| Articles You Feel Should be Shared Interesting article cd13, bit surprised when I saw it was 40 years old. | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? OK thanks, I never listen that loud anymore the last time I blew a speaker had to be 1974. | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? @almarg So the tweeter getting to hot from excess energy would cause failure? If occasional mild clipping wouldn't cause any damage, how easily would it be to detect mild clipping in LF leaking into the HF area of the tweeter? Could this type of... | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? When the amp clips the current doesn't alternate but behaves like DC which the capacitor in the crossover will pass, especially bad for tweeters. | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? @nakam Yes you can mess up the tweeter if you drive the amp to clipping. The recommended amp range is an estimate the speaker company uses as a guide for consumers as long as you don't push the amp which means listening for clipping even in modera... | |
| Lumin T2 with Anthem STR preamp signal going through both DACs? The Lumin uses an ESS chip the Anthem an AKM chip, both devices measure very well. I would be surprised if you could tell which was which in a blind test. I couldn’t which is why I sold my DAC and use the one in the STR. If you don’t want to use A... | |
| Implementing a Roon Core Server--Success & Comments You don’t need 512GB M.2 SSD I used 256 it was the smallest I could find at the time.

I got a fanless case haven’t had any problems so far, been running it 24/7 for a few months. Something like this would work for a basic config it might do some DSP, you just nee... | |
| SMSL 98E killed my setup? If you didn't change the gain setting on the atom the impedance mismatch from the smsl might have fried the atom and the scarlet if it was plugged into the atom. | |
| Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other Just like other non-audiophiles, most musicians don’t expect LP’s, CD’s, tapes, and streamed music to sound anywhere close to that of live music.I'm content being a non-audiophile I never expect recorded music to sound like live events only what w... | |
| Implementing a Roon Core Server--Success & Comments ROCK is Roons linux OS you can't use any other OS on the NUC. If you aren't doing DSP and your library isn't huge an i3 works fine. Here is Roons recommended products. https://kb.roonlabs.com/Roon_Optimized_Core_Kit | |
| Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other Oh well, wouldn't want to intrude on your nice neat world view. | |
| Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other completely understand your reluctance to allow actual listening to intrude on your nice neat world view. it does require a bit of effort.I'm nowhere near Seattle but I would be more than happy to listen in a controlled blind test and see the prefe... |
