| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? This is what Kalman Rubinson of Stereophile heard when he used this new iFi iPower wall wart on a low powered dac when he compared it to a linear wall wart, it should/could do the same for the Lightspeed Attenuators sound."When I switched over fro... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hi all, owners that like to try different ways of powering their Lightspeed Attenuator’s. May like to try something new that Stereophile gave some push for.It’s the new iFi iPower supply dc wall wart, now before any of you say it, yes I didn’t lik... | |
| Esoteric K-01X or K-03X?? R2R multibit is the magic, for "bit perfect" Redbook replay, as Delta Sigma (bitstream) is just a facsimile (approximation) of PCM conversion process. You just have to take a look what the latest high end flagship dac’s like MSB, Trinity, AMR, Sch... | |
| Esoteric K-01X or K-03X?? These are what's inside both, pick your poison. ESOTERIC K-01 8 x AK4399EQ VRDS-NEO VMK-3.5-20S- SPU3162 ESOTERIC K-03 4 x AK4399EQ VRDS-NEO VMK-3.5-10 – SPU3162 If your only doing Redbook I would say ne... | |
| Any Large Acoustic Suspension Speakers Being Made? Seeing you've like the Dunlavy's. I can recommend the Wilson Alexia's as only they have wowed me away from the Duntech (Dunlavy) Sovereigns for a box speaker. But you'll need a big amp (100-200w) with big current for these, just like the Duntech/D... | |
| DMC Time Windows 3 Intermittent Crackling Can’t remember back that far, but yes there was a trick to it, vaguley remember as a youngster, with your palm under the top cover and whacking it off, but don’t hold me to that. Maybe someone else here is old enough to remember.But the sagging of... | |
| DMC Time Windows 3 Intermittent Crackling These are now getting very old, and the bass drivers are at the top. Because of their age now the bass cone suspension could very well be starting to sag and cause the voice coil scratch in the gap (it’s called polling). They have 4 screws undo th... | |
| Sonus Faber Olympica III speaker placement djfstFrom the back wall, are these measurement to the front of the speaker (where the tweeter is, etc), or the back of the speaker? The Olympicas are pretty elongated so that would make a big difference. I will start experimenting. On one of the s... | |
| Sonus Faber Olympica III speaker placement This is what an Aussie, Neville Thiel (RIP) of the Thiel & Small parameters, that all driver/box are calculated on once told me, and it works a treat.To try to cancel any bass standing wave problems, odd ratio measurements should be applied, n... | |
| Does anyone have info on a Denon dcd-3520 The DCD-3520 used PCM64P dacs and a KSS-151A laser. both of these highly rated today and rare and expensive to buy.For Redbook replay you would be hard pressed to find a better d/a converter than the R2R Lader Multibit PCM63K. R2R multibit is the ... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i Last week we had a very enjoyable day up in the mountains trying different things on Ed (Edgar)Krammer’s (reviewer for 6 moons, Australian hifi and Audio Esoterica) system which consists of an AMR CD-777 flagship CDP a pair of Parasound JC1’s and ... | |
| Attenuater Autonomy? Sorry the last paragraph does not apply in this caseCheers george | |
| Attenuater Autonomy? Your Proceed has a very nice low output impedance of 20ohm, and should be used direct into your KSA150, as I believe your doing, any added preamp between the Proceed and KSA150 will degrade the sound quality. I believe there is an input pre-set le... | |
