| Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC? BJC do not compare to MIT, sorry. In the budget category I prefer SignalCable due to their use of better termination. As for Neotech, I make balanced cables from braided 24ga Neotech solid core chassis wire and Vampire XLR's. Much more open and be... | |
| Best caps for updating my VTL 225 mono's ? The evaluations at HumbleHomeMadeHiFi are from speaker evaluations, not line level electronics. Check the cap thread in the lab section of Audiocircle instead. | |
| Using 2 of Centers as Bookshelf Speakers. Sell the extra speaker, two separate speakers as a center is a bad idea. | |
| Wyred for Sound DAC 2 or Peachtree Nova Although the implementation is more important(analog section, PS, etc...), the 32 bit sabre chip is capable of higher sampling frequency, bit rate, and dynamic range. | |
| What if you designed your ultimate speaker? A 3 way with good drivers and steep slopes can keep distortion very low and not end up being the size of a pipe organ with 17 drivers per side. Do some research on Joseph Audio's "Infinite Slope". | |
| Wyred 4 Sound DAC1 or DAC2? Devilboy, the Nova doesn't even come close to Wyred's DAC-1 or 2. | |
| Changed Speaker Placement NOW BOOMY Large potted plants in the corner of the room will help a little. | |
| The best tweeter design Plasma tweeters excite air movement directly, with no mass. The sound is the purest you have ever heard. The only downside is cost.Don't forget the health hazards too. :D | |
| Wyred DACS I agree, no glare or sibilance here with my DAC-1 or DAC-2. Maybe he has an impedance mismatch or just poor synergy? | |
| SACD player with digital input The Marantz SA-15S2 plays SACD's and has a optical in. | |
| Do tweeters with open rear chamber need enclosure? What is the speaker in question? | |
| Manley stingray and tannoy I used a Stingray to run a pair of 85db 4ohm towers in a 5 x 6 meter room with no trouble, you'll be fine.FYI, Mullard CV4024's sound wonderful in that unit. | |
| Wyred DACS I haven't tried their cables yet, but going from single ended to balanced did give me a larger soundstage. | |
| Speaker Wire Recommendations? Excellent post Al! | |
| Sealing ported enclosure to reduce boom "Sealing" the port is a bad idea. The drivers and crossover were designed to work with the port open, at least to some degree.Knownothing, how would it affect the crossover?Here's an example what you're effectively doing when a port is plugged. ht... |
