| Should I upgrade my integrated amplifier to a Parasound integrated A23? The Parasound integrated (Halo Integrated) or the non-integrated stereo A23 are both very nice sounding and stiff sounding amps. They are quite neutral though, perhaps a smidge warm. Both very good deals. Best,Erik | |
| I think I need more bass traps, where to place them?? Remember the soffits can be hung up where the walls meet the ceilings as well. :) Reflection points don't work all that much for < 100 Hz where the worst issues will occur.Also, with enough bass traps, EQ can become effective with nulls. :) | |
| Best sounding transistors Whatever happened to MOSFETS? wheren't they going to fix everything transistor related? Just asking. :) | |
| Looking for suggestions No one believes me, but the little Parasound Zdac v2 is quite a performer and in your price range.Best,Erik | |
| Which Processor? Good analysis.Slew rate is often touted, but the cheapest Op amp you can buy still has a slew rate capable of 100kHz or higher frequencies. It's a little over-hyped spec IMHO.Best,Erik | |
| Which Processor? Excuse me, I meant to say the only "affordable" modular units. Of courses there is Theta and Digisat, but sky high prices for either and Theta's upgrade history is spotty in terms of staying current. Anthem has sold many processors claiming to be ... | |
| Which Processor? Hi everyone,I'm just curious why there's no mention of NAD's master series. They are the only units I know of with truly modular and upgradable construction, that actually gets upgraded! :) I've not heard them though, but occasionally they come on... | |
| Adjust meters If you are very lucky, there may be an adjustment trim pot near the meters to adjust. | |
| Subwoofer cables - are they the same as normal analogue interconnects? Yes, they are the same unless they are very expensive, in which case they are identical. :D :D :D | |
| I think I need more bass traps, where to place them?? Contact GIK acoustics for help, and you may need to place your speakers like they were 2 subs. What I mean is, you may need to place 1 speaker, and then look for the best location for the second. Use a mic to find the locations that have the wors... | |
| Downsizing I should also point out that while MTM designs have narrower dispersion, they also have more lobing. Being off axis of the tweeter can be a bigger deal than for a 2-way. So it's good to solicit listener opinions. I really like the LM-1C but can't ... | |
| Downsizing Also, there's an MTM kit designed by Dr. Joseph D'Appolito somewhere in the Parts Express speaker gallery you may want to check out as well. From my memory, the LM-1C was far more neutral, but again, have only heard the LM-1's, and when you are th... | |
| Downsizing I think if you have a small room, and using a sub, any of the three kits we've discussed will be really nice. :) | |
| Downsizing Dual woofers still go as low as 1 woofer, but have more dynamic range. Lots of people like that Dayton tweeter but I haven't heard them. If that's what you are looking for, the matching LM-1C is also an MTM. Check it!https://speakermakersjourne... | |
| Hearing Aid An EQ would also work. If you are all digital, putting one before your DAC will be inaudible. Best,Erik |
