| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste What part of the distortion signatures concern you? Please reread my entire original post. Thanks,E | |
| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste I’d love to hear an INT 25; I really like the approach they took with the output stage topology; reminds me of Gamut or Dartzeel; Me too, honestly. I have no idea how this sounds, but very curious as to how those measurements will translate int... | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts The Mytek jitter rejection performance is the equal of the dCS Bartok. The schiit isn't even close. Having said that, the Schiit doesn't sound terrible and is very good at resolving low level detail. | |
| Can I mix different yet similar amps... It really probably is best they match. Unless you passive bi-amp, and use the 750 for the top end, 1000 for the bass. | |
| If Caveman Had Stereo What would primitives listen to? Early Hafler amp with Bose 901s. Bada Bing!!! | |
| Favorite instrument through your favorite speakersi There are many I like, the Saxophone, of course, but what always makes me shut up and listen is the French horn well played. Wow. | |
| ethernet connection for Netflix amazon etc. However if I can improve audio and or video I am willing the dish out the $1,000.00 for the Zappiti streamer. Do you people think it would be a waste of money or do you think I would see a improvement in audio and or video going from the Zappiti ... | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. What are the tracks that puzzle you about him? Almost all of it. I mean, of course I can listen to My Favorite Things, but it doesn't sound remarkable.... and the rest, I have a really tough time resonating with. A love supreme is honestly diffi... | |
| Potential subwoofer purchase-a few Q’s I stack the soffit traps vertically. You can put 2 in a corner easily. And yes, they can help in the far corner as room modes are resonances. Any participating corner helps. But it sounds like your sub is ready to go no matter what! :) | |
| ethernet connection for Netflix amazon etc. Is it better to connect direct vie ethernet to TV or to A/V processor Like aux mentioned, I don't know of any AVR that has a streamer for video built in. The biggest issues for me have been the compatibility of the Audio Return Channel (ARC) ... | |
| Would this be a good starter system for streaming? If your source is Roon, running Roon core on your PC, and your target is a USB capable DAC, forget the Rendu and make your own Roon streamer from a Raspberry Pi 4 with Ubuntu 19. $150 in cost to build, including a 128 GB micro SD card, giving me t... | |
| Conceptual Framework for Identifying System Bottlenecks It is neigh impossible to evaluate your posting unless you use specific brand and models.If you wanted to be more helpful you could be specific in talking about what you heard in amps as well as DACs. The idea of selecting a component because we k... | |
| Potential subwoofer purchase-a few Q’s Drop 2-4 GIK Acoustic soffit traps in first. I stand mine in the corners. You will most likely find that the ideal volume needs to go up. THEN decide if you need to replace the sub, and how much of an upgrade you need. Best,E | |
| Is there any bluetooth receivers with male type-B USB USB transmit/async suport usually requires some sort of PC and drivers. In Linux these are actually baked into the kernel (bad design if you ask me). However, if you can do optical in, I think this unit will work:https://amzn.to/2GpCM1OPlease doub... | |
| Is there any bluetooth receivers with male type-B USB Raspberry Pi 4 with Ubuntu? I've not tried Bt with it, but it has Wifi + Bt + USB and the latest Ubuntu kernel fully supports the Brooklyn and I assume the Manhattan as well. I'm using it as a Roon player, before that as a Logitech Media Server an... |
