| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux Hi @JetterI've always said the ICEpower modules were better than most like to give them credit for. I think the Luxman is a nice upgrade for me. I have a closer, more intimate presentation, power meters and I can consolidate several pieces into on... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. I'm looking forward to Steve Huffman or Stereophile stealing this thread as an article idea, again. | |
| Yamaha integrated amp as3000 vs Pass integrated Luxman ?? Love mine, and never heard a Pass unit I liked. Have not heard the top end Yammies. I've read somewhere though that there is a very big gap between the top end Yammie integrated and the next one down. Luxman has a closer spread between t... | |
| Component isolation I'm not sure whether anything without moving parts requires isolation. Why would it? Can resonances actually convert into electrical signal? If so, can we hear them? Some parts, absolutely. The ringing I described in the phono stage was most li... | |
| Mytek Manhattan II Phono or other options Have you tried running the Manhattan direct into your amp? | |
| Component isolation First, anything with a tube. Next, in order of gain, so phono stage. TBC, it's a real shame there isn't more research and evidence into vibration and solid state devices. Some gear will be more susceptible to microphonics than other gear just by p... | |
| What reviewers have been craving, built in hearing aids with TVs @rocknssStellar idea, if you have something like a miniDSP and you know your losses, easy to do! E | |
| Anyone ever see a speaker with spun copper ports with full range driver? I think I've seen machined metal in Wilsons? The most interesting functional design of a port I've seen were dimples on the B&W ports. | |
| Coupling caps for Rogue m180 darks Audyn Reference VRS Mundorf Supreme Mundorf MKP's are dark, but very smooth. Munforf Supremes are the opposite, and to my ears, saturated with color. Jupiter Copper Foils are wonderfully reviewed, and physically massive. Clarity CSA caps are very smooth, transparent and may physical... | |
| electrical isolation of amp and other gear The Furman unit you have has multiple filtered banks, so you can definitely use it for all your gear. With the DAC, it is recommended by PS Audio, and I concur, to use shielded AC cables to keep the digital component noise emitted down. Even if yo... | |
| PS audio Directstream Junior locked power off for a minute and retry. If it uses an external power supply, check the voltage. | |
| Open Baffles with Subwoofers Try DIYaudio in the full-range or multi-way forum. | |
| DSD vs PCM .. Truth or Myth Nothing has killed DSD and high rez files more than modern DACs. They sound really really good even with Redbook. | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? WireWorld Eclipsed | |
| How many brands use own drivers? @cleeds :I am disturbed that I am the only one here who speaks fluent gibberish! :DSorry, what I meant to say is that Bose does the business task of discovering what consumers besides me will pay for very very well, and it results in table top rad... |
