| Replacing current sub with another Thank you all for the responses. I like the idea of using the DSP for correction but I really want a sub with DSP or something more controls. Imo, I want to try avoiding using something in between the signal path of the main and preamp. | |
| Too powerful of an amp!? Yes you can as long as your are use the volume control diligently. Also many often overlook the input sensitivity of an amplifier and when using preamp, this is where synergy come into play. Keep in mind that this applies to separates and not much... | |
| Bass- at what frequency does it change from sounding like a string to just a low tone? @m669326 To answer your question, any frequency. When you listen just the bass, it most likely not going to sound natural. For example a double bass can go as low as 31hz(E1), or 5 string guitar. Almost every instrument has overtones that make is ... | |
| Your experience of moving to two subs Here is my take in this topic. Their is nothing wrong with one sub in a system if you implement it properly if you have the right resources. Yes dual, quad, etc, no matter how many subs you put in a room is going to improve the smoothness of the r... | |
| Question for Vandersteen owners @holmz I was thinking about getting the Vandy sub but at the moment they are hard to find in my area especially one without the crossover. | |
| Butler Audio amplifier @acman3 Thanks for the response. | |
| Topping A90 @soix Thanks! I believe the A90 is similar to the A90D in that it has NFCA module for the A90 which you can say space saving where the A90D is NFCA but in discrete design. | |
| Topping A90 I have been using the A90 extensively and all can say is WOW. As a headphone amp I am impressed. It took my TASCAM headphones to whole new level. I still have not used it as a preamp but will soon be the next test. Will see how it goes against my ... | |
| Bass/speaker excursion issues What Hsu Research model do you have? | |
| How do I know when to use a subwoofer? Honestly, it all depends on system to system and the room and many other factors. I do agree a subwoofer may not be mandatory but is there if needed. I my situation and type of music I listen to, I feel a sub is a good addition. @mglik You have ... | |
| Speakers and amplifiers show audiophiles are confused. @donavabdear Can also be like buying a perfomance car and knowing which is the best road to drive it on. Good anology. | |
| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? Was the phonogragh considered hifi sound back then? What about the reel to reel? Musical can have variety of meanings but technology have made it to a point where we can enjoy it. | |
| Threshold Stasis S/150 @ghdprentice I have not made a commitment on the amp yet. All I was asking if the Threshold was enough to drive the Vandersteen. My budget is less then 1.5k. | |
| Threshold Stasis S/150 I understand your analogy and you make a valid point but I don’t know the condition of the amp. It could be near mint or have some wear and tear, I don’t know but that is why questions has to asked. Would you by a car that is 30 years old with 30k... | |
| Threshold Stasis S/150 @audioman58 I am not sure if it was rebuilt but I can also get the model FET Two pre with it. I did some research notice that the S/150 models that some have the mkii. The model that the person is selling has the speaker binding post vertical wh... |
