| Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier If this is class D, don't turn it off!! I found mine took ~ 48 - 72 hours to sound good again after being off for a week. | |
| Extra power or cleaner power? Room acoustics from GIK would be my first priority. After that, here's my thinking on power :https://inatinear.blogspot.com/2019/04/power-management-for-frugal-audiophiles.html | |
| Power cable with small connector / termination Would you consider using high quality cables to make your own? That would solve your size issues. | |
| Power cable with small connector / termination Sorry, not the AC cables, but the AC connectors. | |
| Power cable with small connector / termination The Cardas AC cables are relatively small. Check them out. | |
| Aurender N100 internal hard drive or USB external drive? Internally, you have less of an issue with more power supplies to pollute your AC. SSD is best, but you don't need top of the line. 2 year old SSD's have plenty of throughput. They have instant, random access, and no motors to spin up/down. I onl... | |
| Active line level crossover with subwoofer out - HELP No idea whether either of these will solve the problem but Parasound Halo preamps have sub out with adjustments Purely analog crossover, you can add an EQ to the sub after. | |
| Equi=Core Hum & Other Issues Now, I should add that the electrician found corrosion on one leg in the meter outside due to water leakage AHA!! :) I've read that corrosion can act as a diode. Lets see if this fixes it all. :) | |
| Streaming Preamp without a built-in DAC I am looking for a preamp that contains those digital sources. Connect the DAC almost like a tape loop, however digital out/analog in. Sorry, no. It's not a logical assembly. The sequence MUST be:Streamer --> DAC --> Preamp --> AmpSo,... | |
| Active line level crossover with subwoofer out - HELP My concern is if the sample rate of this device will nullify the resolution value of my DAC. The miniDSP HD apparently is 32bit & 192k. The new $60 dsp from Parts Express doesn’t say. Yeah, this is an issue. This is why I run purely digital EQ... | |
| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think Small drivers doing bass or big drivers doing high frequency doesn’t sound like a great plan. There are better ones out there......... I’ve never said otherwise. My entire point of this thread was about room gain, and how it affects a speaker’s re... | |
| Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us? Certain folks smell, taste differently It's true, I dislike the taste of vegetarians personally. I can't get past the sense of eating fat Brussels sprouts. | |
| Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us? Hook up one speaker out of phase and listen to what happens. There is a misunderstanding. I am more sensitive to speakers being wired out of phase to each other than a lot of other people. What I am not sensitive to is the phase of the recording... | |
| Active line level crossover with subwoofer out - HELP DSP makes the miserable space I've been relegated to employ as a 'listening area' (I'd be hard pressed to call it a 'room') tolerable....so my bias is obvious, and enough said. Exactly. Sure, we all want to be purists, but the reality is tha... | |
| Room Treatment Compared to ASC, GIK is a huge value leader.Their soffit traps (bass traps) are gorgeous, easy to stand up in corners, and offer amazing low frequency performance compared to other products. I highly recommend them. |
