| What is the forums opinion of SVS subs? YouTuber Nemo Propaganda does a good job of doing explaining the differences between the two brands. Might want to check him out. I too had a hard time with REL’s specs as on paper they don’t seem impressive. It’s hard to explain, you kind of hav... | |
| What is the forums opinion of SVS subs? I do not have either, but both seem to be well respected. One may also want to consider if integrating them into a system is easy or not. | |
| DAC’s @shtr74sims to add more to the plate… @gdnrbob just put in “Innuos Zen Mini for the office, and the Innuos Zenith for the living room ”. My AVR/AVP allegedly has a good Roon player built into it, and I am haunching over the bench to get the cable... | |
| At this level of high(er) end audio why not offer balanced connections? Maybe contacting the specific manufacturer's marketing department would be of more help since we can only... speculate Would the engineering department also potentially know why? | |
| Need 25 foot interconnects Stay away from XLR/RCA adapters as they will diminish sound quality. @ebm @ghdprentice how do we explain this from 3 weeks ago: … Success. No hum, no feedback, just a silent connection. Sounds petty good, too, when playing music. … | |
| DAC’s holmz no not yet, been a busy week. To many options haha @shtr74sims there is no dishonour in moving slowing, nor being busy. 😎 Nor looking at many other options. While I do not personally hear a great difference between DACS, the options/cont... | |
| So I was changing a lightbulb last night… holmz The tonearm is carbon fiber, the clearaudio ‘Satisfy Carbon’. I wasn’t really looking for a solution with this thread I just thought it was something interesting to share here. Although after a handful of people recommended ditching the dim... | |
| DAC’s Believe me, you will never hear the difference, especially not worth a price differential of 5k, even if you have better hearing than the creature in the movie "A Quiet Place". @cakyol while I agree, I worked it a bit different earlier… I doub... | |
| To preamp or not to preamp. That is the question. Budget is around $1000. I don't mind buying used, prefer it in fact. With that budget and being a bedroom system, I am wondering if it good enough “as is.” Do you do a lot of careful and critical listening in there? Or is it mostly mood music? | |
| Software for Room Correction? Truth be told I experienced this effect recently with a pair of Buchard S400 Mk2s at someone's home. They went from Okay to Jaw dropping. Maybe my jaw dropped because I knew how they sounded in two other rooms and was shocked by the imp... | |
| Odd subwoofer question. … The problem with the vast majority of commercial subwoofers is that they are built to a price and take short cuts to make implementing them easier and less expensive. Even F1 cars are built to a price point. And spaceships. … No subwoofe... | |
| DAC’s Those who say DACs don’t matter, zeroes and ones, I want to smoke what you are smoking. Or have tin ears. Or never listened to music. I would have saved myself a lot of money. I do admit to liking vinyl, and with digital needing all the cor... | |
| So I was changing a lightbulb last night… Off-topic, but do you use your turntable immediately adjacent to your speaker? If so, then I would anticipate experiencing problems much more significant than this finding. If it was magnetic field I would agree, but I suspect that this is eith... | |
| DAC’s richardmathes it was a genuine question. That is part of what this site is for, is it not ? It’s like minded people who are into the same hobby. I bet you are the kind of guy who has an $800 a month truck payment and is always complaining he does... | |
| XLR to RCA plugs or cable You’re right @dpop - I has read it as into the phono stage, rather than out of it. (Sorry Mate.) That Jensen isolator is making a lot more sense now in that context, but also I would try a Neutrik first, and then the OP already has the XLR cable ... |
