| Studio monitors, powered, use at home to stream from smart phone? Well, JBL speakers sound exactly like JBL speakers. Modern Yammie studio monitors are really quite impressive for their neutrality. | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) You know, I could just be a jerk and not point out this current listing that is half your budget: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis8fi77-krell-kav-250a-recapped-90-day-warranty-solid-state | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) Used: Krell KAV or Theta.Also consider some Class D amps depending on your speakers. | |
| Use a car woofer for home audio cabinet.. any downside? Seems this org has a direct replacement, reasonably priced.http://www.bkelec.com/HiFi/Drive_Units/Audio_Drive/B1_Rep.htmBest,E | |
| Copper vs Optical Fibre Well, I have read some measurements suggesting coaxial has better jitter reduction, but not sure how much, or that it is universal. This may be less important as DAC's in the last 5-8 years have much better jitter reduction overall than previous g... | |
| Copper vs Optical Fibre @amg56 You might want to check out Meridian and see what they are offering lately. They have always been at the bleeding edge of digital, powered speakers. | |
| Copper vs Optical Fibre History really. In terms of analog transmission of audio, copper is good enough, and plenty easy to modulate. Fiber is relegated to digital only. So there's that. Next, if we are talking digital, while the USB standard evolved, the S/PDIF spec got... | |
| Speakers least affected by room acoustics Generally, horn, ESL and line sources. All of them control dispersion vertically. But still, room acoustics matter. A combination of tight dispersion control plus good room acoustic choices where you can control it is the best choice.Reach out to ... | |
| Soooooooo many possibilities...! You should of course try the McIntoshs but possible alternatives in tube are Conrad Johnson, Ayre and Prima Luna. Of course, make sure you have adequate room treatment first. GIK Acoustics can help you with that. Best,Erik | |
| I need help setting up Two Reference power conditioner 20Is on the same circuit Yes, you can plug both in, but that circuit is still only 20 Amps. You won’t get 40 Amps though. For that, you’ll need an electrician. Best,E | |
| Now, I'm confused. +1 lpretiringGet advice from GIK Acoustics. Great products at affordable prices.In general, you need to treat your room in the dimension you are lacking. If you need width, treat the sides. If you need depth, treat behing speaker and listener. | |
| I need help setting up Two Reference power conditioner 20Is on the same circuit Hi Eric,Since you only have a single 20A outlet, you could use a single Furman 20IS with a power strip.You are correct in that you only have 4 high current outputs. These use the series mode noise and surge protection, but not the balanced voltage... | |
| re capping Absolutely replace your big caps. They are the one's that will do the most damage. You will also see smaller caps, in the range of 100uF to 1,000 uF electrolytics on each audio board. Those are also good candidates. Make sure to pay attention to t... | |
| Decibel question You can get a calibrated microphone for "normal" phones from Parts Express. The imm6 I think it is called. Second, how high you can turn up the volume is a matter of speaker efficiency, impedance and amplifier "size" or power output at that impeda... | |
| Active bass filter. For the first room, the Loki will do.For the second, consider bass traps + miniDSP |
