| DIY high end speakers? Be sure to check out Electronic Visionary Systems (EVS) and give Ric Schultz a call. I know him to be a good guy and has a new line of open baffle designs (originally insired by the Emerald Physics CS-2, but have since gone way beyond) that, while... | |
| Laying it on the line “I learned that most manufactured components are built to a price point and many manufacturers really don't know sound. When you look inside a $10K preamp, the parts are nothing special such as capacitors, resistors, volume controls”. “I see upgra... | |
| Anyone have experience with "burn-in generators"? Ok, here goes. Have the frybaby. Works as advertised really. Dont want to take away anything from anyone elses experiences here, but havent yet encountered any kind of attenuating of the highs or softening of the bass on anything Ive tried it ... | |
| DAC with defeatable upsampling I use a Ric Schultz-modified Behringer DEQ-2496. With the DAC, new analog output stage mod, linear power supply, new DAC chip and new clock mod would be about $1k, maybe less. Switchable between 96k and NOS. Selectable dither settings as well, not... | |
| Searching for better 2 channel performance? Emotiva has a new preamp coming out, but it's $1500. The NAD T175 might be a possiblity and there's one being offered here at Agon for $875. | |
| Searching for better 2 channel performance? Steve, just saw your last post. Congrats on the Bryston amp, BTW. I don't know if you can find one on the used market in your price range or not, but you might try the Wyred 4 Sound preamp. | |
| Searching for better 2 channel performance? Ths364 Johnson is right about Loomis Johnson being right! If it were me I might consider the amp as the first place to start looking, but as mentioned it could be several several factors: speaker positioning (correct long-wall placement can be bet... | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved Thanks again Hfisher3380, not too many worries about the initial pitfalls for me though - I'm currently far too broke to make all my mistakes first with cash anyway (my situation normal). And I firmly believe that time is on my side and there's no... | |
| How many still listen to CD's daily. Have a CD-only sourced system...so, like all the time...! | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved Thanks for the pointer Hfisher3380 - I think I'm beginning to see the light...this definitely looks like something I want to keep my eye on. | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved I agree with you Petty. Some folks out there already know the very limitations you point out with computer audio and they are beginning to take matters into their own hands and move the ball forward, not waiting around for the industry to catch up... | |
| best vintage stereo receiver I can vouch for the Luxman R-117, very nice tuner and overall sound. | |
| Power conditioning for digital gear AND tube amp? There is a relative newcomer that Ive tried and had great (miraculous) success with, but hes not yet widely known. Alan at Alan Maher Designs (facebook) has a 2012 line-up he calls Quantum or Q. The whole AMD thing is different all the way a... | |
| Some old cables rescued me from computer audio. If you're going to leave them separated, which I recommend (pairing the same kind of wires is likely better than electrically different ones), you should probably try to give them 6-8 inches of spacing between them for the most open sound. I too u... | |
| Are two smaller subs better than one larger? It depends. In general one larger sub will have more low-end extension than two smaller ones, but two smaller will be a bit faster than a single larger cone. 2 subs allow stereo separation above the point at which bass begins to become directional... |
