| Please help with super basic questions about Mp3 players I really like Fiio. | |
| Processor recommendation I had an old Theta Casanova. LOVED IT! I was hoping they'd make a Casanova II or the Supernova, but they did not, they went with the Casablanca III HD or something for a lot more cash than I wanted to spend. Best,E | |
| Processor recommendation Love your speakers. :) REALLY disliked the Emotiva. It sounded exactly like you would expect middle of the road import gear to sound like. Quiet, reliable, and bone dull. I always wanted to try one of the NAD units now that they are making them pr... | |
| Impedance matching with tube amp To clarify,If you go too low in the ratio, say 5:1 you run into the real possibility that the mismatch will cause significantly non-flat frequency response. Sometimes the volume control settings can radically alter the frequency response in minima... | |
| Missing the Old Days Honestly I have a difficult time recommending subs to the average music lover. The total cost of ownership (TCO) can be quite high, and leave the listener pretty dissatisfied if not very carefully thought out. A lot more work than most want to kno... | |
| Impedance matching with tube amp The ratio is a minimum. Ideally you want a minimum of 10:1. Anything over that is fine. Best,Erik | |
| Woofer-Assisted Wide Band Hi @roberjman - Very similar idea indeed. | |
| Recommendation for a modern Duntech Sovereign 2001 replacement I think the Revel's depend on your space. I love the MA silver and gold lines. The Gold in particular are technically among the most advanced and accurate speakers available. Whether you like them... is another story. :) I'm just super impressed b... | |
| NOS DAC Warmth Yes, preamps can add a lot of sweetness. I like older Conrad Johnson for that reason. :) Best,E | |
| Recommendation for a modern Duntech Sovereign 2001 replacement Monitor Audio and Revels should be on your list to audition, as should perhaps some electrostatics like Sanders Sound. | |
| Whatever I Did, It Worked. I love GIK, and love their bass traps. I often say good room treatment can make speakers sound a lot bigger and more powerful. You cleaned up the room modes, and helped the room drain off bass faster. This means smoother frequency response and les... | |
| NAD 1600 Receiver New caps will do that for you. :) | |
| Missing the Old Days Here is a link to one such product from DIY Sound Group:https://www.diysoundgroup.com/sentinel-15.htmlLots there I am confident you will love.(BTW, I am not a horn guy myself, just based on your tastes, I think this is for you.)Best,E | |
| Missing the Old Days Hey Big John! Maybe you need to dip your toes into DIY! I know a few horn loaded 2-way speaker kits that won't set you back that much which kick tons of ass. If those are too ambitious, the venerable Seas A26 kit from Madisound is also a great opt... | |
| Purpose Built & Sold Sound Absorption Drapes & Curtains? Well, for curtains, I strongly suggest you listen to them. :) No, really, put your ear up to them and as you get closer you'll hear them get very quiet. You can try this at home with materials you have now. A comforter, pillor or curtain. You'll h... |
