| Dac suitible for both bookshelf and floorstanding The new DACMagic...?? $650 | |
| Dedicating circuits and fancy power outlets I think Elizabeth has it right in a nutshell. I'm supposing, at least, this is why so many people have relative success with it: it gets rid of other devices on the AV circuit. No, in reality here, there's really no such thing as circuit isolation... | |
| Preamp or power amp has more impact to resolution? There is always one (big) thing you can do about preamp/amp resolution downstream...power conditioning. Elizabeth is quite right about that. | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? Ric can be contacted at his website EVS audio (Electronic Visionary Systems) and his location is in California. From there you can email or just phone him as I do. You'll find Ric very easy to talk to about anything. Just make sure with him (or me... | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? Sorry River251, just noticed your Q above about an actual HiFi-quality parametric. What I use is a Ric Schultz-modified Behringer DEQ-2496. Have a rather minimalist 2.0 system: Onkyo carousel changer as transport, out to a Monarchy DIP Combo, out ... | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? River251, for bass below 200hz try checking out the Cathedral Sound Panels. They are not absorption panels but instead work on the venturi principle which says that a gas moving through a small opening will speed up which in turn is related to pre... | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? I tend to side with Zman here. The usual sorts of room treatments likely won't amount to much more for you than a band-aid type of fix at best. If it were me and not knowing your budget limitations, I might consider, until you can get a better roo... | |
| Parasound Halo A21 - Power conditioner? Halo Dealer may just be referring to the known sonic shortcommings of using traditional power conditioners, particularly when it comes to amps which are dynamically dependent on using the most watts, the loss of macrodynamics being the most common... | |
| DAC/Pre's Digital attenuation vs. analog Doh!!, just reread your OP and realised you're looking for specific advice, not general, sorry. My vote (of the 3 you mention) might be for the DAC2, provided you feel 16 db of attenuation is ok for you. This would inherently be a bit better (or a... | |
| DAC/Pre's Digital attenuation vs. analog Hi Robert, whether going digital or analog with attenuation it's all really about the impedance matching. Just like having to impedance match your speakers with your amps, you also have to do the same with your source and your amp, if you haven't ... | |
| Y connector from pre-out to powered sub and... This will not present a hazard, but it will be very slightly less than ideal sonically - just a very slight (and I believe quite tolerable) whitening up of the highs in the CJ. The determining factor will likely be whether or not the CJ actually h... | |
| Amp design logic (oops, hit the post button too soon). These people approach buying audio the way they may buy a new car for themselves - they may ask their friends what they like, take a peek on the internet to see what folks are saying about it and they may also... | |
| Amp design logic You're right that the total components don't nearly add up to $50k. What you're basically paying for, apart from good design and execution, is for the most part the sheer mystique that such a product has - especially the mystique that becomes atta... | |
| best sound for a classical and jazz cd I guess you're already familiar with Mapleshade for Jazz?? | |
| Digital vs Analog - A supposition... I tend to be of the opinion that analog (of sufficient quality) tends to be at least as good as or better than digital as a rule. HOWEVER, I've come to the conclusion over the years that vinyl (noiseless though it indeed may be under proper circum... |
