| High end speakers at low volume OP, Congradulations. They look like great speakers. Bet they will sound much better as they break in. Typically I found the sound better at lower levels after breakin. | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT @thaluza Nice system and venue. | |
| Ripping CD's to SSD? OP, I will be interested in hearing your findings. I own two Aurrender streamers, N100, and W20SE. In both cases I cannot hear a difference between a stored file and the streamed (same master / file). Often streaming sounds better because Qobu... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @whart 👍 | |
| Minimum Sound Bar Height I have a home theater in our living room… using a center speaker in the cabinet… which I angle up. It works well. So they can be placed high or low, just angle towards head level. The initial equalization routine will adjust volumes on each speake... | |
| Schiit Audio feedback Cool. Great to hear. | |
| Shocking Lampizator Service Thanks documenting your experience. Good to hear. Although, given the cost of the unit, I would expect to have a replacement unit at my doorstep the next day, while my unit was fixed. I know that if any of my ARC Reference stuff would ever hav... | |
| Hybrid amplifiers Ss/tube, any good? What is your system? Very helpful in understanding where you are coming from. As you know, there is a place to put photos and ID your conponents. That would really help to frame the discussion. | |
| Atma-Sphere MA 2s for Dummies (by a dummy) Thank you very much for your post. Really interesting. I love Sound Lab speakers. Powering them can be challenging. My hat off to you and Ralph for pushing the cutting edge. You have a beautiful system, it must sound incredible. Since my system h... | |
| High end speakers at low volume High efficiency does not equal sounds good at low volumes. Tone controls definitely not part of the equation. You want as pure and high quality signal as possible to excellent sounding speakers. The lower the noise floor of the system the less vol... | |
| Music Server Advice @fastfreight Comparisons between the Grimm and Aurender in my system were Roon for Grimm and Conductor for the Aurrender. I doubt that has a significant sound effect. My experience is that it is the hardware that matters. Also, I used to own ... | |
| Passive preamp I would do more research. If you are looking for very high quality sound, then you will find it with a very high quality active preamp. The idea that a passive preamp will interfer less sound great in theory, but typically that is as far as it goe... | |
| High end speakers at low volume I would recommend looking at stand mounted speakers. Like the Sonus Faber Electra Amator 3. They are gorgeous… there are a number of different models that fit your bill… and all beautiful. Being stand mounted they will not be as imposing looki... | |
| Probably a dumb question 😀👍 | |
| USB Reclocker A good streamer cashes the file, isolates electrically and vibration, and provides an enormously low noise floor in the output. I have owned many streamers… and choose them based on their sound quality not the technology employed. I fiddled with t... |
