| Dbx encoded discs I had to go to Wikipedia to make sure you weren't making things up. :) Never heard of it, but it would have been a good idea, IMHO. | |
| The bass is the place... Because : Room. The lower speakers go, the more monsters they wake. | |
| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science I don’t get it. Why would you assume phase or compression changes? When you don’t know what you will find you cast a large net. I’m not assuming, I’m saying this is a starting direction based on my observations. We were asked to show examples of... | |
| What is the average dealer mark up? For hardware around 60%, but for accessories up to 90%. | |
| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science OK, someone was really determined to measure break in, you know instead of just talking about it, how would one actually go about it? Truthfully, we would need to invent a metric, just like I was discussing at the beginning of the thread. How w... | |
| Eq to pre amp Option1 is the only way that makes sense to me. :) The only alternative is to use the tape loop (when present in the pre) which lets you switch the EQ in and out. Best,E | |
| Demon AVR2808CI. Issue with getting sound to all 5.1 speakers when in Dolby PLII mode. PL II and Neo: 6 are for 2 channel signals. So, those should in fact only be used when you have a stereo signal which use matrixed surround (called either Dolby Surround or Dolby Pro-Logic). For Dolby Digital 5.1 signals you don’t use this. So, do... | |
| Speakers for Yamaha AS2100 Try some Fritz. :) Really great speakers. Easy to live with. | |
| Amps and Kimber 12tc. Big amps and room temperature. All you have to do is look at the power dissipation. Get a cheap device like this one:https://amzn.to/3a6NN4PIt’s all about how many AC watts you are putting into the room. 100% of that becomes heat. Best analog to this is to think of incandescent... | |
| Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ? Interesting, I usually find Pass to sound rather lean with modern speakers. | |
| Voltage conversion of Accuphase A-48 @imhifiman ooooh, awesome! :) I didn't know they had such versatility built in. | |
| Magico vs the world Hey @stereo5The more modern GE speakers may sound much better than the Triton 1 I originally heard, but given the quarantine it is going to be a very long time before I listen to any commercial speaker again. :) I'm also ridiculously happy with my... | |
| MQA DAC with Coax Output I have the original Mytek Brooklyn. Great DAC. MQA does not add to it. It sounds better with MQA disabled and the filter set to fast rolloff than with MQA enabled and the apodizing filter. Best,E | |
| Legacy Wavelet as Preamp/DAC/DSP vs just DSP Honestly I'd just pick one or the other. Keep your PS Audio and current set up or decide the upgrade is worth doing and sell the DAC. Every change requires some sacrifice. :) | |
| I swapped a capacitor and the oddest thing happened Hey @oldhymec I've had very similar things happen with very inexpensive Mundorf MKP. During the break in I kept hearing sounds come from behind and below my ear. Clearly something is happening related to what we now call Head Related Transfer Fun... |
