| CDs And Green Markers. Please Don’t Laugh. Funny thing is, every disc that I treated with ‘CD Stoplight’ sounds great. They are still among my collection, and I very well may have treated those that I thought sounded good in the first place- so confirmation bias or something like that? Li... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers FWIW, I have the Taket Batpro 2 supertweeters on top of my Spatial M3 Turbos, and use a couple of pea sized pieces of Mortite- it’s a rope caulk similar to Blu-tack. It’s held firmly in place for three months and counting. You can’t even tell it’s... | |
| Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x https://legacyaudio.com/products/view/signature-seNot at all clinical sounding and designed for closer wall placement. You’ll certainly get a lot of recommendations, so best of luck. My system is also in my living room- it can be harder to place e... | |
| ezcrossover contact info You’re probably way ahead of me, but I know he advertised his services on the AC website at the GR Research circle. Maybe try him through there. | |
| sensitivity question I will say this regarding speaker specs- I recently auditioned two speakers in my home- one manufacturer (Wharfedale Linton) stated the sensitivity at 90 db, the other (SVS Prime Pinnacle) 88 db. The SVS played louder for a given volume level, and... | |
| Looking for a good Bluetooth speaker JBL Flip or Charge models. Multiple ones to choose from. Excellent sound quality. JBL touts the waterproof capabilities, though I’m not sure about it floating. A number of friends and myself do love the sound quality. | |
| Volume demands for crossover change It may seem contradictory, but it’s usually amps with not enough power that damage speakers. You have no such issue- you have an amp that puts out 300 wpc into 8 ohms, and 500 wpc into 4 ohms. Even if those specs are optimistic, you’ve got it cove... | |
| Volume demands for crossover change https://www.manualslib.com/manual/600202/Nht-Vt-1a.htmlThe manual does show a 3db difference in sensitivity between the two settings. Every 3db drop in sensitivity requires twice as much amplifier power. I’m not sure exactly how that would manifes... | |
| Between a Node 2i and DAC: Does Coax cable quality really matter? I have a Node 2i, and recently upgraded the coax SPDIF cable and there certainly was an improvement to my ears. I went from a budget Blue Jeans Cable to a Kimber D60. You’re starting from a higher plateau, but the question was will I hear a differ... | |
| Open Letter To REL, SVS, Hsu, etc., et al Thank you. | |
| Open Letter To REL, SVS, Hsu, etc., et al Sure thing drussell. Those tracks are exactly what will be helpful. I’ve been using a cd from Alan Parsons- ‘Sound Check’ from ‘93. It gives some CD players fits- it has 92 tracks, and navigating them can be a pain. Small quirks make it less than ... | |
| Open Letter To REL, SVS, Hsu, etc., et al I forgot this is Audiogon, where no snide or snarky comment goes untyped. | |
| Open Letter To REL, SVS, Hsu, etc., et al Thank you drussell. | |
| Open Letter To REL, SVS, Hsu, etc., et al I thought about the cd player thing as I was writing- I added the mention of the major streaming services further down in my post figuring that. I bought my first sub circa 2000, and have bought at least one from each of the above companies over t... | |
| Need Some Ideas/Thoughts for Speakers for New Luxman 590axii Ah... I have the amp- and I’ve tried a few different speakers. One thing is- it will drive most any load- several reviews with measurements attest to this. It was spectacular with Legacy Focus SE with the latest AMT tweeter. It IS spectacular with... |
