| using two outputs from a dac? Both will be live. No issues so long as both devices have relatively high input impedance. 25K or higher for each should be more than adequate. | |
| Where to Place Network Switch My usual advice is to focus on wall warts and cable routing. Keep any power supplies (i.e. wall warts) for your network away from power you’ve cleaned with a conditioner and keep IC’s and power cables away from Ethernet cables. Of course, using se... | |
| Tweeters with or without fluid? @dickface - Obviously your mileage may vary, but search DIYaudio and you’ll find lots of discussions about cleaning out old tweeter voice coils with dirty or gummed up ferrofluid. That’s the only reason I know about this. I don’t know however how... | |
| Tweeters with or without fluid? Not exactly a scientific poll, but of about 160 tweeters available at Madisound only about 30 advertise the use of ferrofluid. | |
| Anthem ARC and Subwoofers - A quick review @m-db - I should add that I have a number of GIK acoustics bass traps as well which really help control the worst of the room issues, so that gives me a little help in using sub-optimal locations. At the end my sub is against the left wall about ... | |
| Anthem ARC and Subwoofers - A quick review @m-db I'm using a large Hsu 15" but forgot the model number. I used the AM Acoustics room mode simulator. There were only 2 or 3 locations I could put it in and the simulator let me pick the lesser evil. I'm using miniDSP however for the subwoo... | |
| Tweeters with or without fluid? It’s fallen pretty much out of favor. The biggest advantage today is higher power handling, which for home listening is usually not a big concern. I doubt most home tweeters ever see more than 3 W honestly. One big disadvantage is that it dries o... | |
| sources for DIY speaker cables Parts Connexion has a variety of high end cables and plugs but I ended up using all silver plated Viborg from Amazon and Mogami from a variety of sources. I think I got the thin Mogami sound runner 2 conductor speaker cables from Parts Express and... | |
| Why I Sold My Aurender N200 Well if the additional cable matters that much to you, get the $2 upgrade here. I should point out that one of the most important features for me is the 4kV galvanic isolation which provides best type of Ethernet surge protection. An important ... | |
| … "And the government shall be upon his shoulders" If you follow the Bible you’ll find that this was the ultimate goal of God. Jesus was offered up as an atonement for man’s sins. Whether that is true or not for the faith in the text of the libretto this does not seem to be the intended interpr... | |
| … "And the government shall be upon his shoulders" Speaking from a historical and literary context, the OP has inadvertently hit upon one of the great tensions of the old and new testament with this quote. Messiah was composed in 1741 during the reign of George II and takes this text from the Kin... | |
| DSD with Delta-Sigma, PCM with R2R? SACDs? The article also explains how, on the other hand, many hi-res recordings are manipulated such that editing by the original producer as well as later digital transformations from one resolution to another wind up degrading the original sound quali... | |
| Auditioned Wilson Sabrina X vs B&W 803D4 and Shocked Hi OP, First, really happy that you found what you were looking for. If you put Mc + B&W together and you like that sound I doubt anything else would make you happy. However, to me, this is a very colorful combination which I would not be ha... | |
| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design Implementation is everything. However, while designing a new speaker, choosing a 3-way may remove a number of constraints a similar 2-way would have, related to distortion and dispersion and dynamic range. I wrote more about this here. Having s... |
