| What exactly is PRaT??? This Hendrix song has it in spades, at least for me https://youtu.be/wtveDXqvdL8?si=Rx_jL3NnJ5h7l4qe | |
| Magico A3 or A1+Sub A3, especially if you can only get one sub. I haven’t heard the A3 in a while but I’m pretty sure it goes down to something like 22hz. The A3 will likely sound more coherent as well being a single cabinet rather than stand mounts and integrated ... | |
| DAC question - is music streamer DAC better than mcintosh DA2? I believe the only pure analog integrated amps they make are the hybrid amps, the 352 and 252 | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? PRaT seems like the pornography of the audio world, I can’t define it but I know it when I hear it. | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? That Chris Rea song is garbage. Hard to find PRaT in garbage. It’s got everything that made music suck in the 80s. Bombino is a better example. It still seems like no one can come up with a definition but plenty of examples of what they think it i... | |
| " the best Tweak ever in the entire audio industry" What am I missing? Didn’t that video make pretty much the same statement about the Sparkos as Danny? Listening to a YouTube video through headphones is not the way to discern for yourself what something really sounds like. That said, I could tell... | |
| Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker Raidho, Scansonic, Perlisten, and Borresen come to mind. I’ve not heard any of them though and I don’t know what you’re looking for other than form factor. If you give more information on the sound you’re interested in there are lots of people a... | |
| Stand Mount Speakers for Classic Rock that sound alive at lower volumes ? Fritz or Fyne would work nicely. I listen to a lot of classic rock at somewhat low volumes, usually somewhere in between 50-70db. I have a pair of Fritz that I run with 2 subs and it sounds very good to my ears. While it sounds very good at low... | |
| DAC question - is music streamer DAC better than mcintosh DA2? @oddiofyl i can run mine all day and it barely breaks a sweat. When I put my hand on the heat sinks they’re barely warm. And it sounds outstanding. | |
| DAC question - is music streamer DAC better than mcintosh DA2? Lots of integrated amps have built in DACs. That is the appeal, that you get all sorts of functionality in one box. Those integrated amps also have phono stages but it’s likely that many folks would tell you to get an external one. Only you can... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? I keep reading words like transient response, time aligned drivers, authenticity, musicality to describe PRaT. Why not just use those words rather than some esoteric acronym? It also seems to be as much a property of the music itself as the system... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? It seems just as subjective as anything in this hobby. | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? I use a MacBook Pro connected via USB to a Hermes DDC connected via I2S to a Pontus II. I think it sounds excellent. I had a HiFi Rose 250a before the Denafrips stack that sounded really good but not as good as the laptop and Denafrips. I recen... | |
| Rel T/7x sub sound improvement but… @sls883 brings up a good point as well, if the sub stands out you’ve likely got some integration to work on with crossover, volume and phase as well as placement. | |
| Rel T/7x sub sound improvement but… Feel free to move the sub around to get the sound you want. The REL instructions are a suggested starting point. I know you stated you don’t want a second sub but I would highly recommend one. I had one previously and upgraded to two and it reduce... |
