| Requesting opinions about 4 specific amplifiers What's the sensitivity of the speakers you have? If I had to do it again I would pick a tube amplifier that can run on low wattage with speakers that are higher sensitivity. There are a lot of very high-quality tube amplifiers that use just a few ... | |
| Focal v Wilson @8th-note Awesome comment about impedance curves. Never really focussed on impedance curve differences as it relates to different speakers. Impedance curve variety between speakers is enlightning. I guess biamping might help level the playing ... | |
| Tracks that bring out the best of YOUR digital system Don Ellis, Rock Odyssey Trumpet player who leads a jazz band and this chart will knock your socks off. From the 70s end of good quality. Chuck Mangione, main squeeze album is pretty awesome. | |
| Youtube audiophile hi res sounds MUCH better than my Eversolo streamer YouTube definitely has amazing sound quality for many videos. Very comfortable to to channel listening. | |
| Importance of clocking @greg_f Thank you for the response but it's not helpful versus what I was trying to say. Doesn't really clarify the essence of what I was trying to say. Seems to me a better Clock needs to be designed for inclusion within a dac. Adding a separ... | |
| Importance of clocking Isn't the best place for a clock to be inside a dac, why don't dacs have better clockers? I have to believe many do. And if they don't buy a better dac. Adding this type of peripheral is just insane. Much better to integrate with all the wiring ... | |
| What did a good 10 MHz clock do for your Gustard R26? I don't understand why people buy external clocks. The dac itself should already come with an excellent clock. Not sure I like the idea about adding an additional box to address a deficient clock within a dac. Plenty of higher end dacs have excel... | |
| My new Borresen X3's Yes people like finishes on their speakers. I wish there would be more focus on what goes on inside the speakers but that's a mystery area. All those crossovers and electronica stuff going on back there, no one knows what goes on. That's really i... | |
| My new Borresen X3's @ronboco I looked at rockports and a couple dealers said they were disappointed with sales. I'm not gonna buy the very high-end rockport and the lower end models are not that spectacular. | |
| How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use? I think $.20 per kilowatt hour is not so bad. I think us audio people should be more sympathetic and not leave our equipment on all the time. I turn on all my tubes about an hour before and they run for about 4 to 5 hours and then they go to sle... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? @mapman Outstanding comment above. I have an AV processor and I use that for DSP that seemed helpful for all the various speakers. For two channel listening I have roon and it’s tougher to use the AV processor to facilitate and measure the roo... | |
| How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use? fyi, I am paying $.20 per kilowatt hour including distribution, or about $85 a month. This is pseg in New Jersey | |
| How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use? @tsacremento That's a lot of electricity. I would guess a lot of it relates to the pool. I saw your audio space and my gosh there's a lot going on here. And I bet it's really really quiet in the desert to appreciate everything. I see you also ... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? @immatthewj When you're famous you have to use aliases. I'm not famous, I'm just another nobody. I think we've all gotten used to leaf blowers and no one cares anymore. I'm in a room right now and all the tested curves look fine and I've done ... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? @audition__audio Well this is enlightening. My family can complain to me about playing my hi-fi too loud and maybe they have no right to do this. My neighbour plays a leaf blower too loud and it interferes with my phone calls inside my house I h... |
