Turned Off My Subwoofer ... And My Speakers Sound Great @rlb61 how did you integrate the JL sub with your system? line level or speaker level?i have a JL E112 and found that by using a Jensen transformer to convert my amp speaker level output to line level that feeds the rca inputs, the most seamless i... | |
What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? @adam8179 So lighting strikes caused surges on your local power grid, enough to cause at least one fuse to blow right? Yikes. Sorry to hear; I do wonder if it’s possible that other components were stressed in your amp, or other gear, and that migh... | |
Bricasti M3 In the house @mrkoven i have run the m3 direct to both a luxman m900u and pass labs x350.8; it’s quite good. The only Linestage preamp I have on hand is the exceptional Luxman c900u; When I have the c900 in the chain ( setting the m3 to ‘0’ puts the volume ctr... | |
Bricasti M3 In the house @rja minimum phase is default; I used the remote and selected status and scrolled through menu on the display until it read minimum then used the up arrow to select linear. I have not tried to change filter with out remote. | |
Is Roon Nucleus the best choice for Roon Core and as server? I built a Roon Rock server referenced to the top spec Roon details on their webpage;Intel i7 8th Gen NUC16GB DDR RAM256GB SSD for the free "ROCK" OS1TB SSD for content;Cost about $750 all in; It's my understanding the above build is identical (sav... | |
Focal sopra 2/Gryphon Diablo 300 not good match D2girls; my confidence 30 and 50 measure very flat; Dynaudio designed these in their mega expensive Jupiter Lab; they are like a precision instrument that does not emphasize any particular frequency, so I’ll have to disagree with you; Some speaker... | |
Focal sopra 2/Gryphon Diablo 300 not good match @joannism For what it’s worth I attempted toe-in (and moving to other area of house to try in different acoustic environment) and nothing would shake the intensity in the upper midrange/ lower treble (aka "presence region"); I did not put thin cot... | |
Focal sopra 2/Gryphon Diablo 300 not good match Major bummer;I had Sopra No 2 and experienced same;Used relaxing yet detailed electronics to drive them; Luxman M900 amp/ C900 pre; neutral cables;PS Audio DSD Dac;damped room ( not bright);They sounded awesome on about 3 songs; rest of time I was... | |
Bricasti M3 In the house @sfseay that's great it was so easy! Mine came with the MDX hardware so it's the only starting point I have experience with; The dealer stated M3 with the MDX digital board surpassed the M1 w/o the MDX; Now maybe someday I might try the latest M1,... | |
Bricasti M3 In the house I few weeks ago I switched from the minimum phase filter to linear phase; It definitely did something; hard to describe but on most material I prefer the linear phase; overall just presents as slightly more organic and pure, the diff of which is m... | |
Audio Research REF 3 worth buying today? The Audio Research Ref 3 will always be a serious preamp; Very good analog never goes out of style. Cheers! | |
Why does a Music Server require high processing CPU power? @jbhiller absolutely! Roon ROCK has been incredible. 100% stable no variation in SQ, no performance issues, lagless UI experience; best of all, the SQ is crystalline pure. I now never use the MConnect/UPnP option on my ethernet DAC; Roon is fantas... | |
Good Stereo Speakers for outside use during BBQs, evening pot luck dinners etc Sonos Play 5; plugged into deck AC receptacle. Connected to WiFi; Roon Endpoint. Surprisingly full and clear sound. Ended my quest to do exactly what you want to do. When done just bring back inside. | |
Rogue Sphinx or Belles Aria??? This Belles Aria looks like a great match for Spendor S3e (had these since 2009) or new Spendor A1 I just picked up; goal is a beautiful sounding system for jazz, acoustic bluegrass, vocals and such. Was thinking Cary sli80, Rogue integrated, or N... | |
Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC you don’t need Roon to enjoy the M3; if u get the version with Ethernet, all you need is iPad or iPhone plus the MConnect app; in this MConnect app you configure Qobuz or Tidal or both , find your favorites then press play. Doesn’t get any easier ... |
