| ICEpower 1200AS - More details emerge Thanks Tweak! I'm not interested in buying them at this point in time, I'm awash with Class D amps I am not using. :) Just wanted to correct the record. Best,E | |
| RE: Suggestions for Tidal Streaming problems caused by Internet Connection Problems Want to add a little: Apartment dwellers often suffer from excess amount of WiFi congestion. Too many routers in too close range competing for a limited number of channels. Get a smart phone app. On Android I use Wi-Fi Analyzer, which shows me all... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? @tweak1 You misspelled my name, but I'm guessing you are talking about me. :) Sorry, I meant "current production Parasound pre's." Never heard the P3.Best,Erik | |
| LG V30 - Impressions? Hi @loomisjohnson Good info! Thanks for replying. You were comparing to the HTC M-10? My favorite IEM's are 30ish Ohms. What happens if it senses a low impedance?Best,Erik | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? @tweak1 - I agree totally that the P 5 is way overpriced, but it s price includes dealer margins I meant that relative to other active pres. The P7 also includes dealer margins but it is a great value. By value I mean price vs. performance. You... | |
| Please help me find perfect dac for me I had the ARC DAC 8, and replaced it with the Mytek Brooklyn.The 8 was waaay too laid back for me. The Mytek is fantastic.I've read reviews of the previous Mytek, the DSD and the Brooklyn sounds nothing like those. I highly recommend it. Best,E | |
| Interconnects and non-believers Clear - that your comment is amusing, entertaining or light hearted in some way when it really just doesn't make any sense at all Those who use punctuation are taken more seriously by me. Especially if you are discounting my argument. ... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers I don’t always deny there’s a difference, but I often deny the difference is worth the cost. :) Instead of swapping out tens of thousands of dollars in gear, room acoustics and tone controls are much more cost effective options. :) Also, maybe mak... | |
| Where can I buy a Stax amp power converter? Just looked at some pics online. I suspect this model is "internally convertible." Meaning, with some know-how the transformer can be switched. This is quite common for manufacturers. They buy 1 model of transformer, which they then set up one way... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? The P5 is a seriously over priced preamp, and not nearly the value of the P7. I wonder how much of what you are hearing is just how much better op amps and output stages are now? That is, I don't think you are hearing passive preamps get much bett... | |
| Removing spikes... Now my speakers sing I think the issue you are having is rocking. One thing everyone with medium weight speakers should try is adding mass to the top of the speaker, near the front. It reduces the ability of the woofers to rock the cabinet back and forth. Spikes make ... | |
| DACs and Clean, Well Regulated AC Power By the way, did you know you can use an external power supply with the Mytek Brooklyn as a cost effective upgrade? https://amzn.to/2JaMNjfNot only did it help the sound, it also seems to have helped with reliability. I don't have quite as many gli... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 12 Mono? What's your thought Love them to absolute bits. Great, effortless bass, tremendous soundstage and musically seductive. Also colorful liars. :) I have truly never enjoyed listening to an amp more than those. I may never afford them, or afford to live with a pair thoug... | |
| Bass trapping - corners or walls? GIK Acoustics for the win. Extremely effective, pretty, cost sensitive. Look as well for their soffit traps. | |
| Is this MQA news a big deal? @ptss My statement: 2 - DRM prevents copying. MQA does not do this. I can make copies and send them to others. If they have an MQA capable player, it will play at full resolution. Was specifically about Digital Rights Management, which MQA has not... |
