| M900U vs the world You know, another amp in this price range I really like is the Vandersteen amps. I haven't heard them for very long, and I did not get to hear them full range, but for the 20 minutes I got to they were really nice. | |
| Very high CPU and memory consumption with Qobuz Streaming itself is not very CPU intensive at all.High CPU for most occurs when you are using DSP features, especially conversion from PCM to DSD, but also using heavy DSP features like equalization and phase adjustment. At least on Roon, this is ... | |
| What do/did you do for a living? I bring madness to the chaos. I know it sounds easy, but let me tell you, it’s a lot of detail work to pull it off day after day. If you have the passion it is easy to get started, but takes a lifetime to master. | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? For the money and hardware flexibility Roon is hard to beet. Still, a single board computer (SBC) is what I would do if I didn’t want to pay full price for a "high end" streamer. Whichever direction you go, I suggest a small appliacne with iPhone... | |
| Replacing The Quad ESL Capacitor Um, I'm sure he meant microfarad, conventionally written as uF. This is 1/1,000,000 of a Farad. You want to know the uF and voltage. You keep the uF the same but can use any Voltage equal to or greater than the original. | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? Linux, micro PC running Roon. | |
| Sound drops out for split second every few minutes..... You should also try playing from the laptop without the speakers. | |
| Warn Sound Capacitor Clarity CS line is very warm. So is the Mundorf MKP. | |
| Luxman MQ68c Amp - Trim Potentiomenters Try your luck over at DIYaudio. | |
| Seas Excel Millennium Tweeter @b_limo, I think so. The break in issues I've experienced have been with mid-woofers, woofers and caps. Not tweeters. | |
| Seas Excel Millennium Tweeter They aren’t running out. :) You can always buy one now and one later. It is worth looking at the crossover however, make sure there are no burn/scorch marks or bad resistors. If so, you should deal with that on both speakers before installing a n... | |
| Tapping Sound from church speakers as aux input for streaming How about this?? https://amzn.to/39iq9mX | |
| M900U vs the world This is a really hard to beat amplifier at $15K. I could spend more on a D’Agostino, and it would be prettier, but at least on the Wilsons I heard... I’d be hard pressed to hear a major step up. I can think of "different" amps, like Ayre, which a... | |
| 5.1 System Front Speaker Separation B&W 802D Well, you don’t want to go too far beyond your screen, and you don’t want to be so close to the sides you increase the side reflections. If you are much wider than the screen the sound effects will no longer match the screen. Remember in a theater... | |
| 5.1 System Front Speaker Separation B&W 802D Why does Audiogon automatically alter discussion titles containing B&W to B&W?It’s actually a bug in how it renders the ampersand. It’s kind of an HTML thing. I'm sure there are probably a lot of other special characters that cause th... |
