| GIK alternatives For basic absorption panels, I've also had good luck with Silent Source, particularly their Guilford of Maine wrapped "Acoustic Wall Panels". These do not have any wood framework - they are made from PCF glass fiberboard with resin-hardened edges.... | |
| Anyone buy one yet? Thoughts? If I was in the market for a streamer, I'd probably give this a shot. I've been pretty impressed with the price-performance of Denafrips gear. I use Roon with Qobuz and Tidal subscriptions as well as a fair amount of local files. I don't really ca... | |
| DSP Active Crossover @lewinskih01 I received the dspNexus a few days ago, but I've been buried with work so haven't had a chance to do anything with it yet. I've got a measurement mic on order that should be here early next week. I'm hoping to find some time in the ... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? Kettle corn for me please. | |
| DSP Active Crossover I spent a while researching the Trinnov Nova, but decided to go with the Danville dspNexus. The Nova would have cost $5500 ($3500 + two additional 2-channel licenses at $1000 each) compared to $3000 for the dspNexus. But even at the same cost, t... | |
| DSP Active Crossover @arion - Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The Trinnov Nova looks like an interesting unit, but is considerably more expensive than the Danville dspNexus, particularly for the six channels that I need. It also seems to be focused more o... | |
| DSP Active Crossover @jwr159 - I talked to Al Clark on the phone for close to 40 minutes today (he likes to talk) and I'm going to go ahead and order the dspNexus from him. | |
| DSP Active Crossover Hard to say how complicated this will be without knowing your system, and what the passive crossover does. @erik_squires - My system is described on my Main System virtual system page, but to elaborate a bit more - my speaker system is a dipole... | |
| DSP Active Crossover @bdp24 - I don’t think Danny is a fan of active crossovers, but partly because a lot of his excellent skills in passive crossover design. But Richard Hollis from Hollis Audio Labs has had some good success (according to others) using DSP crossover... | |
| Are your listening levels healthy? Doing damage? I certainly listened too loud when I was younger and my tinnitus today is the result. Actually, I started having tinnitus symptoms when I was about 40, (~25 years ago). I really regret not paying more attention to my hearing in my 20s and 30s. I... | |
| Audio / Stereo Rack I'll also add that it's nice to have configuration flexibility. When I first bought the SolidTech rack, I configured it as a single wide four shelf rack. By purchasing a few additional pieces, I was able to reconfigure it as shown in my previous p... | |
| Audio / Stereo Rack I'm not sure if you plan to put more than two components side by side on each shelf, but if not, I can recommend the SolidTech rack. It is very configurable to meet your needs. | |
| PS Audio Power Plant P3 to P12 @tunefuldude - Thanks for the album recommendation. Nice mellow jazz which I do appreciate. As with most recordings from this timeframe, sound-staging is not as good as with modern recordings, but otherwise it is well recorded and pleasant to list... | |
| Pre-amp with solid state/passive AND tube modes (Like Schiit Freya+) @strateahed @mc1969 - Edit - I was wrong with my original post. This does look fully balanced from input to output. The seven DPDT relays per channel are adequate for balanced attenuation. | |
| horn or line array? They are DIy based on a design developed by Danny Ritchie (GR-Research). These were originally designed as a commercial product for Serenity Acoustics. Each speaker has six Bohlender-Graebener NEO10 planar-magnetic drivers and sixteen NEO3 drivers... |
