| Wireless Router - Noise Culprit Never mind about the shielded Ethernet cables. Apparently they only work with specialty hardware. | |
| Wireless Router - Noise Culprit OP: Possibly. I mean, the only way to tell is to attach a soup can to ground and see if covering your cartridgegets quieter! :) @lowrider57 - SMPS can be awful. Especially true of laptops, and PCs but any really. That's why I recommend putting the... | |
| Bass management with stand alone preamps Parasound P7 and others include it. | |
| Wireless Router - Noise Culprit You are not at all the first to note these issues, either induced through signal cables or the power lines. This is why I try to use shielded cables (signal and power) and dirty/clean power zones wherever possible. I'm curious, are your phono cabl... | |
| Speaker of the Century Award Goes To .... @mrdecibel Totally understood! You should get what is best for you. :) But we can't really call Horns the most popular speaker type either. :) Blessed are those who can afford a dedicated listening room.Best,E | |
| Looking for Room Measurement / Speaker Setup Software So you probably won't be interested in a preamp with built in room correction. I'm thinking anything from an Antinode to Anthem. Those would probably be great help. If that's true, would you be willing to use a digital EQ before your DAC? Best,E | |
| Speaker of the Century Award Goes To .... Sorry DS, that's not the criteria I am using. :) The "Speaker of the Century" is about what's best for the median enthusiast. What speaker is great sounding, affordable and live-able.Under these criteria, the 2.5 has a lot going for it. The whole ... | |
| Looking for Room Measurement / Speaker Setup Software Ian is a newbie to this, which is why I recommended OmniMic, it's a lot easier to use and get data from. :) REW will work and has a big support forum, but it was also more complicated. Ian, you should go check out the Room EQ Wizard pages and foru... | |
| Turntable Hum Well, if the noise was just random, I'd suggest you have a power supply issue. | |
| Looking for Room Measurement / Speaker Setup Software REW is fine, I just like OmniMic based on experience. I find it easier to use. Both will get the job done and both include test signals. Course, if you want to get really basic, with an Android, get Audio Tools and a $20 imm 6 from Dayton audio | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Have you heard the Revels in the Focal price range?? Also, life is short. You really want to die knowing you waited several years to get the speakers you liked, or do you want to die knowing you spent those years listening to music with speakers y... | |
| Looking for Room Measurement / Speaker Setup Software Hey Ian,Talk to GIK Acoustics. Great advice, and great products for your room. They'll look at your pictures and drawings and help you get set up. That's going to be more useful to you than buying software and a calibrated mic _unless_ you have ac... | |
| Speaker of the Century Award Goes To .... Mike, I don't think that being a 2.5 way makes a speaker better sounding, but more convenient! :) Best,E | |
| Speaker of the Century Award Goes To .... Another brand: Avalon Ascendant | |
| Speaker of the Century Award Goes To .... PS - In case anyone is wondering, I used to have Focal Profiles, and now use a 2-way. I still think the 2.5 way speakers have a really great combination of features that, as a speaker "type" is hard to match. Best,E |
