| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker From the review: "So, what about that comparison of cables between the Benchmark and Clarity sets? I set up the following components and rotated sets of cables between them: Salk Audio StreamPlayer III, DAC3 DX, AHB2 Amp (two in Mono mode), and Pu... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Read my review of them at Dagogo.com The AHB2 is far superior in Mono mode, no comparison. YMMV Work with the power cord on the Legacy Wavelet; it will make a difference. Also, the quality of the XLR cables used for the bass section will likewise ... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic maxima95, well, it's good that you ask rather than ignore the advice. My understanding is that the double IC can potentially cause instability in the operation of a class D amp, causing it to oscillate and potentially cause damage to it. That is w... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic kalali, you should read up on the Schroeder Method to find out, among other things, that it is a "do at your own risk" technique. It is in the experimental stage in terms of finding out the parameters of its use. It is recommended to use four iden... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic stringreen, I suspect your impressions are changing as you listen to it. | |
| New power cord needed for speaker with powered subwoofer? This should not even be a typical question. The answer is of course the bass will change with an aftermarket power cord. I do this continually with Legacy Audio XTREME XD Subs (reviewed). I wouldn't dream of using the manufacturer supplied dud cor... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Has anyone else lurking in the background done the Schroeder Method connections? I have seen only two mediocre results, and both of those seem to have been associated with headphone amps. I am unsure whether this would play a role in the less than... | |
| Among the Most Formidable "Monitor" Experiences d2girls, thank you for the complement! I have been at this a long time, close to 40 years. Started with my first "system" in grade school and kept going. As you can see, I am unafraid of breaking with convention when it comes to building systems. ... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic stringreen, you're welcome! Glad you are having success with the Schroeder Method. It sounds like another happy user. It is a profound change, imo. I have been very pleased with how it is going in system development. I have not had in instance ye... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic ozzy, I am working with Audio Sensibility to explore Schroeder Method in different permutations, to get a handle on comparative cables, i.e. single vs. Schroeder Method doubled manufactured. Steve at Audio Sensibility can make up the doubled XLR I... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic stringreen, excellent that they are operationally compatible. I'll look forward to more descriptions as you hear them more. I found that dynamics were among the characteristics that benefitted from the Schroeder Method. Systems seem more vivid, pu... | |
| Switching between 2 amps , 1 set of speakers? No switches ever. I avoid at all costs. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Good info; it's always wise to check with manufacturers on such things. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic stringreen, just be sure your equipment is rated to handle an 8 meter run (doubled 4m). If you are explaining this to a manufacturer, expect there may be mockery. I have found a split approx. 50/50 with manufacturers and designers. Some are very c... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Ozzy, excellent! I'm glad you like the effect. You are using what seem to be very inexpensive XLR Y cables. The change with superior Y cables is noticeable, and I am told that the difference between an assembled set with splitters/Y cables and a ... |
