| How to "mount" acoustic foam ? Most likely gdhal is experiencing the Backfire Effect here, more convinced than ever he must be right. I ain't often right, but I've never been wrong. | |
| How to "mount" acoustic foam ? What I think happens is that the foam changes the nature of the acoustic wave traveling through it. Obviously the acoustic wave actually travels though the foam twice, once through the foam to the wall then back out again to the air. So any effect... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions @david_ten You're welcome. And thank you for the soundstage review. The majority of the write up is a regurgitation of what has already been said/written regarding the analog A version, however, there is enough opinion (which I agree with) in the ... | |
| Does It have to be loud? Soliciting opinions to this question....I understand that doubling the power results in a 3db increase. Speaker manufactures typically include a sensitivity measurement *and* a recommended amplification power measurement.Can one draw an inference ... | |
| FLAC vs WAV @nipper1954Seriously? There are a few inaccuracies in your post. But I too love all my music being digital and in a lossless format. :) | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions ...Thanks for sharing the link and bringing it to our attention. Do you have a feel for the performance of your Yggy with the B analog board, now that you have had some more time with it?....You’re welcome, David. In answer to your question, I do!... | |
| How to "mount" acoustic foam ? Laughing....@jafant Unclear to me me what you find humorous, nevertheless, in the case of my posts, the information I've provided herein is true. | |
| Reasonably Priced Fuse Upgrade for Magnepan 3.7? I wasn't aware a fuse can be upgraded. It either conducts electricity and works to its rated amperage, voltage, slow/fast blow and so on or not. What is there to upgrade? | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions It appears some objective measurement data is available. Succinctly speaking, it appears as though the upgrade from analog A to B is meaningful and worthwhile.Admittedly, the interpretation of this information is a bit over-my-head. Therefore, I’l... | |
| Does It have to be loud? I listen at 50 to 60dB measured at listening chair. When I play Nirvana, I can listen to it at 50-60 db outside my building. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I spent a lot of time on Sunday at the Schitt table. I know I'll get flamed for this, but I really felt let down. I heard their top offerings in the most recent form I'm assuming and wasn't impressed. You won't get flamed at all.The Schiit Yggdra... | |
| Does It have to be loud? For me it’s all about Dynamic Range, not loudness per se...Well, that me be your (Geoff) preference, but there certainly is more to it than dynamic range. For example, one could choose to listen to Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture or Ravel's Bolero, ea... | |
| Does It have to be loud? Depends on the type and specific song of music you’re listening to. IMO, each song has a particular decibel range that makes it sound "right". For example, listening to certain Led Zeppelin songs will be more enjoyable, IMO, in the 90 - 100 db ran... | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 @nitewulf I've only read positive things about the metrum pavane 3. No doubt you've made a great choice. And I too prefer the sound of multi-bit ladder in comparison to delta-sigma.I haven't checked extensively, but isn't the metrum pavane 3 DAC ... | |
| How to "mount" acoustic foam ? @folkfreak I actually tried an army blanket (wool) at one point to cover my television, as my speakers are between them. This is an older photo. I've since installed some more acoustic foam and have moved the speakers further forward of the tv. ht... |
