| Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021? @helloistben It is for sure too rich for my blood. :) | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? Hi OP,Glad you are enjoying your new set up. I still agree with Toole, in general, that excess amplifier headroom does not seem to have a big benefit, as opposed to having drivers with excess headroom, or reducing the demand on mid-woofers. The be... | |
| Interconnects under floor? Is that ridiculous? I’d obviously try to run them nowhere near other electrical wiring. No, not at all, a lot of stage wiring is done just this way. But!! It may be super convenient to run under-carpet, flat speaker cables instead. | |
| Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021? I should also point out that Mytek has a brand new line of true streamers out, the Empire line:https://mytekdigital.com/empire_streamer_press_release-2020-09-14/ | |
| What Audio Religion have you converted others to successfully? I have to say, that my intentions on this thread were, as usual, purely for fun, enlightenment and connecting with other audiophiles.I am a little surprised at how quickly and irrevocably this thread went sideways. | |
| Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021? One of my big fears is not that the DAC will get outdated, as everything after 2015 or so is really excellent, but that the software will.I don't need more resolution, or higher bandwidth, but I am worried about the churn in streaming services. L... | |
| The problem with Magicos kenjit if you ever set foot in my home I"ll call the police. | |
| The problem with Magicos YEah, but since most of the energy is int he bass, once you have a port, all the noise is gone. | |
| Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021? I don’t think my reply is a complete non-sequitor, @jackd, at least a third of the OP's post described issues with the DAC’s he is auditioning have to do with the streaming software and control. Honestly, using Roon, I never touch my DAC. | |
| The problem with Magicos You have just discovered the reason for ported speakers, venting the noise. Congratulations. | |
| Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021? I am curious if you've tried either with Roon? That would be my big reason for using the Mytek Bridge. | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? This thread reads so much like Ghost Hunters it’s making me nostalgic. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0426697/ | |
| What Audio Religion have you converted others to successfully? Suck up the pie and say something that makes sense for once.Tell us all about your hi end system so we can all get a laugh.

| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... Should also point out that we are doing a lot of this when we add an active subwoofer with crossover, but in this case most speakers dont' have a high pass filter (YG being one very weird exception) at the crossover slope. | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... I don’t understand why you need a speaker manufacturer to build an active speaker, when you can make a lot of speakers active with an active crossover and your choice of amps. Um, kind of sort of, but not fully. There are a couple of things you ar... |
