| directional speakers ATC is not directional. They do have very small waveguides but it’s a very small mid and they are very wide dispersion. They are very much set and forget, not varying a lot by location. My comment was based on the specs for those mids with thos... | |
| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble @minorl I encourage you to step up your game a little. Gated and blended responses are far better than pink noise, which you get with Room EQ Wizard and a calibrated microphone or OmniMic. You'll get a far better idea of what you are hearing tha... | |
| What am I looking for in a Processor Hey OP, I do think that for your budget you are making things far too complicated. I sense the desire to really get high end but also have to keep the budget low, and that's fine but it means you end up with a lot of cables and mismatched speake... | |
| Best musical center channel under $300 The Hsu HC-1 is $350 I believe. | |
| Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated Funny how we all hear different. I have owned the Pass 60 and I now own a Pass 250 and neither sounded mechanical. True, and personally I am OK with that. I just felt these amps needed to be hears by the purchaser, really ANY amp should be.... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 w/ NAD M33 I'd be surprised if you need more power, but consider room treatment. Dampening extra reflections can really help the bass bloom. | |
| Questioning my Oppo Sonica dac? Why aren’t you using USB out? That’s the highest resolution port out of the ifi. Check the manual on the ifi Zen to make sure the port you are using supports the resolution you want. | |
| JL Audio Fathom I wanted to come back to this after some thoughts. One of the very important reasons JL subs sound so good is the quality of the built-in room correction. I really like the choices it makes, but at the same time you can do the same with a microp... | |
| Handling Heavy Amps I have a single 60 lb beast on a Butcher Block Acoustics rack. If I had dual mono's I'd put them on pedestals on the floor. A hand truck of course is good for maneuvering, but having a rack that is open enough and strong enough really helps thing... | |
| Quite a few Bricasti M21 DACs for sale cheap They are for sale cheap because they are garbage, let me take one off your hands for $2k..... 🤣 | |
| Titanium Voice Coils - where to get best price? OP: DIYaudio dot com OK, so you first need to know something about why all drivers are different, require different cabinets and crossovers, impedance curves, etc. It's very rare that you can find a drop-in replacement for a driver and I've ne... | |
| How well does Tidal through Roku work? I use Tidal and Roku all the time, but not via HDMI, what is your use case?? This seems like a very unusual request. | |
| It's your streamer, not your modem @8th-note I'm doing eveything wrong. I stream through my Asus ROG laptop computer which is connected to my network through wifi. I hook up the laptop to my Berkeley Alpha USB/Alpha Reference DAC Series 2 MQA, via cheap USB cable. Well, certai... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? @mvanwoert Google "Roon buffer size" and you'll find several useful discussions about this. Open up the Roon ap, right click on your DAC / streamer and then scroll to the bottom and look under advanced options. | |
| It's your streamer, not your modem @bruce19 I see your point. To be clear, I'm not advocating for a more expensive streamer, just streamers with better buffers, and honestly I have no idea who they are. It's not a specification I often see published or mentioned in reviews. Doll... |
