Speaker relative efficiency/sensitivity when using a high pass filter

Whats on your turntable tonight?
At least you got to see them! And btw, it's the Schnitzer auditorium or as some of us like to lovingly call it "the schnitz."  
A post on AC Voltage Regulators - Why you might want one
Interesting timing. I have been monitor the voltage in my home for about a month now. I started with it placed in a kitchen outlet and it was very stable at 121 volts. One day when I was making toast the voltage dropped about 2 volts. I since m...

Too many speaker variables for you to evaluate certain capabilities of the DAC. I admire your patience though. I would have put my speakers back in by now ;)

@kclone With the caliber of your electronics it's not too surprising that the Polks sound really good!  Many years (20?) ago I was breaking in a pair of Paradigm Atoms for my daughter using, at the time, all Audio Research electronics and they sou...

@midwesternaudio I would assume you welcome inquiries and technical questions about the DAC from those interested in learning more about the Musetec DA005.  Also, any comparisons with other DACS would be welcome here too with the usual caveat that...

FWIW, I fire up the DA005, my preamp, and Pass Labs x-350.5 amp all within 10 seconds of each other!  Those Pass caps are pulling lots of current no doubt.  No problems.  I'd work around the Equi-Core for the time being until you figure out what t...

Impressive and not glitzy! I like!  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
That's odd. I'd avoid the Equi Core until you get that figured out. You have nice equipment. Leave the DA 005 on standby when not in use. The hardness that you hear will fluctuate and then disappear. The DAC allowed me to hear very subtle cha...

@kclone Congratulations!  You're in for a treat and I don't think it will take 400 hours for it to all come together.  How are you using the DAC, with a streamer, computer, transport?  What cables and inputs are you using?  If you have any questio...

Here is my experience using the usb input to the DA005. I am using a MacBook Pro laptop running on its battery until I get a dedicated streamer. Before the DA005 I was using an Ayre Codex DAC. I found that an UpTone IsoRegen benefitted the usb wit...

@yyzsantabarbara if you are truly on their payroll then you better get your boss' name correct:  MUSETEC! 😉😁  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@btscott When it is fully broken in, maybe you can share more details about how you are using it i.e. with a transport, streaming from a laptop or dedicated streamer, etc. Also, which inputs sound best to you? I have shared some of my findings in ... 
CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
@atmasphere Any plans to develop a higher power version of these amps, or a stereo ~350 wpc doubling into 4 ohms class D (similar to bel canto black ex) with the same sonic profile as your new monos?  I'm asking because I wonder if these 100 watt ... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I just wanted to provide an update on my experience with the Musetec DA-005.  I am running two inputs into the DAC: one from my CD player being used as a transport and one from my MacBook Pro playing local files using Audirvana and streaming using...
