| odd question about stand-mount speakers "As long as the tweets are at ear level, it probably shouldn’t matter much" -- that's what I was kind of thinking. If tweeter is at ear level whether right side up or upside down, then either way the same output should reach your ear from each dri... | |
| odd question about stand-mount speakers Oh, ok. Bummer. But that makes sense. I guess as I get closer to making an actual purchase, I could alway contact the manufacturer and see if their specific speaker would be a poor candidate for my experiment. Thanks for the replies. | |
| odd question about stand-mount speakers Yes, a d'appolito design would accomplish the same thing. Plus I wouldn't have to upend the speakers, and the mids/lows would be spread out over two drivers instead of one (per channel), potentially enhancing the sound quality. The only drawback i... | |
| odd question about stand-mount speakers Interesting. Looks like PSB's entire flagship line of speakers have a mid or woofer above the tweeter. They clearly know what they're doing. :) noromance, that's sound advice (pardon the pun). I guess I'm really asking whether there are any reaso... | |
| Tube-Curious/Pre-amp Some info about matching preamps with amps: 1) 2) https://www.vtl.com/buying-guide/system-matching/ | |
| If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly Peter, if I'm understanding correctly, the optical converter you have isn't compatible with the Optical Rendu. If so, no worries -- if you order the Optical Rendu, it comes with a compatible optical converter. If you need any further info, I would... | |
| Has anyone compared the Terminator Plus to the Holo Audio May (KTE edition)? Interesting. I have a very good integrated amp (T+A Elektroakustik). But I think there's a way to bypass the preamp section. I might have to experiment. Thanks for the suggestion. | |
| Has anyone compared the Terminator Plus to the Holo Audio May (KTE edition)? Just came across this review/comparison of these two DACs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSPBX3W1heE | |
| Has anyone compared the Terminator Plus to the Holo Audio May (KTE edition)? orosie ("oh girl"), that's some impressive gear. And i'm surprised the terminator+ and gaia outperform the Auralic stack, considering the price difference. Great bang for the buck. George, if i remember correctly John A. was more impressed with... | |
| Has anyone compared the Terminator Plus to the Holo Audio May (KTE edition)? Thanks. John Atkinson was very impressed by the 501's bigger brother. I might have to add Weiss to the list. | |
| Has anyone compared the Terminator Plus to the Holo Audio May (KTE edition)? Ok, gotcha. I'm curious enough about it to search for that part of the thread (although it won't be 100% applicable to my situation, since the T+A DAC I am considering is going to be a newer, improved model - closer to their flagship DAC). Thank... | |
| Has anyone compared the Terminator Plus to the Holo Audio May (KTE edition)? Thanks. If the following is the thread you're referring to, I didn't notice a definitive "winner" between the May and the T+A: https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/58090-holo-audio-may-dac/?tab=comments#comment-1017566 | |
| Has anyone compared the Terminator Plus to the Holo Audio May (KTE edition)? Thank you. I might very well end up going the T+A route. But if I do, it will likely be a newer model than the DAC8. I emailed T+A earlier this year to ask if they had a newer model DAC in the works, and they said yes, and that it should be out... | |
| Has anyone compared the Terminator Plus to the Holo Audio May (KTE edition)? Thanks. Looks promising. I'm a big believer in "clean" power, so the following really piqued my interest: "The DAC uses a regenerative power supply, (similar to a PS Power Plant)" | |
| Has anyone compared the Terminator Plus to the Holo Audio May (KTE edition)? Thank you both for the replies. I had never even heard of the Cipher. I might have to add it to the mix of options. Currently I'm leaning toward the Mojo Audio Mystique. Also considering a T+A DAC. Cheers, |
