| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? Yeah, doesn't matter your source. I use Roon which lets me play from my local library where I keep my test signal tracks. | |
| After 20 years, in the market for a power amp My limited experience with GE speakers always makes me want to pair them with excessively warm amps like Parasound. | |
| Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done? @hk_fan - Kind of why I like Roon, which has become my only real music source. It has a very flexible and capable digital EQ section. | |
| Do I Really Need a Dedicated Streamer? I think so. My music listening is sometimes seated, something background. Having a streamer lets me have music going without also having to have my phone/pad or whatever draining it's battery. | |
| Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done? Also, it seems, since so many discussions about improving bass usually end up being battle royals about the various ways to apply subwoofers I wanted to see how well users who did not use subwoofers at all do, without having the other, tired argum... | |
| Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done? @wyoboy because I’d like to know how well this combination works out in general. This will help all of us learn but also help me understand what methods work for others and not just myself. This helps me make better recommendations. Like, if it w... | |
| Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done? Just for the record, flat measurements are only meant for anechoic and quasi anechoic situations. Harman and many others have a lot of writing available on how speakers should perform at the listening location. Actually flat at your chair sounds ... | |
| Can someone explain the clock sync? The sync clock for digital isn't the same as the syncing to movie's 29 frames per second or TV's frame rates together such that the sound and visuals are synced. That is called SMPTE timecode. PS - Never meant to imply it was the same thing. J... | |
| Wrapping power cords and interconnects with copper foil. Here. Just build your own correctly out of the shielded power cables. I'm a big fan of the DH Labs 14 gauge, shielded: https://partsconnexion.com/ac-power-bulk-wire-cable/ | |
| Audiovana disconnects from Qobuz after several days of nonuse Not sure if this is you, but I found that having Tidal on Roon and my phone caused Tidal to stop playing on one or the other. If you have other Qobuz devices sharing the same account I wonder if it would cause these issues? | |
| Can someone explain the clock sync? Hey OP, The idea behind a master clock comes from the pro world where you might have many digital sources that had to be kept in synchronization. Especially true for movie production. You can’t have skew. The only time skew is really an issue fo... | |
| CLASS D I have ICEpower 250ASP units and thought they were a little dark and laid back, a lot like Parasound's Halo line. I am not currently using htem but about to put them back in for surrounds. | |
| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? Hey OP, If your speakers still lack oomph close up it’s not your room for the most part, but it could be your overall levels. Can you post your full range response, including sub and mains? I should mention, I have a Hsu 15" sub as well and well... | |
| Conrad Johnson Mf-2500a amp and PF-1 Preamp Recap? PS - In the case of large PS film caps, those will probably outlast all of us. CJ does use a mix in their preamps. Just replace the electrolytics. | |
| Conrad Johnson Mf-2500a amp and PF-1 Preamp Recap? If we're talking PS caps, which really should be done every 25-30 years with modern caps, you don't need a schematic. The caps will be labelled in big bold numbers. Any tech can do them. I'd leave the signal caps alone. At the point where you s... |
