| Toole and why I like Tone Controls Further, I don’t really like the idea of fiddling with EQ per track. That’s a more fidgety approach to music listening than I want to engage in @prof - Absolutely true for me as well. Once my speakers are dialed in nicely I tend to enjoy pr... | |
| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think Thanks for the audioxpress article, very interesting about phase and zero phase in recording and playback. It seems like the effects of phase linearity and accuracy are subtle, also. You are welcome. One thing I like about Toole a great dea... | |
| pass labs x250.8 or simaudio w-5 Mike, I’ve not heard Simaudio, but I think if you are looking for a change there’s a number of brands which I have listened to and I think are worth a listenPass, Luxman, Ayre I think among those you will find a strong preference. :) Best,E | |
| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think Unexpectedly, however, I did notice an improvement in my system’s midrange clarity and the level of detail within the soundstage illusion, too. @noble100 I literally just read a posting that explains this. Look at the comments from Dr. Kippel:htt... | |
| Building an AUDIOPHILE friendly PC from scratch so what is a must to consider in 2020? Any new SSD will have plenty of speed to stream audio. M.2 is damn convenient, but don’t bother overspending. If this is dedicated for audio get the biggest, slowest M.2 drive you can. 😀. The top of the line Samsung Evo Pro will be severe overkill... | |
| Best steaming DAC with room correction OH, almost forgot .... miniDSP now has streamer + Dirac Live units here:https://www.minidsp.com/products/streaming-hd-series/shd-series | |
| Best steaming DAC with room correction Also, if you use Roon, you can do the room correction yourself. :) | |
| Best steaming DAC with room correction Sorry, a little mistaken. Anthem DOES have a preamplifier with built in DAC and ARC, but it does not appear to have streaming features built in. https://www.anthemav.com/products-current/type=pre-amp/model=str-pre-amplifier/page=overviewBest,E | |
| Best steaming DAC with room correction Don't forget the Anthem units. :) | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. @gdnrbobLove MT, you've heard Keith Jarrett too, right? | |
| New Breaker Box-Should I upgrade? 1. Should I bother, when everything still works?No. 2. Would a larger capacity box provide me with a better supply of current that would, in turn, improve my dedicated audio lines? Nope. What you could do however is move your audio lines to a s... | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. OK, starting off with Ballads now. So far no problems. | |
| Axe to grind know it alls I may be on that list but here is my suggestion: Post topics you want to talk about. Music, clubs, trends, and interesting presentations you have seen or read about. Without that this becomes little more than advice on exchanging commodities. Mak... | |
| 10 meters of interconect cable is too long. To put this another way, the entire circuit would be 60' long. :) | |
| 10 meters of interconect cable is too long. So, yes, sound quality and noise are potential issues at that length. That's 30' - OK for balanced cables, not so much for single ended (RCA). |
