| Mat for Rega P10 I'm now using the Teac Washi mat with my Planar 8 and I no longer have any static issues or mat lift issues. It's roughly the same size as my platter (which is smaller than a record) so I don't understand why people are having issues picking up th... | |
| Help with multi-room streaming with Bluesound @fuzztone, what's a wifi amp? Not being snarky, I honestly have never heard of this. | |
| Help with multi-room streaming with Bluesound Wiring in "parallel" halfs the impedance (two 8 ohm speakers wired in parallel equals a 4 ohm load).Wiring in "series" as suggested has the opposite result (two 8 ohm speakers wired in series equals a 16 ohm load). I'm no expert but pretty sure th... | |
| Help with multi-room streaming with Bluesound You can run two sets of speakers in series off of a single set of outputs and it will drop the resistance (two 8 ohm speakers in series is a 16 ohm load). So it would work fine from an amplifier compatibility stand point. The possible problem with... | |
| Help with multi-room streaming with Bluesound How about a bluesound powernode? It’s basically a node with a built in amp. You could hook it directly to your in wall speakers and wouldn’t need any other boxes or components.Any reason you are wanting to replace your existing node 2i with the ne... | |
| Any Thoughts On These? My Dad snagged a pair of the older Motion 60 XT speakers as everyone was offering them on deep discount right before the new XTI came out. They are good speakers if you can snag them on sale but I wouldn’t pay full price. Consequently he does use ... | |
| Help choosing an power amplifier I bought my Parasound JC5 from safeandsoundhq.com and they have open box and b-stock deals regularly on Parasound gear. Music Direct is also a Parasound and Rotel dealer and they do trade-ins if you think you might want to trade in your emotiva to... | |
| Help choosing an power amplifier Crutchfield doesn't sell Parasound so it's no wonder they recommended something else. The hint 6 would be a great step up and would work well with your speakers now and would also allow you to upgrade speakers later if you want without needing a m... | |
| Speakers for the deck- okay to discuss here? I bet you will like the extreme. If you do just buy a second one and pair them together. Nothing wrong with that! | |
| Revel M106 Parts I found the scan-speak tweeters Revel uses in the F208s available online (without the proprietary wave guide) when I needed replacements. I was contemplating some DIY surgery prior to customer service finding me a replacement set. Pull your woofer... | |
| Speakers for the deck- okay to discuss here? I would personally rather have two of the Charges than a single Extreme for the same cost. And while I am a fan of external DACs on my main rig, with these speakers I wanted simple and portable. If you add a DAC to a single speaker you won't get ... | |
| Speakers for the deck- okay to discuss here? I have a pair of JBL Flips and my dad has a pair of the JBL Charges. The flip is more compact and the pair does nice for background music on our smaller patio. The Charge is slightly larger and works better for my Dads larger outdoor area. The sou... | |
| I have a macbook pro going into a benchmark DAC - what's the best upgrade path? Which Benchmark DAC do you have? If it's a DAC1 you might look into a DAC2 or 3 as an upgrade path. If it is a DAC2 have you installed the most recent firmware chip from Benchmark? I have a Benchmark DAC2 HGC that I am very happy with. Benchmark s... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers Congrats.. all my big audio purchases are done after a few drinks. It helps lubricate the wallet. | |
