| Class D Technology As far as I'm concerned the best Class D amps made today are the Mola Mola Kaluga Monoblocks, which I own. They have ZERO of the nasty sound behaviors people always seem to cry about when ever the topic of Class D technology comes up. It wouldn't ... | |
| What interconnects are you guys using for bi-wiring speakers? I need a Y XLR based cable. @auxinputYes the CP800 is a pretty unique beast and it took me quite a long time to find such a beast that can do what it does. I still use it today strictly as a PreAmp and get no sense of it being a weak point in my system despite it actually be... | |
| Should I really, really buy a Berkeley Reference DAC...Testify! I've never heard the Berk Ref DAC but I do wonder why I see them up for sale so often considering how new they are.I'm a Meitner/EMM Labs man myself and would step up to the MA-1 as gateway drug option from where you are now before going whole hog... | |
| What interconnects are you guys using for bi-wiring speakers? I need a Y XLR based cable. OP... What PreAmp are you going to be using in this setup? Does it have X 2 sets of XLR Outputs, each with plenty of voltage so you can feed a proper signal to each of the Amp Inputs?If you don't have X 2 pairs of XLR Outputs on the Pre I wouldn't... | |
| Refreshing mPad Hello,I used MPad for several years prior to recently switching to ROON.The update Database option is needed in order to show newly added music rips to the watched folder if you would rather not wait for whatever the default interval is by the mus... | |
| Shorten my speaker cables? I'm not sure how someone could say with a straight face that a cable X 5 or more longer wont have an audible difference between its much shorter counterpart.There is no getting around the fact that all electrical parameters involved with the wire ... | |
| The most transparent speaker cable Hold the phone!Everyone posting here is wrong :) The answer to the most transparent cable is the shortest cable that you can find (ideally 2ft or less per run) that is somewhere between 9-12awg and made of multi nines OFC Copper and has an outer j... | |
| my speakers hum @erik_squires How do you figure that?Its certainly not the speaker making noise on its own. There is an Amp and speaker wire connecting everything together is there not?The speaker wire is the conduit to allow the noise to pass thru to the speaker... | |
| my speakers hum Is it possible that these speakers have been wired accidentally in reverse polarity? And I mean, internally or externally by yourself? Try flipping the Positive/Negative Poles around on the speaker cables.Another option you can play with would be ... | |
| Isolation Platforms under Line / Power Conditioners ..any thoughts ? I just experimented with this last week. I found X 4 Herbie Audio Lab Superior Decoupling Spikes lying around in my storage room from a previous project. The idea of wanting to implement some form of isolation on my Torus Power RM20 Iso Trans has ... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Here is another option to consider based on your described room and budget.Have you looked at the Magneplanar 1.7 speakers by chance? I think those and nice JL Audio Sub would be a nice setup in that room for starters.You would probably be a littl... | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? The trend seems to be more smaller drivers verses fewer larger ones, no doubt to help keep the bass as accurate as possible. Multiple smaller drivers eventually add up to one bigger one at some point but I think some companies take this concept a ... | |
| How loud in DB, Is "cranking it" I don't like to play games so for me normal level is 93db or so and a typical Fri/Sat night jam session runs up to 110-112db on peaks. I'd go higher if I thought I could get away with the neighbors not knocking on the door. They should probably be... | |
| Cables that cost more than good loudspeakers I've recently given in to the expensive speaker cable camp after using budget cables for years, even on 5 figure speakers.Once I got a taste of "The other side" I could no longer ignore what I was hearing despite hating the thought of the price I ... | |
| Using 4 mono blocks I ran X 4 Mono Blocks for a few years with good results but it took a change in my Pre-Amp to do so; correctly (key word) and without compromises. I ended up buying a pre-amp that came with more than one pair of XLR outputs and was built from the ... |
