| Luxman L-509X Personally I’d never go from Luxman to Pass, so I would not make that choice without listening. The idea that Pass would be universally better does not hold up to my ears. The 509 and 507 are incredibly similar, with the main difference being slig... | |
| Seeking help finding the weak link(s) in my system and offering suggestions please. PS - You can in fact use DSP very effectively for a full, fast bass. These can be MAJOR changes, on the order of 20 dB, BUT ....Room modes are more effectively handled in partnership with bass traps that bleed the energy out of the room, and DSP d... | |
| Seeking help finding the weak link(s) in my system and offering suggestions please. The best way to use DSP tuning is AFTER you've spent on room acoustics. So, I'd suggest you up your budget, maybe to $1,500, and split it among a digital-only miniDSP and the room with GIK Acoustics. Best,E | |
| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. I'm sorry, it wasn't clear from your original post if you were building a new speaker set, or upgrading an existing.My advice was given for a new build, not an upgrade. The brand recommendations remain in either case. :) | |
| Pairing NAD Masters & Harbeth [poss. SHL5+ or 40.2] Hi Talc,Tell us about your room, and speaker locations? Best,E | |
| Moving up from an Oppo 205 The Mytek Brooklyn sounds great and one of the earliest DAC’s with MQA. Available inexpensively as people upgrade to the DAC+ and the Manhattan. | |
| I have to downsize big time, any ideas on integrated amps and smaller 3 way speakers Oh, the Mytek Brooklyn plus their stereo amp is a fine idea. | |
| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. Clarity CMR, bypass > 5uF with a 0.1 copper film But I have to ask, a 3 way speaker system is 2x as difficult to make correctly than a 2-way, if this is your first speaker, I strongly recommend:1 - Visit DIYaudio for help2 - Learn your taste an... | |
| I have to downsize big time, any ideas on integrated amps and smaller 3 way speakers So, if you are keeping the Auralic, I strongly recommend the Luxman. If you need a DAC+Integrated, Ayre. | |
| I have to downsize big time, any ideas on integrated amps and smaller 3 way speakers Luxman 507/509 integrateds. Bespoke speakers from Fritz. Best,E | |
| Mattresses, not stereos is where the money is Oh, so here's the cool thing of Bedgear:You can choose the firmness of each side! Not only that, if you try out one set of coils, and find out you needed firmer or softer, you get 1 replacement set free. | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong Microtime, as the article envisions it, is not a thing. Interferometry and head/ear related comb filtering (i.e. HRTF) is. 1/44,100 is the sampling rate, not the precision of CD playback. Neurons are not single gates. They integrate of multiple co... | |

| How Science Got Sound Wrong PS - If you like vinyl or R2R, that's' fine, I'm not arguing you should stop liking it. I just don't think this author is bringing anything to the table. | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong Hahahhahaha. What a macaroon this guy is. He touches on a few random scientific and audio points, like yes, we do experience sound with the body, and then acts as if he's just suddenly discovered something no one has researched. Anyone really int... |
