| What have you been working on in 2020? There are plenty of extant power cord discussions on Audiogon. I would like to encourage those who want to engage that topic to start a new one or look for an old one so we can stay more broadly focused here. Thank you. | |
| What have you been working on in 2020? ErikI believe you helped me with loading the software on the RPI and mentioned you had a squeezebox type of setup at one point.@ovinewarI did have a SB setup. I tried PiCore as well. They all pale to Roon. At the same time, the PC requirements ... | |
| What have you been working on in 2020? I built a touch screen Raspberry Pi 4 with a Hifiberry Dac. Really enjoying Tidal. @ovinewar That's really super!! I really like Tidal a lot better with Roon for some reason. It makes the difference between my modest CD collection ( ~ 650) and... | |
| What have you been working on in 2020? This is the real stuff right here: Building the Pass Amp Camp Amp with my 10 year old boy! Way to go @au_lait ! : Also, don't forget the girls. They need to solder too. | |
| What have you been working on in 2020? @skyscraper I thought I might start with upgrading the stock cord on my Luxman 507uX MkII integrated amp first. I read somewhere here you upgraded the power cord on your Luxmann integrated. Did you notice any improvements in sound after you di... | |
| Hearing loss and HiFi Hi Pipebro,Having good room acoustics helps a great deal. If there's a specific band you need help with then an EQ is the right way to go, but if it is as broad as you say it is then that's not going to help you. Try this. Sit close to the speak... | |
| USB sucks USB / Linux support is tricky. Sadly Linux is not as easy to add DAC drivers to compared to Windows or OS X, but since so many streamers are Linux under the covers this is often a high priority target. As I remember, Linux requires the DAC drive... | |
| 100v,115v versus 230v True your power amp probably runs on 400v rails Only if it’s a tube amp! Solid state amps usually run +- 100 V or significantly less. As I recall, a 100W (@ 8 Ohms) amp usually has around +- 50 V. | |
| Should a reference speaker be neutral, or just great sounding? So it sounds as if most here are saying that objective neutrality is not a requirement, but to be a "reference" speaker it should be the epitome of the maker's product line? Or it can be something you go back to as your personal preference. I gues... | |
| Should a reference speaker be neutral, or just great sounding? @Kenjit I have no idea what you are on about, so again, ignoring you. | |
| 100v,115v versus 230v Yeah, nothing I'd like more than to run 230V in this apartment... :) Sadly almost all American outlets are 110V, with rare exceptions for large appliances. Still, the potential is there! I mean, high voltage = less current, less voltage sag durin... | |
| Stereophile complains it's readers are too informed. The point of the article I believe that to many are automatically drawn to speakers that say or they are told have a flat responseAnd this is not a position I have ever espoused. I mean, I know this is what I like, but why should that influence yo... | |
| SEAS Excel Magnesium Midwoofer 51/2 inches ROCK SOLID BASS While I think that it is good to let audiophiles know how much bass these modest mid-woofers can produce, it’s also not fair to claim it is the only way to go. In modest living rooms, when not seeking concert level rock output these systems can be... | |
| IcePower1200AS: Who has heard or has them, with what system components? Do you love them? @tweak1Right? What was so surprising to me is that the ICEpower series sounded the same. Totally different technology, designed and executed thousands of miiles apart but in my environment so very similar. Best,E | |
| SEAS Excel Magnesium Midwoofer 51/2 inches ROCK SOLID BASS I wrote about this phenomenon in a recent thread:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/there-s-a-lot-more-bass-in-a-6-5-driver-than-most-of-you-thin...as well as here:https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2020/04/how-to-not-buy-subwoofer.html... |
