| Amp or speaker issue? I doubt the amp is just too much, but it is possible something is going on with them. I'd have it seen soon, to prevent damage to the speakers. Visually inspect the woofers. With the amp off, check the dust caps and make sure they are still attach... | |
| Affordable Streamer with great Internet Radio, Tidal, Android support? @Laserjock1963 I do! | |
| Affordable Streamer with great Internet Radio, Tidal, Android support? I don't mean to get into a debate over portable devices. All I meant was I have 4 Android devices here and zero Apple portables. | |
| Power - where to start? Mains, chords, conditioner, filter? A power strip with a big coil is the entry level:https://amzn.to/2Ow03TgFurman makes bigger, more expensive units. Look for LiFT and SMP. Shunyata is also a good idea. Power cords need not be very expensive but using shielded for digital/streamers... | |
| Affordable Streamer with great Internet Radio, Tidal, Android support? Let me know how it goes! I'm also thinking of going wiht something based on Volumio | |
| Personal confuser Audio which aspect has the greatest impact on SQ? At best, the swapping of gizmos around is causing the AC line to develop a new noise profile. So, deal with your AC and environmental noise by isolating wall warts and digital devices from linear using coils. Shunyata or Furman. Use shielded (but ... | |
| Noise w/interconnects Oh, put the "ground" at the source, and sometimes it does make a difference in noise.Otherwise, may help to eliminate the source of the noise. Have you added any networky / wifi things or high efficiency lights anywhere?? Best,E | |
| Does a Linn kairm preamp reverse phaze If a bear reads in the forest does anyone take his opinion seriously? Meaning, if you cant' tell by listening, what's the point? | |
| Speakers for restaurant Have you seen the JBL pro powered monitors? Fairly inexpensive, but of course, you already picked up an amp. On the other hand, having powered monitors lets you forget about how many you have on the amp. :) | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? TBC: Sub speaker level in/outs do not include a high pass filter. | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? Easiest: Run full range to mains. Run line level to sub EQ, use sub EQ to integrate. Cons: You don’t get increased output from your main amp. No extra dynamic range. Sometimes a compromise is to plug ported mains. Highest dynamic range, most alter... | |
| Blind Testing is Dead - Long live My Wallet testing. If they are adding 30 lbs of aluminum to a product, it’s overtly marketed as a luxury item. :) 3) High end watch collectors are usually informed buyers. High end audio buyers, not so much. I call BS. I think it’s the same mix. Those who buy a bra... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux PS - I still like my Parasound A23 and the ICEpower 250ASP more than any Pass amp I have heard in recent memory. I just happen to like the Luxman even more. Does this mean Class D and A/B are better than Class A? Absolutely not. It means these spe... | |
| Blind Testing is Dead - Long live My Wallet testing. Can any of my readers imagine a world where we double blind test a T-shirt, or a car? That's also part of what's going wrong here. :) At the same time, are some cables and accessories over priced for their technical merit? Sure, but let me show yo... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux I’m thinking some more about the Luxman vs. my ICEpower 250 ASPs. Very early on in my audiophile kink I was listening to some large Martin Logans powered by a little Sumo amp (one I eventually bought) and the rep replaced the preamp with a Conrad ... |
