| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality I received my Network Acoustics Rubicon switch, Muon ethernet cable and Muon filter. I don’t want to venture into shilling but if your budget allows and your system is up to it, I am unaware of a better solution. Gobsmacked! Thanks @grannyring... | |
| DAC comparison @soix I've been test driving cars. The Audi S5 and S6 are illustrative / representative of the same. Uber competent. Yet missing more than something [for me]. : ) Indeed. Audi makes a fine car (my wife drives Audi Allroads after years in BMW... | |
| DAC comparison @ghdprentice You have an amazing dac in the refcd9se. The Dac8 is nowhere close. In fact, if you heard them both in your system you might wonder what was going on at ARC at the time. It was a reasonable dac if fed a low jitter signal through ... | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? @rrm Gordon Lightfoot: Me and Bobby McGee. So much better than Janis Joplin Actually the song, written by Kris Kristophersen, was first recorded by Roger “King of the Road” Miller. Then by Kenny Rogers and THEN by Gordon Lightfoot…Joplin reco... | |
| DAC comparison @erik_squires +1 I owned that dac. It was good, not great, at its release and it was far better upsampling than redbook. If you want it to match other ARC equipment then cool. If you do get it though, the USB input is horrible. Use spdif or AE... | |
| Best Stereo Upgrade Value It always depends on goals. Set percentages can be a guide but those percentages can shift wildly depending on overall budget. I’m presently (waiting for new speakers) listening to speakers that represent 5% of my total system. Many might listen i... | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? Counting Crows: “Big Yellow Taxi” and I happen to love Joni Mitchell but on some songs, I find myself appreciating her voice in the same way that I enjoy the performance of the spring pageant where my kid has the lead. | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance Pulverize or vaporize convey similar dominance. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @randyk @twoleftears sincere thanks for the kind words. The acoustical treatments are easy to place and more importantly, easy to remove and put away in the event my wife ever comes in to that room LOL. The equipment is located over the right ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @prof Excellent question. The OBaby's are presently 64 inches apart tweeter to tweeter, the listening (ears in seated position, aprox) position is just over 84 inches from the center point between the speakers. So, I guess 7 feet away qualifi... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers They are about 50 inches out from the rear wall, 45 inches from the sidewalls in a 13’6” w by 14ish foot deep room with 9’8” ceilings. These measurements are to the tweeter/center of the front panel. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Update: I moved the OBaby’s home and inserted them into my main listening room. They just can’t get enough of a workout in an office setting to break them in, thus the relo. They’ve been going at it hard for the past three days, maybe another 30 h... | |
| Devore / Bay Area @avgonzalez77 What is your low powered tube amp? The reason I ask is I have a pair of OBaby's (no I dont live in the bay area, sorry), own/have owned O93's and O96's. While the traits are similar up and down the line, the OBaby's are 90db/8ohm s... | |
