| Cross-talk and distortion, chief soundstage contributors... Answer my own questions then. Words matter!!!If this was directed towards me, I am not obligated to reply to anyone. I often chose to reply to people who are nice and use complete sentences and make cogent arguments which leave open the possibili... | |
| Cross-talk and distortion, chief soundstage contributors... If we ignore the "chemistry" of sound, and focus on 1 component alone, then yes kind of sort of. Truthfully you don't need perfect crosstalk. Look at how poor LPs are compared to CD's and they can image wonderfully. I think about -60 dB in the mi... | |
| Replace panel or add subpanel? I think your electrician is giving you the more economic solution with a sub panel vs. a complete replacement. If you already want to replace the main panel anyway, say to clean up code violations and/or breakers being used for more than 1 run, th... | |
| Sound quality of Roon vs. Lighting Between S/PDIF and USB 2.0, USB has the higher bandwidth. You can up convert at least up to 384kHz in Roon with USB. I just tried it. :) No problem. However, with modern DAC’s I honestly don’t hear a difference like I used to with older DACs, an... | |
| Are you a special snowflake? Hahahaha. | |
| How to remove ground pin on power cable Disassemble the sub side connector and remove the green/center wire from the end. I'd wrap it in black tape and reassemble it. This will preserve the value and let you reverse it. I suggest the sub side because if the cable is shielded, you'll wa... | |
| Cross-talk and distortion, chief soundstage contributors... The prerequisite for sound stage is room acoustics. I have found that the sound stage is directly tied to the room treatment. Want height? Treat the floor and ceiling. Depth? Treat the wall behind and in front of the speakers. Do this experime... | |
| Replace panel or add subpanel? The sub panel is a great idea for convenience’s sake. You can run a 60 Amp circuit with 1 cable, and then have short runs to the room, giving you a number of dedicated outlets. If your listening room is far from the main panel, this is going to be... | |
| How long do you think it will take Sorry, I couldn't read this thread because there's a dog whistle going off. | |
| Mytek Dac going Ac to DC power. Hey @Madinuk2007The DAC will only draw the current necessary, so in theory even a 100A supply would be OK so long as the voltage did not exceed ~ 14 V . Best,E | |
| XLR connectors Neutrik is my go-to, and they have silver pins in some models, perfect for 100% silver conductor cables. | |
| speakers or room??? Always treat the room. GIK Acoustics | |
| Swapping out OEM speaker driver with new driver Hey OP,Unfortunately if you cannot find an exact replacement, there's no easy way to just eyeball a matching driver. Too many variables, which would require a new crossover. I believe you have 2 of these mid-woofers, right? You'd need to replace ... | |
| New Speaker / System Suggestions What are your room acoustics like? Reach out to GIK acoustics first. | |
| Swapping out OEM speaker driver with new driver Have you reached out to them? Are you sure it is the driver and not a crossover component? If you can't get an exact replacement this is going to be quite a bit of work to fix. |
