| 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 | |
| Monitor Audio PL300 Series 1 I had an Emotiva HT processor and it sounded thin and lifeless. Honestly you are better off running your Oppo 205 directly through a Parasound Halo P7 multi channel pre. The built in room correction was not worth it. I have heard really good thing... | |
| subwoofer question......what size sub ? I'm a big fan of Hsu.You could do just about any driver size. Depends mostly on output and room size. The bigger issues are integration. Room acoustics, placement and EQ make or break a sub installation.For this reason, smaller subs with higher -3... | |
| Active bass filter. Hi Nick,Depends how techie you want to get. Can you give us a little more info about your system? Models, what other speakers, your preamp, etc. In general, the two good but reasonably affordable suggestions are miniDSP or Schiit LokiBest,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Exactly like the A21 and A23, the the JC1 is high-bias Class A/AB. (model names in sentence above are links)Good amplifiers. Have not heard the JC1, just the A23 and A21. I have to agree, "class warfare" in this context is meaningless and with lit... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Parasound Fatiguing?? Hahahaa. Some of the warmest A/B amps out there. Run Class A most of the time. And yeah, I've heard _some_ pure class A amps they beat hands down. Unless of course you measure sound quality by money spent. Then of course, onl... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Sorry bluesy41,My experience does not match yours at all. I've heard many Class A which I liked less than the Parasound A/B amps, and those are the equal of the Class Ds I have now. I think the idea that all Class A is better than all class D is n... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! OR.....Ayre monoblocks for totally different reasons. The CJ8's are juicy as hell. The Ayre warm to dark. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I just wanted to say I have been pure Class D for about 3 years and I have never, not once thought to myself "I'm listening to a switching amplifier." Now, are there things I want differently? Sometimes. Can I attribute that to Class D. Nope, not ... | |
| Does It have to be loud? I think it's really important to listen to speakers like you'll use them. Some speakers are much better at low volumes, others at high volumes, and much of this has to do with their tuning. Also, room acoustics make a big difference here. Poor roo... | |
| MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote! Yes, now. A decade ago, it would have been great. Why? Internet streaming is a lot faster and DAC's are a lot better sounding with Redbook. It has arrived rather late to really make a difference. |
