| What would you do if items from Ebay had beenlost? Hello,did you check the mailbox? Sometimes things fit in the mailbox but they show they left it on the front porch. Also is there a house that has the same number close by but on a different street? Check the bushes near your house. Sometimes racc... | |
| Bryston Amp Experience Needed Hello, I think your Emotiva amp is H-class and the Bryston is A/B or an exceptional D. I tried the Emotiva and went back to the A/B. We had a discussion about power a few days ago. If your speakers are somewhat efficient You would be more than fin... | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? Hello,I feel like we flew down the perpetual rabbit hole. That being said I wanted to add or highlight some of the comments. If you have those hard metal factory jumpers please put them away with your manuals and just use some decent copper wire a... | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? Hello,I thought it was important to use at least 25% of the preamp. I had a marsh Sound Design A400s which is 200 WPC-push pull. I always thought is was a little under detailed unless you really turned it up. I switched to the 100 wpc version and ... | |
| Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer Hello,Pink FloydElton JohnDepeche ModeI know I am all over the place. I never really listened to Floyd until 2016 when my best friend let me borrow his record player and some albums. He had a 1970 something The Wall and a Mofi recording of DSOTM. ... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? Hello,I wish I had kept my dads RTR back in the day along with the recordings of course. I feel this is just a money issue like buying a gun. The $1500 colt 1911 is not the expensive part. It’s the bullets or cartridges that are the real cost. I r... | |
| power cord directionality On some cables the ground wire is only connected on one terminated end. It helps to reduce ground noise or hum. On a power cable that is grounded or has a ground plug it should not matter that much as long as both ends are terminated and your equi... | |
| XLR connectors Hello, I bought my XLR cables from EBay. I have tried several of their cables. They are from their older lines but they all did well in my system. Diamond Back, Red River, Columbia, and a silver version Mackenzie. I really like the Diamond Back wh... | |
| Considering A SS amplifier Hello,I tried to look up the specs of these speakers. They appear to be 93db efficient. That is very efficient. I have read here at AG when you cannot use enough of your volume it is a bad thing. I believe Klipsch horns have some of the same issue... | |
| What's the difference between a Rel t/9 & T/9i? Hello, This might sound obvious, but can you talk to the manufacturers and let them tell you how to sort this out. I believe I saw a YouTube video about being careful using the Neutrek connection with certain amps. Something about putting too much... | |
| Can speakers sound worse during break-in period? Hello, Maybe we are coming at this in different directions. I still believe in what I said, but if I am understanding this is that the speakers should always sound good and get better. Just like my car analogy. If it sounds bad then something else... | |
| Roon's update sounds really good Hello, I appreciate the insight. Is there a DAC that filters the WiFi signal well. I actually stream from Sonos over WiFi into a Emotiva DAC. It sounds really good to me. Later I would like to get into Roon or Tidal. | |
| Can speakers sound worse during break-in period? Hello,Kenjit, Can you explain why a mechanical object breaking in cannot be measured. A woofer gets better excursion over time. It levels out at a point, but definitely changes. Since the driver is just a motor moving air to make sound the more ef... | |
| Roon's update sounds really good Hello, does the buffering take care of the interruptions like matching the clocks? | |
| Roon's update sounds really good Hello, I thought it was better to use WiFi so you cut down on noise and grounding issues. The router is connected to your ISP. Doesn’t that mean you grab garbage from them? Or is there a filter for that? Please do not comment rudely to this post... |
