| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? Having a custom listening room is next level audiophile. I always thought I had a pretty good system, but until I had a custom room, I didn't realize how far from "good" it was. There is no substitute. | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Maybe the problem is not a math problem and that is the difficulty. Maybe it is as simple as realizing that because you are applying a decision based algorithm, something math is poor at representing, that a "solution" simply does not exist in the... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @snapsc, would that not be easier to accomplish with DSP? | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @atmasphere Is there a reference for the -105db? That sounds excessive. Do you mean at a single frequency or all frequencies (I assume 10KHz and under?). I see an often quoted limit of 0.1% as being the absolute lowest than can be detected, and ... | |
| Can a DAC sort out a flat\cold amp? +1 @crustycoot. Some audiophile don't want to accept that flat frequency response and low distortion can only have one result as long as the output resistance is not high. | |
| High current power cables @clearthinker it would be impossible to confused your intelligent reasoned posts with the self indulgent ignorant drive-by insults of the poster who shares a similar name. Don't worry, they appear to work on a lunar cycle and should go dark shortl... | |
| How Electricity Actually Works Come on guys, I read some of that Crump stuff. The best word I can come up with is lunacy. If you are experiencing: "Interconnects or speaker wires that have pianos wandering all over the stage normally have their signal and return going in the ... | |
| Can a DAC sort out a flat\cold amp? The room will be a mess, but I don't think the speakers in that location nor even the reflective surface are going to result in too little bass. I would expect boomy bass from the near corner placement. Something is broken. One of the speaker pol... | |
| High current power cables Now @clearthink , in another thread I said I was not an acoustics expert, which I am not, but I said my physics are above average. Significantly above average would be more correct. Now I will ask kindly that you stop the drive by insults that ar... | |
| Lose weight or buy better fitting pants @clearthink Now while I may not be an expert in acoustics, my physics is above average and sound does not behave any different in audio than any other pursuit. Boundary issues would be a factor of wavelength and distance to the walls. Whether y... | |
| Can a DAC sort out a flat\cold amp? Not to insult the OP @orenm145, but are you 100% sure that both speakers are the same phase? It sounds like your woofers are out of phase. What you describe is not an amp unless it is broken. I would swap the wires from + / - on one set of speake... | |
| Lose weight or buy better fitting pants I would think that large speakers would work just fine in a small room. Turn down the volume. Small speakers would not work in a large room as you would get distortion before reaching the volume you desire. | |
| High current power cables @kijanki that is a good point. I am normally dealing on much smaller scales, so don't naturally think of these things. From a pure extracted parasitics view, spacing out the conductors will cause the inductance to go up which will soften power pea... | |
| Replacing cork platter mat with acrylic mat I am with ghdprentince on this. Does not take much to change the frequency response. If one is thinner, take a record you hate and put it underneath the mat. See if they sound closer. | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? @cleeds I am still waiting for your answer to why you are attacking a hobbyist on a hobby forum for calling out a supplier making a post on a hobby forum that included dubious claims. You are doing this to the detriment and misdirection of this ... |
