| My record player sounds slightly high pitched High pitch = FastDo you have other sources to compare to? | |
| Do these woofers look right on these Dunlavys IVA's? Yep, look fine. Fritz uses a current version of them. http://www.fritzspeakers.com/index.aspThe random, non factory look of them actually contributes to reducing resonance modes that occur in the cone itself. | |
| Worth upgrading from Mytek Brooklyn to Mytek Brooklyn Bridge? Just keep in mind that Roon still requires a server. Best,E | |
| Simple question, or is it... An amp which has no load = an amp with no speaker connected to it. A test load is a resistor or complex circuit put on the output of an electrical device to measure it's' performance under standard operating situations. See the Stereophile simulat... | |
| Simple question, or is it... A "big load" is one which draws, and therefore dissipates, a lot of power. On any given AC circuit, more load = more current = lower resistance/impedance. Think of a hair dryer. 1500 Watts is a big load, and caused by a low resistance | |
| Vandersteen 2c vs Thiel CS2 you should listen to both, I cannot believe that you'd like both in the same system. The treble was so pronounced in Thiels that I could never listen to them for any length of time. For me, they were ear drills, similar to TriangleBest,E | |
| Why not a portable DAP as a streamer/DAC? Be amazed how good modern portables sound. | |
| Has anyone successfully put their speakers in storage for an extended period of time? Sell them, and lighten your load. | |
| Player or Router Issue? DHCP alone should work. Double check whether the default network has changed, often something like:192.168.x.yIn the example above, the X may change and you may not have noticed, but sometimes the address changes to a 10.x.y.z address. Make sure ... | |
| room size Hey LLoyd,Suggest you talk to GIK acoustics. They give great, informed and professional advice and have great products to help you. | |
| Directionality Explained We have cheap 192kHz / 32 bit analog to digital converters and terabyte drives available which would allow any idea of conditionality to be examined and compared. If there was any, and I mean any, bit of difference in cable direction we would be a... | |
| Are dB meters on smartphones accurate? You can get a calibrated mic for a smartphone for about $22:https://amzn.to/2LBaQKYYou need an app like AudioTools which accepts a calibration file. Best,E | |
| O.K., downloads, streaming and more....but I still like many of my CD and SACD disks I haven't heard it yet, but Luxman just released a transport/DAC. Best,E | |
| Suspected power fluctuations on new 20A Circuit Hey OP: Not for $30. ;-) Best,E | |
| stand-mount speakers for classical music OP: Fritz typically makes ported, I believe, and they have remarkable low bass extension. My suggestion was just that if you are committed to sub use, sealed integrates a little better, and results in a smaller speaker, so I'd discuss it with hi... |
