| Upsetting story looking for a solution Actually, now that i think about it, many drivers have replacement domes available. Contact Madisound and see if they can be ordered. Far cheaper than replacing the entire tweeter. Due to the nature of Be however, Scanspeak may not want to send ou... | |
| Upsetting story looking for a solution Be is too brittle to dent at room pressure. Like diamond domes, it disintegrates.Not sure what the direct replacement is, it is possible the driver was in fact custom, but that is a claim often made but not true. Looking at the driver you sho... | |
| Upsetting story looking for a solution I believe these are just scanspeak tweeters. Be is poisonous! and may need special care in disposing of them. I am not sure what covers you need, but the tweeters are $500 each retail. See if you had bought a speaker with an AMT this would not h... | |
| Wyred4Sound - Do clocks age? @almarg I'd be surprised if clocks got all that much better over 2 years though. The Auralic jitter specs, at least for the SE version, are outstanding, around 80 femto-seconds, while the published measurements for the W4S are around 87 picosecond... | |
| Wyred4Sound - Do clocks age? Which is why I always drive fast! :) I just found out something I wish I had known before ordering. The W4S Remedy isn''t really a reclocker, it's a sample rate converter with a good clock. That's not at all what I wanted. I'll still give it a l... | |
| newbie DAC question Interesting!! I'm getting a wyred4Sound Remedy though, as an add on for my Squeezebox though. I want to try it out. The SB was reviewed and found to have very low jitter, remarkably low jitter for a low cost product, but I'm curious. Best,Erik | |
| Any actual use of Pono Player through balanced connection into home stereo? Well, the Fiio X7 + K5 desktop amp is a close second to the Pono, and adds Wifi streaming. The K5 also supports balanced outputs via mini jacks.Best,Erik | |
| Newby Q about impedances etc. I think you'll be fine. The biggest issue with small listening rooms is early reflections and higher room modes. Try it, if the amplifier isn't adequate you'll know very quickly. For testing reviewers have to pre-heat the amps at 1/3rd rated pow... | |
| remove tubes before moving cross town? I had no idea cars and trucks could fly back then.... :D :D :D | |
| newbie DAC question The Chromecast is probably a challenge for any DAC. I love my 1st Gen chromecast, but for Anime, not music. :) For that I love my Logitech Squeezebox touch.Interesting review of using the CC just came out today by the way. DAR Reviews Chromecast ... | |
| Subwoofer is too loud with gain all the way down Glad I could help. You are most welcome. Most people think I make this stuff up. :) Erik | |
| Unravelling the CJ preamps WHY? :) I mean, what is it you want to gain, or do you just want different? Brother, have you Best,Erik | |
| Ayre MX R vs Pass Labs X350.8 I love Ayre, but it sounds like you'd be happier with the Pass. :) I think you need to listen for yourself though, I don't think it's that close a call, you'll find your favorite quickly. Best,Erik | |
| looking for ideas on a tube pre amp Personally, I'd keep the JC2 and change the tweeter caps on the Focal to Mundorf MKP's or Supreme's. Still..... ARC is an interesting perspective. Their new stuff isn't like their old stuff. If you are looking for a more mellow presentation, the ... | |
| remove tubes before moving cross town? Depends. If it was going in my car, and it would, no. :) If you were going to have to give them to others to drive along with everything else, I would consider it. Tubes are sturdier than you'd think though, they were flying in airplane radios lo... |
