| Room acoustical treatments GIK Acoustics is awesome. Ask them for help. | |
| re capping Recapping is most important with high voltage devices like power amps. If they go, they can take out a lot of the amp with them. Especially important if you have expensive tubes, or irreplaceable transistors. 30 years is a good threshold. Line le... | |
| Asking for Help with Digital Solution I think you are making this far too complicated. Deal with room acoustics first, get a good AC noise cancelling solution like Furman. Separate your digital devices power from analog. Best,Erik | |
| Phasing Room acoustics are everything. Contact GIK Acoustics. As for phase, use a 1.5 to 9 V battery. Check that when you connect the battery the woofer moves in the same direction on both speakers. If your speaker is bi-wireable, repeat this test on each... | |
| Audiocap Theta Audyn True Copper Mundorf Supreme As with everything, check the physical sizes! The Audyn TC caps are huge for the uF's. Of course, always check the cap V and replace only with equal or greater values of V ratings. Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @georgehifi And no one is more invested in making sure they know you don't like Class D than you are. Best,Erik | |
| Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers Hey Granny,I encourage you and your son to check out the Parts Express forums:http://techtalk.parts-express.com/and their project gallery: http://projectgallery.parts-express.com/as well as the DIYAudio multiway form here:http://www.diyaudio.com/f... | |
| Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker? Vandersteens with built in sub. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! The esteemed Mr. Pass has done so much for the DIY and audiophile community that I absolutely loathe to criticize him or his works in an open forum, especially since he is not the one participating, george is. Instead, I will only say that you sho... | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) I really think the Parasound Halo range is underrated, still, among linear amplifiers. Beyond that, on the very high end, Ayre. On the mid-range I have been rather impressed by Arcam receivers and integrateds. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! This is all great discussion but doesn’t it come down to your ears, budget and preference for the love of music. Budget and listening preference will ultimately be the deciding factor. Yes, oh my Goddess, it’s like we are twins...If person A has ... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @cleeds I’m perfectly OK with you not liking a class of products. That’s not what I’m talking about. It is the notion that Class D switching speeds are the cause, and that someday they’ll be fixed that irritates me. It’s a type of prejudice not bo... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I still here the same fear obfuscation and doubt thrown at Class D amplifiers, without meaningful research behind it. One of the biggest: Class D can't be as good as (blah blah) until the switching frequencies are above x Hz. With zero objective e... | |
| Best subwoofer below 40Hz for Magnepan .7? The Schiit Loki is an interesting alternative. Unfortunately, having measured a few different subs in a few different rooms, it's going to be a little limited. I mean, it's worth the $150, but often in a sub there are 2-3 narrow bands which need t... | |
| Home Theater Processor Sorry, I could care less about Atmos. :) Best,E |
