| A cunundrum of sorts... any ideas? @carlsbad that list is missing mine. I was surprised when I saw a bypass on the used preamp I got, and in my case I do not need to power the preamp… when the preamp is shut off then the bypass is relayed “on”. If the preamp is on, then bypass... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience Dear @holmz : I was in a hurry when my post to op but I gone thinking that's the whole context what is behind what Palmer posted. He participated in that technical loading thread that after some posts took other road. I can't remember but... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? @holmz The internal reflection would be absorbed by the stuffing. Cabasse has done sphere speakers. Rectangles are done because they are cheaper and easier. Would you like me to custom tune your speakers for you as you seem to be unhappy with... | |
| A cunundrum of sorts... any ideas? Having just gone through this, and still going through it… Ran an AVP (which is an AVR without the amps)… so it has either XLR or RCA outputs. The rears and center channels go to some small AIYAMA amps and the speakers. The front channels int... | |
| Suggestion for $10K soup to nuts digital? If you are talking soup to nuts digital, I highly recommend the Lyngdorf TDAI-3400. For less than $10K it is all you need to have in front of your speakers. I took mine on trial from a dealer (whom I will gladly name if requested) nearly two year... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? wrong again. The research shows it is the perfect shape. Speakers are there to reproduce what you play through them. They are not instruments. High end speaker companies know this. Can you please point us to this research? Back in the 70’s... | |
| My first tube integrated: which one to get? @wsrrsw yes sir… I have a couple of tube preamps and a stereo tube amp and a monoblock tube pair… So I am biased a bit as well. There are many ways to skin a cat, and I meander too. 😁 | |
| How To Connect a DAC? @tcotruvo I think that is referred to as the “fear of missing out” (FOMO). Could more people telling you have it “dialed in” help? There will always be ones trying to sell things to get to nirvana, and I too can sometimes not stop when I should.... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts Yup. Stare on those graphs, and you will know exactly how it will sound. This way, one can “audition” and compare dozens of DACs from the comfort of their home without lifting a finger or spending any money 🙄🤦♂️ Pretty much… if we see a spray ... | |
| My first tube integrated: which one to get? I think you will get an appreciable upgrade from the Emotiva Mono’s with a substantial tube integrated or the holy grail of separates (hard to do with out a bake sale or bank robbery). @wsrrsw I am not sure. If the OP did not find the Emotiva M... | |
| Accuphase E-408 voltage conversion @imhififan wow - that is nice work sir. | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience rauliruegas You quote another post above: “A phono cartridge is a voltage generator (Vs)” To me, that sounds like a premise, and from my very limited knowledge base, it sounds like it could very well be a false premise, as phono cartridges g... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts … What exactly are Amir's instruments incapable of measuring that you can hear? I can picture some of the filter roll off and preringing in a DAC might be something that’s not covered in a SINAD of a tone, or 2 tone measurement. prof soun... | |
| Break In Failed in" before testing, or do they test them right off the assembly line? @gs5556 some actually do. When I got mine, the fellow said let em play for a few days when you go to work. They are pretty broken in now. How can anyone optimize loudsp... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @rcaguy book ordered. Thanks |
