline, get a MiniDSP Umik-2 or Umik-1 sound pressure mic. REW knows these mics and supports their calibration curves. 40Hz is kind of high and at what level. | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy At this time to better the sound of MM, MI, and MC one needs to consider optical (DS Audio) and the available equalizers. Vinyl appears to be maxed out technically and I wonder if manufacturers see that when considering product development. | |
| Meitner MA3i DAC Review I am not using any special network hardware or cable with my MA3i NET input. I had an audiophile switch, clock, and power supply but sold it when I acquired a MA3 as they made no difference. Try an experiment with this. Try the MA3i output direc... | |
| Hearing aids for audiophiles or musicians? I purchased from Costco Canada in early 2023 Rexton brand ITE, in the ear, hearing aids. They are controlled via bluetooth and the mobile app supports a music mode. I always use the HAs for music and currently cut the treble and volume from defa... | |
| Ultrasonic Cleaning Machine If your ultrasonic cleaner does not dry the record (mine does not) look for a used Nitty Gritty to dry the record. | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp I suggest the Meitner MA3i, a streamer/DAC/volume control in one box. $11,500 USD, so money left in your budget. | |
| Emm labs DAC2x v2 or Meitner MA3i or ? @Rays19, the Dac2x v2 is from 2017 and the MA3i was released in late 2024. The MA3i incorporates about eight years of circuit and programming ideas. I think the conclusion the two products sound the same is flawed as I have a MA3i and had a MA1 wi... | |
| Emm labs DAC2x v2 or Meitner MA3i or ? The MA3i will have the latest circuit ideas from EMM/Meitner. That should be significant. | |
| Mounting cartridge in Eminent Technology ET-2 tonearm Azimuth will affect channel balance. To adjust precisely I use a test track, 1kHz sine L+R, and an oscilloscope to adjust azimuth for equal channel output. The test track is side1 track1 of Analogue Productions "The Ultimate Analogue testLP". | |
| Class d amplification I have the Atma-Sphere Class D driving Quad ESL 63s for four months. These speakers are revealing and I can listen all day to decent source with no fatigue. | |
| Subwoofers and electrostatic speakers @drbond, you should try an HPF and determine if it is acceptable. The key with subwoofer optimization is MSO. I works regardless of the room parameters. | |
| Subwoofers and electrostatic speakers @drbond I suggest you take the next step with subwoofer integration with mains and use a miniDSP UMIK-2 microphone, software REW and MSO, and a miniDSP 2x4 HD to achieve equalized and more uniform around the room bass response. The mains signal ... | |
| new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today I should clarify, I sold the NS1. | |
| new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today I had DAC2X + NS1 and now have a MA3. Since the DAC2X was designed there are years of development in the MA3. MA3 sounds better. For a while I used the NS1 with the MA3 and could not hear an advantage to the streamer in the MA3. | |
| Hearing Aids in 2023 .. Questions I purchased in 2023 Rexton bi-core ITE (in the ear), rechargeable, hearing aids from Costco, Canada. $3400 CAD a pair. These are a custom mold acrylic shell. I use two programs and switch and configure them with the Rexton iPhone app. One program ... |
