| Dirac - does it work with a stereo preamp? I have Dirac running on a MiniDSP SHD that I use for stereo. SHD -> C2500 (pre) -> MC152 (amp) | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? @laaudionut None taken. I'm pretty happy with things right now, at first I felt that the B&W were fatiguing, but a combination of changing the speaker placement and adding acoustic treatment to my echoey room seems to have taken care of that. ... | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? @mrklas Thanks! I was able to cross off more boxes by going with separates, so I changed my plan a little bit. I didn't know about the MC152 which basically got me what I wanted without having to go as big as the MC302.I've been having a lot of fu... | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? Hi all, latest update:The amp I ended up buying was... none on my list! I bought a McIntosh MC152. 150W/Ch w 2 dB headroom so no power concerns and also has the autoformers. Nice and laid back, seems to have tamed my tweeters a bit. Only had a cha... | |
| Is it time to Update Your Router's Software? The problem with firmware updates is that sometimes they fix one thing and break another. So if you’re happy with how everything is working and there isn’t a specific bug fix that you need many people would rather not roll the dice on it. Also, le... | |
| Room Correction - Roon + REW (Room EQ Wizard) I've given REW 2 tries so far. The first time was pretty bad because I had no idea what I was doing. The second time was much better - it's a complex piece of software and there are lots of things you can play with. Something still seemed "off" th... | |
| Is ebay feedback worth anything on Audiogon? From what I see it is only the newcomers who cant be bothered to leave feedback, the old school still do on a regular basis.And they still outweigh those who do not leave feedback. I would agree except there are a lot of newcomers on eBay now. I... | |
| Is ebay feedback worth anything on Audiogon? Ha ha, in the 15 years since this thread was started - eBay feedback got even less useful because sellers can no longer leave negative feedback for the buyer.About a month ago, I had an item listed on eBay for $1800. Buyer made me a $1500 which I ... | |
| What does Sonos Connect 'do' to a recording? @n80 wow, I had no idea there was a 3rd variant of the connect, it looks like you’re right. First it was the Zone Player, then G1 Connect which had no change other than the name, then the G2 Connect. It looks like both of my Connects are G1.The G2... | |
| What does Sonos Connect 'do' to a recording? @n80 I think you're referring to the Sonos Port as Gen 2. I have the Connect and it's Gen 1 and won't work with S2. I'm pretty happy with my Connect, but have been debating if it's worth upgrading to a Port or just switching to a DAC with built-in... | |
| Anybody want a laugh? I believe that if you use shielded ethernet cables, there actually is a chance of affecting your sound output... because they have the potential to create a ground loop if the switch and streamer are on different outlets. Most people, however, don... | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? It's not an audio gear story, but this happened to me a couple of cars ago when I was car shopping.I had been driving a BMW 328i convertible for almost 4 years and had been saving up for my next new car. The 328i was ordered and my plan was to ord... | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? So... after tons of continued research, I think I’m honing in on a game plan.First, to address my power concern: 100W is fine. Doing the math, 2m listening distance, at 88.4 dB (measured on stereophile) sensitivity, with a desired volume of 102 dB... | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? So I’ve been thinking about this more, and I think @atmasphere has a point - maybe watts really isn’t a big deal for me. After all, I have 100 wpc right now and I can’t crank it, as is, without going deaf. Probably the room acoustics of my small r... | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? @auxinput Being new to this, I'm still figuring things out - but that's why I came into this thread with an open mind - despite wanting a Mac, I'm now seriously considering other options and doing research on the many things that are being written... |
