| Roon's update sounds really good There's no way to get a network receiver in a device that isn't noisy. It happens. However, I agree that the cable itself can be a source of RFI/EMI interference, so it's good to route it away from analog interconnects and power cables. I would im... | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms Toole theorizes that the ear is better able to decipher complex music signals when it is given "multiple looks" via multiple spectrally-correct reflections. This is the best explanation I’ve heard, and is probably similar to cupping your ears. Als... | |
| Tone controls -- assuming you're ok with them, when would you try them? You're getting pretty close to the "TMI" line for me, Erik. ;-) @hilde45I feel like it is important my fans get a real sense of who I am. Also, I smell like lavender. | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms The fact that omnis sound good in many "terrible" rooms is imo proof that, in THOSE rooms anyway, the issue was not the room itself. Duke,Having a pro in the thread is like cheating. :) Can we define good though? I mean, I agree with the on/off a... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load @joysjaneOld Infinity speakers were tuned without much regard to impedance. I'm not sure which speakers you have, but I've seen a number of crossover upgrades for them you should consider which fixes these issues. Good as they originally sounded, ... | |
| Near field speaker setup Hi OP, What I want to know is, why does it sound so good this close? You may have seen one of my dozen or so suggestions that Audiophiles move their chair so they can hear their speakers up close. The difference between that and what you hear a... | |
| Tone controls -- assuming you're ok with them, when would you try them? Some people even get the wax cleared out of their ears. That's a drastic form of tone control. You may think this is funny, but I encourage regular use of a body wash and the shower head. I produce quite a bit of wax, more in one ear than anoth... | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms Hey @bob540 Here's what I suggest. Put your speakers 3' in front of you and listen to music. The difference between that and what you hear at your chair is how good room acoustics can improve the sound. If your speakers are too big, or you lack t... | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms Hi @mammouthguy54I like Dynaudio a lot, but they have different house curves built in. I’ve seen W and V shaped curves built into different models, so none of them are the speakers I've heard are true neutral speaker that lets me listen to a varie... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Here today gone tomorrow world of digital parts and design would make me seriously think about putting serious money into a product that may have obsolete parts in the future that aren’t available. I have to say the modules I’ve seen were barely ... | |
| Small Office - Wilson vs B&W vs Kef I make my own loudspeakers, so I have 2 calibrated microphones. The issue with convolution are several. I mean, by all means, go ahead and try it. The issues are in my mind that you cannot fix room acoustic issues such as reflection points from sp... | |
| Roon's update sounds really good Oh, lastly, Ethernet uses balanced, ground isolated connections by design. Ground loop issues are a real problem in offices and labs, given the long runs possible so the whole Ethernet chain is designed with this in mind. However, routers and swit... | |
| Active Not powered stand mount loudspeaker recommendations So active, not powered, is a speaker system with an active crossover, or bass correction module but which still relies on user supplied amplifiers. Got it. | |
| Roon's update sounds really good does the buffering take care of the interruptions like matching the clocks?Yes. Ideally, you have more data than is asked for. Say 1 seconds worth. While the input/output must be balanced, on average, it does not have to be exactly right all th... | |
| Roon's update sounds really good Hi @hshifiSo, all internet traffic happens using TCP/IP. This protocol has source and destination IP addresses. The only traffic coming to your router is traffic specifically sent to you. Some of this traffic is of course malicious and intended ... |
