| Slappy here. Been a long time, have some audio source questions. Room acoustics and an EQ for your sub. It sounds mostly like you got a little too flat. Consider Tidal. Lossless music, with a deep catalog of classical, jazz, pop and modern. Best,Erik | |
| RCA Shorting Plugs I have to warn you, what you are describing is as much about training your mind and brain as it is anything else. It is possible to seek this endlessly. I used to be a movie projectionist. I would see dirt and scratches on films to the point I was... | |
| Leather couch, leather love seat or single wooden chair There is nothing lonelier than an audiophile alone in a cave, so do everything you can for the two seat solution. Your choice of speaker matters here. May I suggest Revel as an excellent speaker for couples, though they are not unique, but please ... | |
| Magico A3 @yyzsantabarbara In terms of an office speaker, just keep in mind, the S3 requires a ton of side-space to sound its best, I imagine the A3 will too, so be sure to check that out. On the other hand, the improved sensitivity and bass hopefully makes... | |
| Magico A3 Well, this is interesting. It's a few grand cheaper than the S1 Mk. II, which was a pretty odd speaker in some ways, but keeps the very smooth, very wide dispersion drivers, and significantly improves on the sensitivity. Would be interesting to kn... | |
| Differences in sound in Parasound P3 and P5 I'm wondering if you should not be comparing the P3 and P7 instead though. The P7 is a better preamp than the P5 by far, even if you only use it for 2 channel. | |
| Preamp - Processor for 2 channel music Parasound P7 has built in bass management, even if you only use it for 2 channel music. | |
| B&W 702s or Revel F208s I dont know what @dweller means either... but I will always prefer Revel's over B&W's based on the smoothness and wide dispersion of the mid to treble range. You however really should listen for yourself. :) Listen to Monitor Audio in same pri... | |
| Best option for Amp upgrade... Sell it, and move on. Hmmm, thoughts. What about Class D? NuForce and Bel Canto, among others, get excellent reviews. Tubes, used CJ Premier 11 or 8. Ayre is also something you should consider. | |
| Amp upgrade / Did Classe go out of business Consider the latest NAD Class D HT amps, as well as the ATI selections. Best,E | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? Sorry @georgehifi , what is EPDR? I looked at the Stereophile measurements (which I do trust, unlike the subjective reviews), and while pretty bad for a full-range dynamic speaker, I only see a drop to 2 Ohms in the bass, with a moderate phase ang... | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? @willemj wrote:A flat frequency response is crucial for a natural representation of the music. You don’t want the system to artificially boost or depress certain frequencies, and hence change the sound from what it was. I think you should buy what... | |
| Systems for a Geodesic Dome So you can actually find apps which will help you measure the signal strength as well as tell you how congested your wifi environment is. Check the 5 GHz, it may be uncluttered. | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? It's not a matter of the first few watts. It is a matter of how the electrical frequency response changes based on the speaker. A perfect amplifier has a flat electrical FR, regardless of the speaker. A weak amp may have it's FR adulterated by the... | |
| Systems for a Geodesic Dome I think Sono is a fine choice. The issue with anything these days is WiFi vs. wired. Have a plan for getting full coverage and avoiding network congestion. Best,E |
