Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound? Zu Omen Defs are good speakers at 101 dB/watt. But, I would not compare them to some others like JBL, Altec, Cerwin-Vega or BagEnd. Not even very close for "club" or concert volume. You wouldn't even hear the Zu's in a room with the others. In y... | |
Replacement capacitors exploding BP should mean Bi-Polar. They SHOULD be the same... Try to find Non-Polar, think the last time I bought some NP caps was on Mouser Electronics. I'll check later to see if they are NP or BP. What are the voltage ratings of the new caps and what brand? | |

Apple Dolby Atmos Music - Absolute GAME CHANGER! Perhaps you think so, I'm happy for you. Are you really a stereo purist, or are you just pretending? I'm not going to try as most digital gimmicks suck. | |

Trying to understand optimal method of volume control with separates Run your dac at 75% or greater. Use your preamp to adjust the volume for the most part. Analog volume controls are more linear and balanced above 50%. IF you had a separate power amp with a volume control, I would run it 75% to 100% and not change... | |
Class D amps that are superior to all or most? I borrowed a friends class D with about 300 hours on it and didn't like it. Harsh is the best word. I don't like leaving my amps on 24/7, does anyone do that when you're out of town? | |
Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers I personally like SS amps the best, but made that decision many years ago. High frequency response and reliability mostly. That being said, I haven't listened to any tube amps except for David Berning monos and those did sound very good. Hard to t... |
