| plinth material = for Bamboo, did a 301 in it a few years back, excelent if not a pain to work with. | |
| Will Open Baffle Speakers Approach the Speed and Dynamics of Horns? I've gone from fully horn loaded to OB's and I'm more than happy. From my experience the OB's are as fast but without the horn issues like beaming, shouty or harshness. This of course depended on the quality of both. I went from newer LaScala’s... | |
| Tubes for VTL MB-450 Series II You can use other 6550 brands as well. Winged C's are good but not the best avail. | |
| To Battery Or Not To Battery (12 Volt) I've hear another option is one of the battery back up systems like from golezero etc. as long as the requtifier is noise free it should be a stable power source. Add solar charging to it and your off grid for your audio system. Some youtubers sa... | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? Horns and Open Baffles, maybe some E-stat pannels. removing the box is ear opening. | |
| Speakers for new room I went from a large room like your old one to a 13.5’ x 22’ room. I ended up with Open baffles, reason is they can be placed close to the side walls due to their dispersion pattern and have less interaction with the side wall. I have mine, Tri-Art... | |
| Hlep chosing a streamer/server for my DAC After years of trying various streamers, Aurender, Roon Nucleus, Bluesound, PC etc. I would not spend big money on a streamer like the Aurenders unless you like the look. I found very little difference in the streamer once a quality dedicated D... | |
| Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair The most holographic speakers i have heard in my life are the Omega SAM's they put a huge sound scape that envelopes you in the listening space. I've yet to find a speaker that can do what they did for sound staging. They have other issues though ... | |
| Chinese DAC's I suppose as a Canadiann now is not the time to buy a US made DAC, I was considering a couple, now maybe it's the time to try one from China / EU. Should have grabed one a few months ago oh well. | |
| Upgrade ....streamer or amp? f it was my money, I'd recommend you upgrade to an outboard DAC, I do not see the sound improving much doing another streamer. A quality DAC is going to have the largest increase in sound considering your options. A streamer’s internal DAC is gene... | |
| New buy, no return policy If you're able to listen to them in the store, will they not let you take them home for a home demo? If not i'd buy from somewhere else. Or get the used ones and save some money. Who cares about warenty on a used speaker. If it didnt break in the ... | |
| Replacement/upgrade for Bluesound and Chord Mojo 2 streamer/external DAC combo "Mojo 2 is around US$600 together, so ideally would like to spend that much or up to US$1,000" I do not think your going to beat the Mojo for your budget just make a differance/ side step. Maybe a powersupply for the Mojo, but IMO Chord makes a... | |
| Turntable to Phono to Pre connections well from my understanding phono carts are inherently balanced so it is easy to add a balnaced cable to them. I've never done it or know anyone that has. I believe you have to rewire the tone arm as well. | |
| Tube amp/ preamp advice Anything from 2wpc and up will fit the bill, but if you’re going to crank it up to fill a larger room maybe 20wpc and up. Really any tube amp will work. If you want a warmer side stick with traditional old-style tubes like 2A3,300b, EL34, EL84. Al... |
