| 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 | |
| I think I need more bass traps, where to place them?? Soffit traps, from GIK Acousitcs, you can run them on all 4 sides of your ceiling.However, two tips:1. Place your speakers asymmetrically2. Get an EQ. Since you have bass traps, controlling the room nodes is going to be a lot easier with an EQ, yo... | |
| MQA ? Pono? What's better than the CD? See the link I just posted. :) Enjoy. | |
| MQA ? Pono? What's better than the CD? That makes it sound a lot better, I take it back, MQA rocks.... er, not. :) https://www.meridian-audio.com/news-events/meridian-audio-launches-mqa-master-quality-authenticated/ | |
| recommend DAC for mirror image audio .2p (preamp) with JBL 4344 Schiit is in your price range and warm sounding. Just above that is the Mytek Brooklyn. Lots of people raving about the Ayre Codex too. | |
| Downsizing @fast_mick In your case I strongly suggest you get an EQ. :) I mean, i would suggest bass traps, but you don't have any room for them. Get an EQ and clip off the peaks of the sub, this will at least let you bring the level up some what, plus the E... | |
| Downsizing If you are willing to DIY them, these are fantastic, small and under $500. The tweeter is IMO much better than the Focal. Massive motor keeps it linear, extended and flat past 20k. http://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-lm-1-bookshel... | |
| MQA ? Pono? What's better than the CD? Hi Jim!As a music storage format, FLAC predates Pono by a few years. :) But I rip or download FLAC unless I'm buying DSD. Also I do like the sound of the Pono portable player, but given it's limitations I ended up going with Fiio and with an extr... | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? I don’t know why people are getting confused. It’s exactly the same as with a speaker or AC plug. The circuit, to be a circuit, is a loop. Try cutting off the neutral wire on an AC plug and see how well your amp plays then. :) I think part of the ... |
