| Thoughts on an older REL sub? q201 getting pretty old check the woofer surrounds make sure they are not disintegrating, and also the plate amp to make sure it is quiet (they go bad with aging caps etc) older smaller rel subs are much slower than modern ones, i would consider... | |
| Speaker's amplifer minimum power recommedation there is no standard for this always assume worst case if you want to make sure you supply enough amp power, the amp being spec’d by the speaker maker should and will obviously be delivering its power into the actual speaker load, not some nomina... | |
| Audio Note DAC Owners- please share your thoughts glad to see you back here and posting with your tremendous experience and knowledge @tvad i have had similar experiences with pretty much indistinguishable sonic differences between the weiss 501 (pre 4ch) and the bricasti m1 se mdx (min 2 filte... | |
| OCD mickey website and negativity. real folks here should make sure their b-s meters are working... there are layers upon layers of it here | |
| roon sound wasn't as good properly implemented using a sufficiently powerful and dedicated server, and using proper connections with proper galvanic isolation to the downstream components, i have found that roon does not degrade sound some companies like innuos et al esse... | |
| Network Acoustics Products? i agree with the comment expressed that the na passive filters tend to smooth/dull the sound of the streamed content subtly i prefer the etherregen (and outboard clock) to handle the incoming ethernet feed personally, it is what i settled on afte... | |
| LTA Ultralinear Plus Integrated vs. Pass Labs XA25/EAR 868pl op the m3 sapphires certainly did not work me, glad they are working for you i have not had the smaller lta ultralinear amp, sorry, so i cannot comment directly on that... i have quite a store of old stock british and dutch el34 and kt77 tubes f... | |
| Need suggestions on a streaming solution! yes for the zenstream, i definitely agree that a better power supply (lps) lets the unit perform at its best | |
| Need suggestions on a streaming solution! ifi zen stream bluesound node (consider the built in dac a throw-away) eversolo a6 (ditto above) | |
| LTA Ultralinear Plus Integrated vs. Pass Labs XA25/EAR 868pl i have both the pass xa25 as well as the lta zotl reference+ amp i did have the spatial m3 sapphires but sold them before long as i found the treble aggressiveness unbearable (as much as i liked what the speaker did otherwise) based on this expe... | |
| Question about adjusting the balance what fuzztone said this whole hobby is about pleasing our ears with music so do what it takes to achieve just that OUR ears | |
| Advice regarding separate DAC purchase Seems there's a consensus among you that this may be closer to a lateral move as others have said... don't think this is correct ... but whether it is worth the op's while given his overall system, i dunno | |
| Eversolo DMP -A8 Server,Dac, Streamer,Preamp - best bang for the Buck i have the master edition a6 streamer/dac and now i have tried the same unit with lps upgrade (a worthwhile upgrade for resolving systems) very very nice sounding unit in the ’clear and clean’ school... a convincing facsimile of the weiss dac sch... | |
| Advice regarding separate DAC purchase I would concentrate on the sound characteristics of the DAC and not the technology. Denfrips are highly regarded DACs for their price. I’ll let someone else chime in on the contrasting the two. solid advice above from @ghdprentice the op did ... | |
| Maggies and subwoofer integration let’s not confuse generalities with specifics: -- sure sub swarms of 3-4-5 subs work well, but in the op’s 11x13 room it might just be overkill... -- someone who hasn’t heard maggies with subs well integrated, well they simply haven’t heard this... |
