| Best used DAC for $250? Used Theta Casanova. :) Especially good at 96/24 | |
| Best subwoofer below 40Hz for Magnepan .7? The biggest challenge in adding any subwoofer is room integration. I know you want to have 20 Hz response, but I wouldn't worry about that as your primary issue. The room response itself can extend or impede the behavior of a sub. IMHO, your speak... | |
| How can Wilson Audio speakers sound that good if they are using OEM drivers? Honestly, this is a really funny, but fascinating thread. Not too long ago, a poster asked why do so many conversations devolve into technology, this post is all about technology, but only superficially. The OP assumes there are absolute improveme... | |
| SB Acoustics 12” SB34NRXL75-8 Come over to the DIY forum. You'll find lots of speaker builders there, and it's easier to communicate with the images in your posts.http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/or here:http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/subwoofers/ | |
| 802d or 800d I'm not a fan of modern B&W, but the OP has a right to make him/herself happy as can be. If that's the sound you like, go for it. Best,E | |

| 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. | |
