| Speaker Analysis for Armchair Critics Duke @audiokinesisYou are killing me.๐๐๐ I meant to say that "the goal of speaker analysis is..."ย and for consumers, this is a decent introduction, not a comprehensive guide. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? And that, my friend, is why I think the miniDSP units are on the cutting edge.Purely digital EQ, lets you use the best DAC and analog components you have. | |
| How many of you believe in MQA? Hi Larry,From a digits point of view, nothing wrong with that.ย MQA is just FLAC with additional data hidden in the stream.The issue of getting MQA all the way out has to do with licensing and design choices, not always sure which.If your streamer... | |
| MC/SUT into Line Level Vinyl requires the RIAA curve to be applied.ย Even if you got the voltage up correctly at 1 kHz it would be wrong at 40 Hz and 10kHz, so a phono stage is required.Wiki the RIAA curve. | |
| Forte 1A or Threshold 400A You might want to consider expanding your options to include amps from: Coda, Legacy, and Sanders Sound. Aren't these all manufactured by Coda?? | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Just noticed miniDSP has a line of streamers, Dirac EQ and DAC's for ~ 900 to $1,500.Absolutely worth considering. | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load I went looking, while there was 1 thread that was deleted, but still searchable, this is the harshest thing I could say about Spectral, and it was in 2016: I've heard Spectral at Goodwyn's High End in Waltham, MA ages ago. I missed the magic, but... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Thanks for those kind words, @noble100I actually do have amps I like and amps I do not like, and if some one asks about them I'm happy to share my honest opinion about them and why I picked something else. I hope I continue to do so in a way that ... | |
| Can I make my stereo play mono by... Amplifiers are high current, and they have an idea of what the signal should be. If 2 amplifier channels are summed by a cable, they will usually fight each other, providing their maximum output current to win.ย Imagine there's a trumpet on the le... | |
| Can I make my stereo play mono by... Never allow 2 amplifier channels to touch via a conductor. You may have 1 amplifier channel serially connected to any number of speakers: Amp (+) ---> Speaker 1 (+) (-) ------ > Speaker 2 (+) and so on, until ----> Amp (-)Do not short spe... | |
| Streamers from miniDSP with built in room correction! Two main reasons I want to get off LMS: 1 - Support for streaming services is mediocre. I want a live Tidal experience 2 - I just refreshed my piCore and lost all my stations. They're in the "mysqueezebox" but I'm kind of tired with it feeling lik... | |
| DSP crossovers and Phono Stages I think you are obsessed with reading about DSP and crossovers and are gaining very little knowledge. It is time for you to experiment if you want to know more. | |
| A brief review of 15 high-end speakers on home demo including B&W, Boenicke, Magico,Wilson The DSP software within the active bass amps in the speakers tunes down the exact bass frequencies that affect my room thereby eliminating any bass boom, so for the first time I can hear a big bass sound in music from a big speaker in my room but... | |
| Streamers from miniDSP with built in room correction! Thanks @mktmkt !That's exactly the environment I'm moving from. I've got a Raspberry Pi streaming to my DAC via USB, but the LMS is getting old, and doesn't support much besides Tidal. I could just switch to Volumio too, but I am not a fan of subs... | |
| Is Meridian dead as a product company? Thanks for your perspective, thaluza, with Theta ridiculously out of my price range and, in my opinion, always on the verge of ceasing all product development (if it hasn't already happened) I didn't have a lot of choices.I was thinking of buying ... |
