| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Sure, no problem at all! Thank you in advance! | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @prof: Your last post made me re-read, admittedly skipping a bit of content every now and then, the whole thread again! I did and still do enjoy your posts a lot and I find them very informative not only because of the excellent insight they provi... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? Hi everybody! I'm also contemplating high passing (some of) my speakers. Regarding the capacitor advice of @erik_squires: would it be possible to add it directly before the speakers? Of course, a different value would be needed. Sorry if this is s... | |
| Spendor speaker question …… Have you read these threads (not just the linked post)? https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/thoughts-and-experiences-on-the-spendor-sp100-r2/post?postid=2187018#2187018 https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/warm-romantic-detailed/post?postid... | |
| my shortlist for integrated Harbethsuper hl5 plus xd - please advise "there's much more than specs" I meant. | |
| my shortlist for integrated Harbethsuper hl5 plus xd - please advise "...or is it more than just specs to this?" @audiocanada : Yes, I'm afraid that, in spite of what Mr. Alan Shaw is claiming, there's much than specs to this. You will not find two different amplifiers that sound identical, regardless of their spe... | |
| SEEKING AN AMPLIFIER THAT MATES WELL WITH MARTIN LOGAN 11 A IMPRESSIONS I own the same speakers, driven by an Accuphase E470 integrated (a good match IMO), and the sound I'm experimenting is definitely not anemic either, despite the fact that Accuphase is not a brand renowned for stunning dynamics. So: 1. I have the ... | |
| Best way to A/B two different streamers I wouldn't use a switch for several reasons: 1. I keep noticing that the differences between sources and between cables tend to be quite subtle sometimes, albeit still very important. Quick A-B-ing is not the best way to reveal them IME. 2. The ... | |
| Upgrade Spendor A4 to D7.2? @wqgq_641 - You're welcome! | |
| Upgrade Spendor A4 to D7.2? Drums and bass: Vital Techtones - Drums Stop No Good. Also you could find Dead Can Dance - Yulunga (from the album Into the Labyrinth) interesting (with deep tympani, maracas etc.). Piano other than Jarrett: a lot of options, really. For example;... | |
| OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!. Well, we all know room matters a lot, don't we? Yet, exactly how much was unknown to me in spite of hundreds if not thousands of hours of tinkering with it. This is perhaps the greatest audio discovery I've made during the past few years. You ... | |
| Integrated amp recommendation A few years ago I have listened to a pair of Piega (very) slim floorstanders, the cheapest model I think, sporting a pair of 4 inch midbass drivers per speaker. Driven by a Jadis Orchestra tube integrated, they produced a spectacular (for the pric... | |
| Inexpensive but good sounding power supply (and hard drive) for PC audio? @mastering92 Thank you for your advice. I would be very surprised to discover the power supply of my PC didn't matter for the sound. The power cord feeding the PC certainly did make a difference. And, counterintuitively, it made a difference e... | |
| Inexpensive but good sounding power supply (and hard drive) for PC audio? Thank you. Offtopic: Strange how different various pieces of software actually do impact the sound even when the data is "bit-perfect". I compared the Accuphase Asio driver to Wasapi Exclusive while doing Qobuz streaming and Wasapi was better! | |
| Ideal USB cable length, streamer to DAC? Common wisdom is that shorter is better (for USB cables, at least). My experience is quite opposite. I have directly compared, at length, in my system, 1m against 2m: - Supra cable: the 2m one had stronger and more authoritative bass, more drive... |
