| 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... | |

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... | |
| To bridge or run conventionally If you bridge, you turn 2 channels into 1. So, you need 4 amp channels to produce 2 speakers worth of output. Best,E | |
| Evaluating a system - what do you listen for? My first: Effortless listening. After this tonal balance and lastly dynamic rangeBy effortless listening I mean, I don't feel like I have to interpret or filter out anything. Listen to a tape recording of people in an office, and you'll suddenly h... | |
| Oppo Ceasing production I'm very sorry to hear this. Not always a fan of all their products, but I certainly love my BD player. | |
| NOS DAC Warmth I don't think these generalities apply at all, but if you want a very warm DAC, check out the ARC DAC 8 or 9. Besides cost, I can't imagine a good reason to buy a DAC more than 5 years old right now. I _really_ love the DACs that have come out in ... | |
| No sound on Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ with Bypass in Off mode Check the volume control, it's probably all the way down | |
| Internet Radio: Good music that sounds good, who do you like? @schubert - Were you actually going to name the station? Maybe post a link? ;-) | |
| Hum in Sub When you say a second setup, is it in a different room? And exactly what do they share? Do you move the turntable or more? Check the cables between your cartridge and pre. Gently touch the tonearm cable as well. See if you can cause the problem me... |
