| Magicos are chesty For better or for worse, listeners are definitely polarized about Magico speakers, in the way that they were polarized about Thiel 3.6 speakers way back when. I'm not that polarized, really. I think set up well Magico's are pretty nice, but the... | |
| Off grid digital music Tjhe on bit of bad news is I don't know of any turnkey solutiosn for ripping SACDs.You can buy DSD tracks online, but I don't know of any way to take a physical SACD and rip it5. | |
| The invention of measurements and perception Good points. I guess my focus is on the distance between a measurement, which could be done by an automated device, and human perception/value. I agree we've measured jitter for a while, but was that all? Were there some kinds of jitter worse than... | |
| Connecting external drive to play flac files Sound bars are primarily focused on TV. However, several TVs have media players built in. Have you looked into the Sonos version? | |
| The invention of measurements and perception A good example of this is the redbook standard set in the late 70s early 80s for the then emerging CD format. The standard was fine, but it took until the late 90s to figure out that distortion in the time domain (jitter) was a major factor Ji... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification Which measurements, @kosst_amogan for which specific Class D amplifier? Be specific.Most Class D amps measure very well, if not superbly, especially compared to some megabuck Class A amplifier.To write more, it’s not that I am dismissive of specs ... | |
| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? take the crossover out and lower the non polarized cap to the tweeter, if its 1.0uf drop it in half. Please don't. | |
| Looking for a particular amp Boston? Check out Goodwin's So what you are really asking for is an amp with low output impedance and high current output? I can highly recommend the Paraosound line, startint at the A21. The A23 is good too, but may not have the current you need.... | |
| CORNER placement subwoofer(s) GEt the Soffit traps from GIT acooustics. Then use any sub with good room EQ. | |
| Off grid digital music Hi OP! DAC's in the last 10 years are SUPERB. I wouldn't worry so much about their quality / format as much as getting your new music Access to a subscription / internet service is an amazing thing. Having Tidal for instance, i have access to ALL ... | |
| The invention of measurements and perception @spatialkingNot asking ... so much as stating a point of view and inviting others to chime in. Your reply is perfect.E | |
| Question about speaker configuration with current preamp/amp Switch in position VD-H (Standard) • Recommended for transistor amps with strongly load- dependent output-power.This is for tube amps. It sounds like they have an impedance correcting circuit. Nice. | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification Sorry, but we wouldn't even be having this discussion if great class D amps had been around for ages. Judging by the measurements I keep seeing, great class D amps still haven't arrived. That's the first mistake. Look, I use technology a lot. A LO... | |
| Magicos are chesty Maybe Magico's aren't for everyone.......DUDE!!!!!!And that's what makes this hobby fun. :-)E | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification And your old one with the lower switching frequency, will become unsellable junk save for use as a bass amp. Don't need to sell what I'm happy listening to George. Best,E |
