| Question about filters on speaker cables @Mizike It IS possible, but terribly uncommon and expensive. IT also doesn't give you the full benefits of getting more dynamic range from the amp you are using. Also, since this would be a high-pass filter, you would be adding some rather high ... | |
| Stacking subs Hi Norm,Having 2 subs, assymetrically placed in the room is the best solution since it allows one to fill in the holes left by the other. Having them placed in almost the same location deprives you of this benefit. Having said that, having a sing... | |
| Anyone use a subwoofer system with YG Carmel @rlawry because integration with the room is more difficult as you go down in frequency, so many buy them expecting them to be plug and play. the subs never get integrated correctly and the consumer blames the sub. | |
| First "audiophile" system, now what? Suggestions for best "bang for the buck" upgrade? How is the imaging? Top to bottom? Left to right, front to back? In whichever dimension that is lacking, add diffusers and absorbers. Best,Erik | |
| Anyone use a subwoofer system with YG Carmel Same advice as with any other speaker. Subwoofers are children of the devil. Well integrated, fantastic, and few integrate them well. What they are NOT is a plug and play solution. Best,Erik | |
| What happened to Berkeley Audio Design And I made yet another mistake!I meant to ask that of @ukeleleplayerMy bad again!!Erik | |
| Recommnedations for moderately price balanced IC's, and adaptors to an RCA end Here's a good source for adapters:Parts Connexion Cardas Adapters | |
| Recommnedations for moderately price balanced IC's, and adaptors to an RCA end There are two approaches to converting. One is to simply use the + and - leads as the center and shield in the RCA end. This is the simplest way when your source is balanced. The other is to use a high quality transformer such as from Jensen Tran... | |
| 5% THD to .000 THD SOUND Specs are important to making sure you aren't getting ripped off. It's easy to rate a 35 Watt amplifier as a 100 Watt amplifier if you don't mind 10% distortion. Used to happen very frequently. Accuracy is also not necessarily what you buy. You b... | |
| MQA - One Filter to Rule them All? @mike_in_nc No heresies. I remember HDCD, there was also a Windows decoder, which I once thought about reverse engineering and converting to Java, or C for Linux but lost interest. :) It actually decompiled fairly nicely. I believe Microsoft end... | |
| What happened to Berkeley Audio Design @gammajo Well, personally I get the idea that no one can keep a brick and mortar store open without making money, it's that simple. I'm happy to hear BAD is doing so well in NY too. It makes me wonder though, you can't keep a store open making all... | |
| Help choose best amp/preamp combo? One other thing to try of course is the treble control. I would try turning it down a couple of notches. This depends on how it's implemented though. They aren't all shaped the same. Usually any impedance over 10k is considered high and acceptab... | |
| MQA - One Filter to Rule them All? @mike_in_nc Good points. I'm still waiting to see if there will be an open-source alternative. To my knowledge, you cannot patent or copyright decoding, or a format. You can patent your specific code, but you cannot, for instance, prevent some on... | |
| Sanders Sound Systems 10E - The Genius has done it. Interesting, Roger has never shied away from DSP technology. His panels were quite nice and needed a lot less correction than some other famous brands, so I imagine the combination is pretty stunning. :) Best,Erik | |
| Help choose best amp/preamp combo? Rotel and B&W do business together, but I don’t think they a particularly good match, any more than Krell is (yeah, that’s my opinion).Given the usual tonal balance of the B&W nautilus line, I’d say you probably need genuine tone controls ... |
