| Really bad sounding power cables ? Thanks for the clarification, GR! | |
| Anyone Having Problem With Cardas Clear Beyond XL Power Cables Falling Out Of Equipment Switch to a lighter cable, as well as replace your wall receptacle. Be aware, even if you get a stronger wall receptacle, you can end up stripping the box itself. If those cables weren't so pricey I'd suggest having the plugs replaced. Cardas does... | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? As Al points out, it doesn’t work that way. While the speaker crossover will reduce the current, the amp will still produce the full spectrum voltage, minimizing overhead. If you are passionate about doing this though, there may be a tweak. IF and... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs I have not heard the Esoteric but I have heard the Marantz. It was suffering from severe digititis listening to Tidal sources. However, there was a crap load wrong with the dealer's set up, so you may have better luck. | |
| Blown Mid Driver +1 millercarbonThat doesn't sound like the classic "blown" driver, when it gets over powered. It just old age. | |
| Full range vs monitors with sub My advice is really, if this is your first time, stay simple. Stick to affordable full range speakers with limited bass. 2.5 way speakers are ideal. They are unusually efficient, and won't waken the dragons in the lowest octaves. Think of this as... | |
| Full range vs monitors with sub Done well a sub/satellite combo, or really any speaker with a sub, can be glorious. Done poorly or poorly matched to your room, absolute garbage. When you evaluate a sub, you need to evaluate it’s room correction. That, to me , is the single most ... | |
| New, Geostationary Orbit Demagnetization Service @nonoise sorry we could, but cant' distinguish between food and living animal matter. | |
| New, Geostationary Orbit Demagnetization Service @uberwaltz We demagnetize your portable devices too, so your headphones will sound 20x better. :D | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? If there is no active crossover, your amp still has to produce the same voltage swings, and therefore needs to have the same voltage rails and rated for similar power, however it may not need a lot of current/low impedance capabilities.Using an ac... | |
| Beginner choosing amp help OP: Just FYI, the Luxman 505 is on sale because vII is out. I would call the dealer to see how many are left or that choice will beade for you.I scored the last 507ux in the US. 😀 | |
| Graduating to separates need help Mytek Manhattan II or even the Brooklyn really will beat it, whether they have the flexibility you are looking for in a pre/DAC I don't know. | |
| Advice for Neophyte Assembling a System Well ....For the music you like, have you thought about vintage or reproduction horns? You could get plenty of output, use a smaller integrated, possibly tubed, and have plenty left over for room treatment and power.https://greatplainsaudio.com/B... | |
| Any “value” competitor streamers vs Bluesound Node 2i? If you want to get berried, Volumio | |
| Getting new Preamp If you are bi-amping, check the recommended minimum impedance of the preamp. Assuming both amps have a 30k input impedance, bi-amping will cut that in half. |
