| GR Research NX-Extreme I guess it depends on what you are looking for. I find the bass to sound very natural sounding and extremely dynamic, as if you were listening to acoustic instruments in the room. You can still feel the bass, but it's probably a bit closer to what... | |
| RS7 ROON ROCK MUSIC SERVER Seems liked you are paying a lot to get all the pieces preconfigured.I just built a Roon ROCK server based on a NUC8i7. All the parts including a 2TB SSD were under $1000 and it took me about 2 hours to assemble and configure. The only downside of... | |
| Suggestions to replace Aurender A10 with something Roon compatible. Bryston Bdp-2 or Bdp-3 is also worth a look as a streamer. Similar functionality as the M5. If you're using it as just a Roon endpoint, the two are essentially equivalent as long as the BDP-2 has the upgraded audio board. The BDP-2 is available us... | |
| Accounting for slight hearing loss How about putting an acoustic absorption panel on the right wall, but not the left. You'll get a bit more reflected energy from the left which might provide a better balance. | |
| GR Research NX-Otica and Servo OB Subs To answer your second question, I haven’t personally tried my system in a room like this, but others have indicated that open baffle speakers, particular OB subs, have worked much better than traditional speakers in this kind of environment. I sug... | |
| GR Research NX-Otica and Servo OB Subs I haven’t listened to either these, but according to Danny Ritchie, the designer:The Super Mini is not available, is a little faster and more articulate. The NX-Otica MTM is available, plays down lower, has more body and weight. And they sound mo... | |
| GR Research NX-Extreme I built the OB subs with three 12" drivers for each channel. Danny's design can be built with 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 drivers per sub, and flat packed are available for all configurations. The more drivers you have, the less each driver has to work and t... | |
| GR Research NX-Extreme The NX-Oticas are a pretty amazing value if you're willing to put in a little time to put them together. They produce a deep spacious sound stage with excellent clarity and detail and fantastic dynamics. They are very easy to drive with over 93db/... | |
| DIY xlr cables I use the DH Labs Pro Studio bulk interconnect. A bit more expensive than the BL-1, but better cable construction and higher quality dielectric. I have 5 meter lengths between my preamp and poweramp and they sound great. | |
| New Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks just released!!! Was in high bias mode, but fairly efficient speakers so maybe had less effect. | |
| New Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks just released!!! I bought a JC-5 a few months ago after auditioning the JC-1. I found the two amps to have a very similar sonic signature, but the JC-5 was slightly cleaner sounding. The speakers I was using were fairly easy to drive, so the added current capabili... | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i The BDP-2 works very well, particularly as a Roon endpoint. If the BDP-2 includes the upgraded audio board, then there isn't much sound quality difference between it and the BDP-3. The latter has a bigger power supply which might provide a slight ... | |
| Tidal and Spotify royalties If Tidal pays that much per song steamed, they have to rely on the average user streaming way less than 24/7. If the average song is 5 minutes, 24/7 would cost Tidsl $110/month in streaming fees. | |
| Strong bass causing buzzing behind the wall Thanks for the quick responses.The other side of the wall from my listening room is the utility room with the furnace. However, there is a built in book case and a fireplace chimney between the two. From the utility room, I can see what the ductin... | |
