| Finding source of sibilance It is not clear to me that you know the issue is from the turntable. Do you have another source which does not exhibit this?Erik | |
| Home Theater Processor I have to say, I really like the NAD modular system a great deal. | |
| Recommend some Jazz to me Trombone Shorty | |
| Do i belong here Cobbone1 - Something modern. Schiit or Mytek work really well with Squeezebox. :) Older DAC's usually need a little help like a Wyred4Sound reclocker to sound their best. I have used a SB touch from 44/16 to 96/24 with great results. Best,E | |
| Effect Ohms Have on db and Speaker Sensitivity I'm not sure if this is why you could be confused, but some driver manufacturers do offer 2 versions of the same woofer: an 8 and 4 Ohm.The 4 Ohm allows twice the current to flow in the coil, which means 2x the power for the same V will be dissipa... | |
| Firewire immune to jitter? I had the ARC DAC 8 - I would not judge most modern DAC's based on them at all. Up to and including the DAC 8 they did not have "great" clocks, but only good clocks. There are a number of DAC's which outclass them by far in the USB realm. Also, th... | |
| Effect Ohms Have on db and Speaker Sensitivity First, be aware no spec gets fudged more than sensitivity! :) Most speakers are rated 3-5 dB higher than they actually are. dB at 1W / 1m is "efficiency" and varies by load impedance, which as stated above, is 2.83V at 8 Ohms. Think of it as "powe... | |
| Popping when kids are jumping Disconnect everything but your amplifier. Dance around and see if you still get the popping. That reduces your issue to power or amp. | |
| Popping when kids are jumping How old is your home? This could be a home wiring issue. | |
| Replace my DAC or not? mbiondo - I was also a fan of a vintage Theta Casanova, which for a while held it's own. Something changed over the past 5 years, specifically with the perfomance of RedBook sources. That is where I think the real delta between vintage and modern ... | |
| Nuforce STA200 @mrdecibel Then I stand corrected. :) Erik | |
| Nuforce STA200 NuForce uses a hybrid approach, very similar to Carver's idea, and << cough >> borrowed by Yamaha in the EEEngine design. Not sure if Yamaha ever licensed it or waited for patents to expire. The voltage + and - rails are Class D, and t... | |
| Terminals spade type loosening the binding posts +1 for locking banana plugs. Furutech plugs suck, stick with WBT and others. Also, avoid Rhodium, it is just too hard. Best,E | |
| Terminals spade type loosening the binding posts I know this problem. The issue is actually that the nuts on the speaker AND/or the spades are too hard. If they were soft, they would deform just a touch and grip. What you want to use are spring-loaded WBT terminals like these:http://partsconnexi... |
