| Is it easier to sell mono blocks or stereo amp on the used market? Mono blocks all the way for listening, I moved from Stereo Mac to mono's and very happy i did. The only down side when selling is shipping cost and luging two. I feel the mono amps will hold their value longer, potentialy anyway. Really depends o... | |
| XM tuners/ receivers source for all tuner information. look for the shoot out section. I’ve used a few tuners over the years but keep coming back to the top Sansui models for sound quality and the ability to tune a distance station. note i’m also a Mac guy but thier t... | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? dlevi67, "What do you call the conversion of an analogue signal to a PWM/PDM or ΔΣ modulation and its subsequent filtering to recover an amplified analogue signal?" yes analogue still. no ones and zeroes involved here so not digital. there i... | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? One class D is not digital in anyway, Two his amp has room correction software so if he is using it yes its digitizing all inputs regardless. Three if you dont' have records already i would pass on them its expemcive to do well, takes up conside... | |
| NAD C 328 on-end placement You should be fine, Note the best idea but no going to damage the unit other then maybe scratch the side up a bit. | |
| Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu depending on the room size the Pear's. | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT From my experience once a good DAC is implemented the streamer has very little to do with it as long as the signal is good. Most good quality DAC's now can overcome any issues with timing/data issues/ noise, ect. I’ve gone through a half dozen s... | |
| Main speaker placement- fundamentally wrong? If you noticed almost all animal's ears are on the side of their head. evolution made them that way for a reason, most likely for location sensing of predators and pray. I do not think evolution was worried about your stereo separation etc. Reason... | |
| Connecting Hegel H 190 to ARC vsi75 if thats the case get a dedicated streamer and forgo the integrated to integrated idea. | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room Your pictures seem to be distorted and make the room look considerably narrower than in real life. assuming by the skinny chair. That said have you tried some bass traps to damp the bass in room? Maybe it is worth looking at having a company w... | |
| Should I replace my 20-year-old Hovland Radia Amp? After doing some research into Hovland after one of their preamps came into the used market locally i would say sell it and buy a Pass amp to match your preamp. Hovland had some strange ideas and practices not based in engineering in anyway. | |
| Pearl Acoustics Sibelius vs. Bottlehead's Pipette specs alone are far apart from each other. i'd say significanly to the piont they are not even a close comparison. Cabinet constuction is significanlty different as well. I think you get what you pay for in both considering the Sibalius is made in... | |
| Dual 1229 Turntable OR Kenwood 5070 ? the Kenwood over that Dual any day that is one of Kenwood's better tables you'd have to spend quite a bit of cash to get the same performance in a new table. The Dual is ok for what it is but i don't think it stands up to the Kenwood. Dual, ... | |
| … "And the government shall be upon his shoulders" . Well, considering there is no substantiated proof Christ even existed I don't see how any of this is even a thing. Debating the writings of men in ancient history is silly in modern days. You cannot compare historic writings to the modern day wh... | |
| Which DAC - Streamer or Preamp? the DAC1 card is just ok but the DAC2 baord is very good in comparison. probably need a $2500+ outboard DAC to beat it. You may want to price the DAC2 board upgrade for your mac, it also adds some very nice conectivity for a TV through the e-arc i... |
