| Oppo105 crashing? My Oppo freezes about every three weeks if I leave it turned on. Make sure you have the latest firmware, and also make sure you allow it to stay ventilated. That processor in there gets hot! If it has wifi, try switching to wired. | |
| Triggering mono blocks without trigger capability Furman makes a number of conditioners with trigger inputs. Works really well.Basically a few of the outlets respond to the trigger signal when enabled. Best,E | |
| B+W 801D upgrade crossover Hey OP! B&W started using top grade Mundorf crossover parts by the time this speaker came around. I really wouldn't do this unless you actually wanted to get into more advanced things, like converting it to fully active, or re-thinking some of... | |
| Putting your components inbetween your speakers. @han_n No, this is just a test, but diffusers are different than absorbers, and this is mostly an absorber tets. :) My last tip: Your imaging improves in the dimension you improve room treatment. If you want more depth, deal with thigns behind the... | |
| Putting your components inbetween your speakers. @gdhal Thank you for your kind words. | |
| Putting your components inbetween your speakers. Also, kind of like physical therapy, you can make up deficiencies in one area by improving another. There is no absolute answer to how to put gear in your home. As a _rough_ example, filling corners with dampening materials may somewhat make up fo... | |
| Putting your components inbetween your speakers. Well, my point was not that you should go to TJ Maxx and buy more blankets. :) My point was to use your own ears to listen and experiment. If YOU can’t hear a difference, doesn’t matter what I think. Why ask others to tell you what you can hear? :... | |
| Putting your components inbetween your speakers. Yes. It is true. It's not just the imaging but the overall timbre as well. I really think all audiophiles should do two things in their lifetimes: 1 - Build a pair of speakers2 - Throw a bunch of pillows and blankets around their speakers on the f... | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal Sorry, what I meant is that their collection of old jazz and classical recordings is pretty impressive. | |
| A better lamp cord for my stereo equipment? Put snap-on ferrite beads on them. Very inexpensive. Can help clean out EMI/RFI clutter. Check the internal diameter:http://amzn.to/2Dig2Pc | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal Try them on twitter. I am more entranced by the amazing back catalog than I am the user experience. Honestly I have been having streaming issues with them of late. :( Erik | |
| Have I got it "right"? Yeah for a good headphone amp. :) | |
| Dynamic compression in speakers themselves? While on the subject of woofers: There is no substitute for size when it comes to dynamics, extension and low distortion. Properly integrated into a speaker system and room, they are magical, and a rare thing indeed. The idea that big woofers are ... | |
| Dynamic compression in speakers themselves? @mtrot - Magico has all their crossovers made by Mundorf. Quality commensurate with speakers grade. Focal - Seems to OEM Solen/SCR mid-grade stuff for the most part. Horrible sounding caps IMHO.B&W - Also a Mundorf user (but AFAIK build their ... | |
| Dynamic compression in speakers themselves? Hi,The only review site I know that measures this routinely is here:http://www.soundstagenetwork.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16&Itemid=...Like you, I am incredibly sensitive to this. Best,E |
