| Listening room ISSUES A drawing would help. Any chance you'd try diagonal placement?https://www.decware.com/paper14.htm | |
| Need opinions on ceiling reflections @milpai My wife sewed a pillowcase for a panel with a good acoustically-friendly fabric. It fits tightly but there is a bit of slack. I stapled it to the ceiling. There are mounting brackets and nicer ways to do things, but since I needed to see ... | |
| Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons. @fiesta75 I only assumed that if the amp was built into the speaker, one couldn't try different preamps & amps to get different synergies with the speaker. Is that mistaken? Please help me understand. I don't want to mislead. | |
| Looking for an amp that punches way about its weight and I can grow with Why on earth do members suggest (with exclamation points, even) gear that is more than double the stated budget of the OP? [FFS: https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=PASS+250.8] How is that anything more than huge time suck? Why is it SO important t... | |
| Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons. From what I've read, active can sound great. It limits your options for experimentation with different amps, etc. Consider how interactive you want to be with your sound as a first step, and then read reviews, test out, etc. to suit your ears. | |
| Best dac under $2500 - comparing build quality and technologies Last year when I was shopping for a DAC, a friend and advanced audiophile in Italy recommended the AudioGD to me but I was having a hard time finding it. I went with an MHDT Orchid instead. Since then, I've heard great things about the Denafrips a... | |
| Looking for an amp that punches way about its weight and I can grow with ML's and tubes sound lovely. I tried my Quicksilver Mono 60s with them and they were great; QS Mono 120's would be good, too, and I've heard a lot of love for Aric Audio, too. Supratek is on my short list, but Australia is a long way away. | |
| Need opinions on ceiling reflections I would avoid foam. I bought OC 703 and covered in fabric to see how it would help. My ceilings are 6.5' so it helped a lot. Couple thoughts on your situation:Visual symmetry and audio symmetry will differ. Be bold about experimenting with asymmet... | |
| HiFi Furniture Milk crates, eh? Thanks for the tip. | |
| New Bluesound Node – First Impressions I went A/B between the Node 2i's DAC and my MHDT and there was no contest. However, between the Node's DAC and the older Peachtree DAC IT, it was hard to tell a difference. | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? @b_limo [N.B., @decooney]Here’s your chance to be done, maybe: https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649748784-quicksilver-audio-silver-88-mono-block-amplifiers/ | |
| Ok, but does your audio gear have rotons (metamaterials)? Micromegas! Love that. Surely a riff on something more ancient. The monads of Leibniz? The dead atoms of Lucretius? Ok, that's enough of that. Back to the main discussion...about...the RETURN key. [Anyone up for a debate on the Oxford comma, inste... | |
| HiFi Furniture @lalitk thanks -- I didn't fully appreciate that flex options are out there. | |
| HiFi Furniture @lalitk Thanks for the link. It will last for a lifetime or until the upgrade/change bug bites and one's new gear no longer fits the rack. D'oh! | |
| HiFi Furniture OP, I sympathize. I was looking into furniture last year when it hit me that I really wasn't sure where my gear would be most optimally set up. More than a couple people emphasized that it's a good idea to keep gear outside your soundstage -- so a... |
