| help me with a DAC decision please I like Schiit a lot but I am very happy with Mytek Brooklyn, built in phono pre as well. :) There's some one on AG who gives you a 30 day in home trial.I'm not sure if Schiit supports DSD, but Mytek sure does. Best,Erik | |
| Dual subs and room size Yes, two subs is better, but 1 sub with acoustic treatment and eq is very very good. My point was, for a room that small, 1 sub is probably enough. So much so that the second sub may not be worth the expense. Buy a dozen subs if you want to but if... | |
| Recommed a medium sized monitors that can go loud Used Monitor Audio Silver series speakers would be your best value I think. | |
| Dual subs and room size Also, your room is kind of small, so I strongly suggest you plan to start with 1 sub. You may find yourself perfectly satisfied with that. While I love my Hsu it lacks built in EQ. I make my own loudspeakers, so that’s not a problem. I live and br... | |
| Dual subs and room size I don't knwo the SVS, but I love my HSU!! :) First, take a deep breath. If your main speakers are like the girl next door: firendly, cheerful, ready to accommodate others, subs are like the bastard drunken dad. Making them work well is not as eas... | |
| Music Server format? Sure, conversion is quite easy. FLAC files are smaller, so more files in same disk space. Best,Erik | |
| What is you TIDAL setup? I play Tidal either through Logitech Media Server or the Oppo 103. I haven't done direct comparisons, but since LMS is USB 2.0 I expect it will be the most jitter-free of the two solutions, but I find the Mytek is a pretty consistent player regard... | |
| Help, my system sounds lifeless! by the way, I kind of agree with Jond in that your speakers are too big for the space. Narrow dispersion stand-mounts are better ideas, especially if clarity and musicality are what you want. They may also "sound" tighter in the bass due to not ag... | |
| Help, my system sounds lifeless! Start with your room acoustics. Good acoustics will outlast every other piece of gear. :) GIK Acoustics gives great advice and most value components. Courtains, wall hangings behind and on the sides are additional ways to improve the situation. On... | |
| I need advice. Yeah, either sell the Sansui to some one who wants it, or re-cap it for reliability's sake alone. A bad failure can cascade, even blowing speakers. :) What about digital? In additin to high rez downloads there are awesome internet stations out the... | |
| Questioning the need for a DAC Hi, You don't need anything that doesn'at actually sound better to YOU. That's for sure. Still, with proper care your ears will last a long time. :) I’ve heard both. The Schiit is a very smooth DAC with tons of low level detail. The 103 (which I ... | |
| Best Capacitors for Crossovers Wait, used? Shouldn't need to be broken in that much. | |
| Best Capacitors for Crossovers Cool, never tired them. Troels Gravesen loves them, but he's sponsored. :) Best,Erik | |
| Best Capacitors for Crossovers Hey Ozzy, what caps are you trying right now?If you are going to try 1 brand at a time but can’t burn them in, it will take you a while to try 2-3 brands. :) Totally worth it to find another amp around the house to use for burn-in. Erik | |
| Best Capacitors for Crossovers NIce. I like silver, and copper, but really not impressed by silver/copper for speakers. Best,Erik |
