| Am I missing something here? For speakers, listen to Monitor Audio as one brand I am super entranced with. | |
| Am I missing something here? Those are some interesting pieces! :) The wide baffle speakers of Snell are among my favorites, and this seems of similar pedigree. I have to agree with your overall take, a lot of really thin and gutless is sold as "refined." But sometime soon I ... | |
| Question about in home AV DIY calibration. I think it's a very good option. The one issue I have run into isn't the quality of the DVD/Blu Ray but some options on TV's are not normally available. Let's face it, with most TV's you are making a judgement call no matter what. You may want to ... | |
| Difference between ESS Sabre Burr Brown Wolfson DACs Implementation matters more. In the older generations, BB was my favorite. In some modern implementations as well.One thing to listen for, the best modern DAC's are TERRIFIC with Redbook playback. The mediocre one's only sound great with 96/24 or ... | |

| Reasonable RCA Connectors? Check out Parts Connexion.I used to use Cardas, but man, what a pain to solder to. | |
| Classe CA-2300 voltage change There are two types of voltage conversion:Easy and Hard.If it's easy, any local electronic repair person could do it in half an hour. If it's hard, you are better off getting an external power converter.Best,E | |

| Do I need a specific type of 4 gauge wire for my monoblock amp? As I read it, all fuses are on the amp. https://pdf.crutchfieldonline.com/ImageBank/v19990822101700/Manuals/109/109BP1200.PDFIf you want to be save, the specs say the maximum current draw is 113 A, so 120A would be acceptable. | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. Change your electronics. | |
| Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!! You could go with an integrated with a nice loudness control, like some of the current Yamaha offerings, if you want to keep your speakers, otherwise I find that some of the Dynaudios fit this profile. | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. blocking the ports prevents excessive cone excursion below the tuning frequency. You'll loose a little bass, but this is a temporary, reversible experiment. | |
| Mr. Obvious (?) - digital source (burn) Um, one major variable is whether you are using a lossy or lossless format. Losless formats like ALAC, FLAC, WAV, should produce a bit-identical replay to the CD they were ripped from. MP3, Ogg, and others do not. There is some argument as to whet... | |
| Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp Ideally it will make no difference.But, if you are going to use USB, with asynchronous playback, then it may, if only because your DAC will control the clock. I think the difference would normally be small, especially with modern DACs. Better to f... | |
