| To horn or not to horn Horns bring a couple of interesting dimensions. Dispersion control (less room tuning to worry about) and high efficiency and dynamics. There's a good reason why JBL's top end home speakers use them. :) | |
| How to remove ground pin on power cable From some posts here, apparently many homes continue to be grounded via the water line. This hasn't been acceptable ( up to code ) in decades. I mean, there's no requirement to fix this, generally, but you may no longer rely on copper pipes for ... | |
| DAC Output 192/16 vs. 192/24 Will I Hear A Difference The sample rate and size is about the digital signal. For instance: 44.1 kHz / 16 bits. A DAC has to take a digital input, but outputs an analog signal for which the terms sample rate and bit depth no longer apply. So, when you read the spec's of... | |
| Active speakers for a large room JBL makes a number of powered studio monitors which would probably be a good idea. They work great in far-field situations like restaurants. The one issue is the size of the room. The difference in volume between the front and the rear will be un... | |
| DAC Output 192/16 vs. 192/24 Will I Hear A Difference Doubtful this spec alone will guide you. I'm curious, are there any DAC's which can do 192/16 but NOT 192/24?? | |

| Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer? Thanks! When can I expect my T-shirt and decoder ring? :) Do you want the regular, barely readable decoder ring ($5,000) or do you want the high-end, vibration isolated decoder ring ($150,000) ?? | |
| Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer? Welcome to team frugal. At some point you realize how much of the hobby is purely for the joy of shopping and choose not to play. Best,E | |
| How to remove ground pin on power cable I do have to say it is fishy as hell for a manufacturer to use a 3 pin IEC connector, with a working ground and say it's removable. As I understand it, to not require a ground pin you need the powered section to be double isolated. I have a Hsu... | |

| Bookshelf speaker for an apartment Both the Focal and B&W are speakers that pay particular attention to how the top end and having a house sound. Compare to Fritz or Joseph Audio for a very different presentation. Pick the best sounding and cheapest among them. :) | |
| Roon Nucleus EQ Hi, Unsound. :) Any EQ applied via Roon is additive to any other EQ and filters in the chain. If all your music was through Roon you could replace the Thiel EQ box with a Roon filter if you knew the proper parameters.Roon is a little unusual in th... | |

| Class D is just Dandy! Hi @jaymark,You are kind of hitting on a topic I’ve written about here for a bit, which is habit, taste and training our brains to appreciate different things. For whatever reasons, my brain is wired quite the opposite. I don’t like the sound Pass... | |
| Anthem is on sale ... Thanks ethos4lyfeThat's kind of what I have been expecting. The current line is falling a little behind in HDMI support (still not bad) and the new STR line has a log going for it style wise. The current line is plenty for me though, so perhaps i... |
