| Amps I Like Hey Flseshler : Then came the sterile sounding equipment for about 20 years. Interesting indeed!! I thought when I heard ARC for the first time that the sterile sound was what they always had. I did not realize it had already changed. The pendulu... | |
| Was the Snell Secret a Wide Baffle? We can also, arguably, put the Focal utopia line in this category. Let us know, @murphythecat | |
| Tell us about your acoustic treatments Hey, I ended up going with GIK soffit traps instead. Remarkably effective specs, variety of colors. Easy to stack. | |
| Amp for focal 1038be? Parasound and you probably should consider a number of class D amps out there. | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss George is deliberately skirting the edge of saying something terrible. He crossed it. Further, he's being less coherent and more aggressive. That entire trajectory needs to be stopped. He said "another species."The implication has only one conclus... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss Hi George,Calling any one on this forum non-human is simply not acceptable. I'm reporting your post and you. Stop doing that to me and anyone else here. Erik | |
| Unintended Consequences? Digital Streaming Sorry, I'm reading too many things and paying attention to less and less. :) | |
| Unintended Consequences? Digital Streaming Hi 3, I think this is going to be very DAC specific. Most DAC's I've heard go the other way. Can you share?Best,E | |

| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? I think there's a big gap between a speaker that sounds fast, and a driver that IS fast. I mean, there's a lot of reasons for speakers having more detail or jump factor. The actual transient response of the drivers used does not really contribute ... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? I think a lot of what you are writing about, mijostyn is actually related to room interactions. Your writing, while accurately portraying how dynamic drivers work makes a leap I don't feel comfortable following. A dynamic driver can have a lot mor... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss Hey @jeffvegas, Well, I meant to keep this pass positive, but can you give some very specific examples of a Pass amp you did not like, and compare it to something you did and why? What were the sound characteristics you heard? Also, what speakers?... | |
| DAC to analog stereo for music And movies? Just go HDMI to your TV, and use the optical out from it. That should let you sync the sound if there's an issue with the TV.I have a recent LG OLED and that's how I run. | |
| Was the Snell Secret a Wide Baffle? Really thorough take, Duke.I think if it was made today, he could have gotten away without adding mass to the woofer, or as Vandersteen and others do, using a separate plate amp to power the woofer alone, because all that mass poured into that woo... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? Another way of talking about "speed" is "lack of stored energy." That is, the waterfall plot is very clean and very short, without ringing. |
