A good taste of DSD--what is your experience? Due to streamer limitations (really Linux kernel versions vs. DAC) I've downsampled a lot of DSD to 96/24 and honestly I cannot tell the difference. So my belief is that differences in DSD may be due to mastering differences. There was a study don... | |
Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen Vandersteen is doing an amazingly good job of making dynamic drivers couple well in any room. | |
Time to buy a class D amp? Hi schwos I don't know what PS Audio is doing, but my experience with ICEpower was that they weren't bright, they were warm. As you may know, these modules, like Hypex, allow a lot of customization in the front end. I was listening with stock modu... | |
Marantz Receiver Bad HDMI Yeah, it is amazing how much manufacturers cut down on thermal management to save a few bucks. I can't tell you guys how many wireless routers I've had which only met their specs with a fan and extra heat sinks on them. | |
What Shunyata and Furman (SMP) Have in common - Inductance! Hi Sadano,Feel free to tag me all you want, but I'm not obligated to read or respond to you. You've never been civil, and I choose to ignore you now. Just wanted to do the decent thing and let you know. I've barely read your posts. Feel free to sp... | |
Furman SMP is NOT real series mode surge technology! Hey Sadano, It would be really useful, because I think you may in fact be talking about a trademark issue, which is different from a patent dispute. Do you think it is possible that Furman lifted the SurgeX label, but also licensed the patent? I k... | |
Furman SMP is NOT real series mode surge technology! Yep, you are right. I missed that Furman uses an MOV and thermal fuse AFTER they use the series mode supression. In all other ways the circuitry and behavior are the same. There is literally no way that little MOV and thermal fuse would survive th... | |
Custom Cable. Please Help. Why don't you ask JPS?? They may do something for you. | |
Marantz Receiver Bad HDMI Do you think these HDMI issues have been fixed in the most recent models? Or should I just plan on replacing a unit every year? I'm trying to get 4K HDMI compatible. So far I've seen some Marantz units for ~ $500 refurbished I'm very tempted by. | |
Why discussions generate into personal affronts... I believe in your personal experience and your own wallet over everything and everyone else. To your own ear and to your own wallet be true. I don't have to like what you like, and you don't have to like what I like. | |
Warm up time for amps This does seem to vary a great deal from brand to brand and type of amplifier. My current Luxman amp does not seem to need any warm up time at all, after the initial stabilization period and the relays click on. I had a Parasound which I'd leave o... | |
Time to buy a class D amp? Yeah, imagine coming to Audiogon, and saying "This is my setup and I want to buy this kind of gear, what would you suggest?" and actually getting useful, contextual advice.What kind of place would this be? | |
I loved the AR 93 - What was wrong with me? It used a tweeter and mid-woofer on the front baffle, plus two woofers on the sides. I believe that while the non-tweets shared the same diameter they did not share the same voice coil. I'm pretty sure any you find today would be in need of a refo... | |
What Shunyata and Furman (SMP) Have in common - Inductance! Really need to delete this thread, as the PS Audio units I linked to are no longer the same ones. Those seem to be gone. | |
