| Hooking up my JL sub I am still a little confused and any help will be great. Willing to try what @millercarbon suggested. Just got 2 questions:1. If I connect using LOC most on the market are for car audio and says max RMS 50W. Is that a concern. 2. Once I successful... | |
| Hooking up my JL sub Not if you hook up to a preamp that has a crossover adjustment. Last night I played around and was able to shut off all equalization and Audessy setup in Marantz and manually adjust the crossover for the front R/L to 80hz. Also able to adjust the ... | |
| Hooking up my JL sub Quick question while we’re on this topic. Would connecting a sub using an LOC from the power amp not pass the entire range to both the speakers and sub? Would there not be a double bass effect? | |
| Hooking up my JL sub Thanks for the info again. | |
| Hooking up my JL sub @millercarbon. Thanks BTW. Stupid question: is there a decent grade LOC unit that you recommend? Also, a few I saw online have a bunch of color coded wires sticking out. Which wires connect to the R/L of the amp speaker output. | |
| Hooking up my JL sub Great idea. I like that better as the tonal characteristics of the Simauido W5 amplifier is not lost and both the Von Schweikerts VR4 and the sub will be in sync. Do I simply unplug the RCA inputs at the sub and let the XLR input on the mono remai... | |
| Why does streaming need to be so complex @junzhang10 I did that for a while. I like Amazon HD and the price is better and in the long term the savings add up. OPPO has no customer service and no future updates available. As a matter of fact I have the OPPO 105 for sale on CL. My current ... | |
| Why does streaming need to be so complex This article by John Darko sums it all up. https://darko.audio/2019/03/the-inconvenient-truth-about-mqa-on-ios/As per my original post - there still remains a lot of gaps in the streaming world. There are some excellent and expensive audiophile st... | |
| Why does streaming need to be so complex @mapman thanks. Can you confirm if iPhone can transmit 24/192? Also do you know of any decent usb to SPDIF converters? | |
| Why does streaming need to be so complex @mapman i agree -but here is the limitation to that. Don’t think iPhone 8 or newer can stream 24/192 and secondly you will need a Apple USB camera adapter and from there a USB to SPDIF converter (my Benchmark DAC does not have USB). The converter ... | |
| subwoofer to digital music and movies I sold my earthquake sub and purchase a JL fathom f112. I am speechless as there are no words in the audiophile dictionary to define its greatness. Once the system is perfectly dialed in (which took me weeks), for the first time I have jumped off ... | |
| Best multi-purpose subwoofer I am really enjoying my f112 sub. Dialed in for both 2 channel and HT the unit sounds amazing. Really solid state of the art subwoofer. Question is - does using good quality power cable, RCA cable and XLR cable connecting to the subwoofer make a d... | |
| Best multi-purpose subwoofer Hi Tim, sorry for the super late response. I was on vacation with family. Want to make sure I don’t ignore a fellow audiophile, specially when you have been so helpful. Well good new is - I purchased a JL Audio fathom f112 sub just last night. It ... | |
| Best multi-purpose subwoofer Thank you Tim and Duke, and everyone else who has go graciously taken the time out to write and educate. There is a lot to this subject just like any other piece of equipment in the audio chain, and to me that is where the most fun is being an aud... | |
| Best multi-purpose subwoofer Hi Tim, this is great news. I am glad that the Swarm system can connect the LFE and Line in both at the same time. I have a Benchmark DAC1. The source for my digital music is Apple TV. I am connecting via HDMI in to OPPO 105 and coax out of OPPO i... |
