| Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP? That is true and an important point. I use optical as my router is 100+ ft from the ER. I needed to try and consult with people on several different converters prior to settling. Difference in SQ was obvious. | |
| Best amp for Salon 2 I have had very good success driving the Salon2 with the larger BAT Amps. | |
| Room acoustics Interesting topic. I’ve seen people experiment with all kinds of instruments in the room, including placing violins / acoustic guitars and other string instruments on the front wall. Obviously some methods are more expensive than others, kinda d... | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core Glad to hear. That’s an excellent option to start with. Works for me wonderfully. I have tried a couple of Linear Power Supplies (LPS) and other tweaks with my NUC and have been really impressed with even the USB connection SQ to the DAC The Fara... | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core I now have the Fan-less NUC running on a nice linear power supply and I do like the sound better. Basically I perceive a lower noise floor. I did not think it was possible anymore, but I do like it better. Tried few days with Quboz and local fil... | |

| JL Audio CR-1 Crossover hi @ozzy 90Hz is what JL recommends. Also, I tried several from 70hz to 110 and did not like other x-over frequencies any better. Regardless if it's 80 or 90, I believe the most important part is to find the right phasing on each sub. That's ... | |
| JL Audio CR-1 Crossover @ozzy - I cross over at 90 HZ with CR-1 | |
| JL Audio CR-1 Crossover The CR-1 has been a very impactful addition to my system for 2 years now. The main improvement was unexpected; the speaker's (high frequency and midrange) output became clearer. JL explained that it’s due to the speakers being alleviated from the ... | |
