| Weakest digital link: DAC - Streamer - Server? How can any review of a piece of audio equipment not comment on the "sound" of the component at all? The reviews do have a subjective listening session on speakers. It's not to everyone's liking but it should be taken as any other subjective op... | |
| Weakest digital link: DAC - Streamer - Server? I worry about the speakers and the room, not the digital components. Those are the two that will affect what your hear more than digital cables and such. As long as we are talking about competent design I think what a lot don’t seem to grasp is... | |
| Noisy ethernet cables If the cable that came with the Node isn't noisy why not use it? Probably shielded 5e cable. | |
| Down To The Crunch I've heard the Genelec 8351b if you like Genelec they are close the D&D the Genelec is bit more detailed the Dutch a tad more bass. I would listen to the 8361a Genelec if you get a chance. Never got a chance to hear the Kii . | |
| Passive vs Active...Again! Eric's audio corner also reviewed the Dutch and Dutch 8c. Dutch and Dutch 8c | |
| If a " system " cannot do this, I move on........ Have you ever considered some of the large JBL horns? The M2 or the home version 4367? Perhaps some of the screen arrays 4722's? Or Everest series. | |
| Passive vs Active...Again! For easy to use room correction, ARC in the Anthem and Dirac in NAD (other brands too) | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? I thought GM used 305' cu in , Ford the 302. I had a 68 SS 396 Camaro. | |
| Weakest digital link: DAC - Streamer - Server? I'll stick to answering your question. guess my next question is, WHICH streamer/DAC, under $2K, would do the job best playing files off my NAS PLUS having Tidal/Spotify Connect? Cambridge Audio CXN v2, there are others more expensive. | |
| Passive vs Active...Again! speaking on unattractive, did you audition the Devialets when you were on the hunt for actives? No, I ended up with Dutch and Dutch 8c. They look pretty nice in natural oak with black front. They finally received Roon Ready just waiting for f... | |
| The Big Misconception About Electricity I was sceptical of multiverse theory until now. https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2013/12/how-em-the-twilight-zone-em-predicted-our-paranoid-present/282700/ | |
| The Big Misconception About Electricity How does this Electric Universe idea account for nuclear weapons anyhow? Shouldn't we be shooting huge electric beams or something? | |
| The Big Misconception About Electricity And the Electric Universe is just idiotic. | |
| Passive vs Active...Again! You haven’t mentioned price but in my opinion Dutch and Dutch 8c or Kii3 are probably your best bet for getting great sound with minimal room treatments if any in active speakers. The Dutch and Dutch can be placed within 10 centimeters of the fron... | |
