| Gripped By Upgrade Fever @spenav +1 on the AudioKinesis Swarm!@paul6001 I have experienced significant improvements all around in multiple rooms (a 10' x 12' minus closets and a 11' x 14' living room at the old place/ 13' x 17' office and 15' x 19' living room in the new ... | |
| What is this feature? Hegels also return to 20% after switching eco mode on then off. | |
| EQ / Dsp... Who’s using them? I've been using a DSPeaker Antimode 2.0 for several months. It really made a positive difference taming the bass coming from a pair of B&W Matrix 801 S2s in a 15' x 15' (bad, I know) square room. Did a correction up to around 300Hz.Tried the... | |
| Repair questions Sorry, misread the specs. Yes they are slow-blow fuses.Would it make sense to just order some cheap fuses from Amazon to use during testing/repairing?Along with making sure speakers are connected, are there any other things to do or be aware of w... | |
| Stereo system vs Steinway @whart My piano is a 1931 Model M.No worries on the humidification systems. I appreciate the tip though and will do some research.The piano is currently being restored and will be pampered with careful climate control.I look forward to enjoying it... | |
| Stereo system vs Steinway @millercarbon - As always, I again appreciate your clarifications. Took my peace of mind up several notches.@petg60/elliotnewcombjr/mijostyn/whart/jbrrp1Your inputs have filled in a lot of the blanks for me. Respectful acknowledgements to you as f... | |
| Monos and mains,.. too close? Yeah, that radiator does get noisy. A wooden handle tap does create some ringing. I just placed a few folded moving blankets over the radiator. There was a noticeable ringing in the midrange that is almost gone now. Thanks again oldhvymec! W... | |
| Monos and mains,.. too close? Regarding sound quality, I understand the reasoning behind minimizing the amount of components (amps, preamps, sources, TV, etc.) between the speakers.However, if the only option for placing amps is between the speakers, is it best for the amps to... | |
| Monos and mains,.. too close? Didn't occur to me to rotate the amps. Right now, they are set up with the fronts facing the listening position and parallel with each other.Rotating them 190 degrees (speaker posts facing listening position) would actually allow for shorter spea... | |
| Looking for a good system for my apartment. Any advise? Agree 100% with maxwave and twoleftears on researching speakers first.Also, heed millercarbons advice on speaker sensitivity. Look up the exponential energy requirements as it relates to how loud you need/want to go. As a newbie to this hobby, I ... | |
| Is it better to have two matched subs or one @salevick - How big is your listening room? Is it a dedicated room or shared living room, etc.? Do you have a budget in mind? | |
| Peachtree and Magnepan = No Bueno Agree 100% with jjss49 - I drive my maggies with a Hegel H190. Other SS amps were ok. My Ampzilla 2000 2nd Edition 300wpc monoblocks with a Bryston BP26 preamp do a better job but cost a lot more.The H190 does a great job driving my Harbeth SHL5... | |
| Subwoofer orientation Thanks Duke!Thought I'd PM you on this but for the benefit of others:Do you have instructions/suggestions on adding a second Dayton? | |
| Phonostage, preamp or amp? @jjss49 My laptop is a SSD HP. Will look into a usb reclocker.Thanks for the tip! | |
| Phonostage, preamp or amp? Appreciate the advice!Ok. Makes sense to go with a tube preamp.My sources right now are laptop > temporary DAC (Fostex HPA8) > Bryston BP26 preamp.I also just got my first turntable. It's a Rega RP8 fitted with an Exact MM. I have a Deno... |
