| which is a better match for best results Electronics can in no way favor a certain form of music! Can't happen- no how no way.Oh? That's funny. | |
| Repair diagnosis for cdp with humming tranny Try it in another home. If it goes away, you have DC on your line. The cure for this is to eliminate the source (often digital power supplies, and dimmers) or to get a balanced power supply. Best,E | |
| Review: JM Labs Diva Utopia Be Speaker oh, also, electrolytics in parallel to the drivers are worth replacing, but Axon is actually as good as you can use here. :) They're cheap. Otherwise try Mundorf's bipolar electorlytics for good cost/benefit ratios. | |
| Review: JM Labs Diva Utopia Be Speaker My experience analyzing Focal speakers is similar. They don't need such expensive caps to sound better. Mundorf MKP's work so much better than stock. One thing I discovered in some of their 3-way speakers was deliberately low impedance in the 100-... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! hi @timlub My point, poorly made, was that the quality of the tweeter was pretty subjective, and I had not heard one that was so fantastic it would eliminate any other tweeter from consideration. I consider the plasma tweeter revolutionary in term... | |

| This is juvenile... I don't know, who has low standards?? | |
| Best way to power multiple channels/rooms with an integrated Amp? You know, this is also why they make distribution amps. Something like a Parasound Zamp would work for another zone. | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? +1 aux! Just based on reading this thread, no one has stood up for NAD's HT processors but they have for Classe. I have listed to a few NAD digital products over the past couple of years with mixed experiences. I use a D 3020 in the bedroom, works... | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? I like the M17 V2 technically, but from a sound quality / music no one is rooting for them. | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! You know guys, I've heard the meme that Plasma tweeters are the best in the world, but that's marketing hype. Of course, we can grant that the tweeters have immeasurable moving mass, but the novelty of the technology is not the same as the impleme... | |
| CD ripping for the lower end. There is a belief that the extra and slightly random timings involved in decompressing FLAC, ALAC, etc. cause a degradation in sound quality, while WAV, requiring none of this CPU effort, does not. I have never ever heard this to be true. Especial... | |
| Starting a piCore Logitech Media Server Build! So the good news is that it all went pretty quickly once the case, microSD card and power supply arrived. The Mytek DAC was recognized without rebooting. "squeezelite -l" gave me the right name. put that into the browser config screen and boom, I'... | |
| Active-ready multi-way speakers with speaker terminals for each You should probably discuss this over here: https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/But having an active crossover still requires you to be able to analyze, measure and configure. This is by no means trivial, and is quite a bit of a learning cur... | |
| CD ripping for the lower end. Let's clarify something:Lossless vs. CompressionLossless means the bits played are identical to the bits copied. FLAC and ALAC compress but are lossless. MP3 , Ogg and other formats attain even more compression by throwing away a lot of the data i... |
