| Questions on utilizing optical and rca digital outputs Impedance (Ohms) doesn't matter in optical connections. Impedance is for electrical signals, not light. I do suggest you try a Wyred4Sound Remedy in between though, the ARC DACs really open up when fed a high frequency signal. Best,E | |
| Tweeter type and brightness Pistonic I really don’t think many people using this word to describe dynamic drivers know what this means. A dynamic, voice coil motivated driver is either one of two things:PistonicCrapSaying a driver is pistonic means it acts reasonably close ... | |
| Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then? I’m blown away at your post Eric. You have been a member since 2005, 9000 posts, Those are kind of weird statistics to associate with turntable ownership. Since you’ve only been here since 2018 and have under 200 posts, should I assume you only li... | |
| Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then? Thanks everyone for the ideas!! | |
| Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then? I'd like to spend $1000 or less, given I may buy like 5 records. :) Cost for cartridge + player. Main requirement for me is that it not damage the vinyl while playing, and have rock solid settings. Want to set it up exactly once. | |
| Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then? I've also looked at the Luxman's, but it seems the good used models are on the high side. | |
| Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then? I’ve been looking at the PL-530, specifically which seems pretty and affordable. On the new side was thinking about the PLX-1000Has anyone actually spent time listening? | |
| Minimonitors Look at Fritz. | |
| McIntosh MC207 Plus Krell HTS - What Would You Do? 1 - Treat your room properly 2 - Start making your own speakers. It's less work and more satisfying. | |
| Dead(? ASUS ESSENCE STX II In that price range, consider an external Topping DAC instead? | |
| In Defense of Audiophiles, Bose, Pass, Toole and Science I am still surprised by how many judge science by whether it is used for their own preferences or not. You cannot judge science by whether it is used to further an end you particularly want to have happen or not. You judge it by whether the follow... | |
| Best used integrated under $5k I know this is going to sound weird, but the Luxman actually sounds more tube like than the ARC VSI 75 in the sense of having a more wonderful, liquid midrange. | |
| What's the worst speaker or stereo set-up you've ever seen? Fabio had ML? I thought he had Infinity towers. | |
| What's the worst speaker or stereo set-up you've ever seen? At two different dealers I heard Wilson's which had the phase reversed. Kind of the worst because of the expectations. | |
| Infinity RS 2.5 Speakers Description - Need help connecting wires properly on woofers So I just simulated this using XSim and resistors for the drivers. If the impedance magnitude is correct, and driver resonance is a good reason why it would not be, the two woofers in parallel without the switch being thrown go down to about 1.5 O... |
