| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? Good idea davekaycKeep all options on the table!!The JL E-112 subs have a fair amount of built in tuning so hopefully this proves helpful; Since I am nuts about this stuff, I am going to grab our nice Oscilloscope from work and my omni mics (or us... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? @erik_squires thanks good info;I agree the using a pre-out (or active crossover) the preferred way and so does JL audio, but in my case I am running my XLR only DAC directly into my Amp; I will need to play around in the speaker level input regime... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? @erik_squires Can you detail this thought please:"Speaker level inputs are subject to the amp/speaker impedance matching"My amp's Zout is much less than an ohm (according to Luxman the damping factor is around 700); The Zin of the powered sub, acc... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? pretty solid article on sub integration. https://jlaudio.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205061040-Adding-a-Home-Audio-Subwoofer I am preparing to integrate a pair of JL E112 subs in my system...showing up in a few days...I will first try high lev... | |
| Integrated under $2000 for Focal Aria 926s If you can find one a Marantz PM14 s1; great integrated; powerful and refined; can’t go wrong | |
| ESOTERIC N-01 Replacement For My PS Audio BHK Preamp & Directstream Dac with Brige ll @blumartini you really should try to demo an MSB Discrete dac; with the Ethernet renderer module and second power supply you have a Roon compliant endpoint that also functions superbly as a preamp; I recently completed an extensive A/B with my Lux... | |
| Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers? Pass XA 30.5; such a music maker!@avanti1960 My dad had a white 1963 Studebaker Avanti, R2 with red interior from 1979 to 2012. I should have kept that one. I helped him put a solid state ignition in it and was with him when he rechromed all the p... | |
| Looking for the Best Integrated High Current Amplifier 250-300 WPC I personally found very poor synergy with my Focal Sopra No 2’s and a Luxman M-900U; Bass energy was flat and anemic; tried lot’s of things; It’s not my room acoustics; The same amp on Dynaudio Contour 60’s flat out destroyed the Sopra’s in the ba... | |
| $30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous? 1.) Sell your PS Audio BHK; (+~3500 in your pocket)2.) Get an MSB Discrete DAC with USB module and extra power supply (~12K)3.) Keep your Kanta 3;4.) EnjoyI owned a PS Audio BHK for a bit; Tube rolled, etc...ultimately did not last too long in my ... | |
| Luxman L-509X Ok, well best of luck to both buyers and sellers at those price points. | |
| Luxman L-509X @riaa... In what used marketplace do you find Luxman 900 gear for 8k? In what condition might they be, as well. Thx | |
| Vinyl / Digital / and can you have too much information. Give a listen to modern MSB R2R dacs and you might find that digital can sound natural and real; Sure surprised me. The engineers designed these dacs with a laser focus on technical accuracy (ie measures superbly) and the sonic results that follow... | |
| I have to downsize big time, any ideas on integrated amps and smaller 3 way speakers Sean so sorry to hear of this. We will keep you in our prayers!RE the audio stuff; I can’t recommend the Luxman 509X highly enough. It has tons of power, is relatively lightweight (65 pounds), is beautifully made, runs cool (don’t stuff inside a c... | |
| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? @geoffkait in systems where the floor substrate is ~6" concrete slab the vibrations from the speakers through the slab and over to the equipment rack (10+ feet away) are likely much less than the acoustic vibrations impinging on the same equipment... | |
| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? @mikelavigne I think you are right; The sharp points eventually just burrow into the concrete; I can sometimes turn the threads just enough to give that rock solid foundation, but it does not last.Something like the IsoAcoustic carpet spike thing ... |
