| Parasound JC-2 BP vs Mcintosh C49 I have both the Marantz 8802 and the Parasound JC2-BP. While the 8802 is an excellent home theater processor, the Parasound provides more detail and much better imaging - deeper, broader and more 3-dimensional sound stage. The Marantz sound flat i... | |
| XLR connectors DH Labs has some nice ones that aren't super expensive. | |
| Stuck at home? Make a kit!! Big fan of DIY. Particularly speakers. Bang for the buck is stunning. After building a set of GR-Research NX-Oticas and servo OB subs, I’m a huge fan of Danny’s designs I also think basic DIY cables make a lot of sense, meaning using high quality... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... Last week, I decided to take the plunge and order a Terminator to replace my Yggdrasil (A2 Gen5 USB) that I've had in my system for a little over two years. I've had a chance to compare the Yggy with a few other DACs (similar and lower priced than... | |
| Child Damage Mitigation I had Magneplanar Tympani IVs when my kids were babies/toddlers. These were probably no more stable than your 3.7s. I never had a problem (at least with the kids...the cats were another story). | |
| Non-transferable warranties? I recently had to get service on my Bryston BDP-2. Not only was I at least the third owner, but my unit was slightly outside the warranty window. They fixed it for no charge including return shipping. I've owned a number of Bryston pieces over the... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... The following explanation is based on my understanding of how the Denafrips DACs work from reading their documentation and other postings. I could be wrong in my understanding of the issue.The Denafrips DACs use an internal reclocker when the DAC ... | |
| Digital Coax Cable - Does the Length Make a Difference Shorter USB cables will not be a problem. The biggest difference is that the USB clock is not used to generate the DAC sample clock on modern DACs, so any jitter introduced by reflections from the connection will not cause DAC clock jitter. That's... | |
| Equipment Rack - How important in the grand scheme of things? @kodak805 - Beautiful looking stand (and nice system). Can I ask how much your stand cost you? Thanks,Jay | |
| Equipment Rack - How important in the grand scheme of things? Those Saluda River stands DO look nice. I'll check them out. Thanks. | |
| Equipment Rack - How important in the grand scheme of things? @millercarbon - didn't see your response before posting. I do need a rack since I have limited space for my gear and it has to be organized vertically for the space I have available (other than the power amps). Anyone with experience with the Soli... | |
| Equipment Rack - How important in the grand scheme of things? My room is well treated with tube traps (in the front corners) and many GIK panels - bass trap/diffusors along the front wall, art panel absorbers with scatter plates at first reflection points, 242 panels on the ceiling. I'm pretty happy with the... | |
| Digital Coax Cable - Does the Length Make a Difference @kijanki - you beat me to the punch. :). | |
| Digital Coax Cable - Does the Length Make a Difference Digital cables have signals with very fast rise and fall times. In order to reduce reflections from interfering with the signal transmission, they are spec'ed with a fixed impedance (75 ohms in the case of S/PDIF) driving a load with the same impe... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @hiendmmoe - I also have to disagree with your basic premise. I have not heard these speakers myself, but I'm not willing to dismiss them based on the cost of the drivers. While I agree that, in most cases, a higher priced driver is likely to have... |
