| This is good Schiit... My advice: Buy the Yggdrasil with the best A/D converters. Look up those converters, they aren't cheap and there are four in the unit. Monotonic to 20 bits. That is a spec. that is really hard to meet. I have the Yggi. It has a three dimensionalit... | |
| Who actually heard the Infinity IRS? Audioquest in El Paso Tx. had a pair of IRS5's back in the latter eighties. I helped set them up and the owner and I listened and tweeked them till midnight or so. He had a customer coming in the next day to listen to them. I thought the sound was... | |
| Best speaker crossover caps for deep, tight, detailed and tactfull bass? Generally there are no capacitors in series with the woofer. However there usually is at least one inductor in series with the woof. The lowest series resistance will usually give you the tightest bass. So chose the series inductor accordingly. M... | |
| What do modern, current day CD Transports do that older CDP's with RCA digital out don't? I'm with Jasonbourne on the expensive cd transports. If you look closely at the inside photos of the Jaysaudio and CDbox, the units both use what appears to me, a cheap plastic cd drive inside of an expensive aluminum milled chassis. I have an old... | |
| Some Little Truths about AES/EBU. Glad that you posted this Preston. I always assumed the code was NRZ data. So looked it up. You are correct. The clock is imposed on the data. The data is Biphase Mark encoded. The only difference between AES and optical or coaxial is the differen... | |
| Schiit Mini loko+ I have the LOKI+. In my opinion it is a very transparent unit. Also has a bypass switch on the front. Get there short jumpers while you are at it. | |
| Celestion SL6S I remember hearing the SL6s back in the early 80s. The distributor loaned the dealer a pair. I almost bought them on the spot! Thought they were excellent speakers. | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 stevenmarchesano You are absolutely right about the clock and data jitter affecting the sound quality of the D/A converter. The data coming from a CD transport has to be reformated to the clockless data transmission of the AES/spdif format. A re... | |
| Unknown High Frequency Distortion, Recording or Speaker? You did not say what your source is. Try attenuating the input to your pre-amp. I have found that D/A converter outputs can be too hot for a lot of pre-amps. | |
| Any JBL 4367 owners or opinion? Detail and depth of image are the advantage I hear with JBL horns. A pair of 4333's in my main system. Would love to hear a pair of 4367's. | |
| Speaker brands known to use first class internal components Wow. I see no one mentioned JBL! Look inside their boxes! They were damned sure premium back in the seventies. I'm sure their better speakers still are today. | |
| JBL L-300 Summit Are they still any good? Actually, there is a lot you can do with the L300. They can be restored to sound like they did when new. The diaphragms in the midrange and tweeter can be replaced if necessary, although the tweeter diaphragms are no longer manufactured by JBL. Ra... | |
| Best Speaker for classical music I agree with Dkarmeli (Audio Dealer). If you want a large scale audio display in front of you, seek out a horn based system. | |
| JBL L300 - true myth? I think he made the statement that they were his favorite back when they were current. He redesigned the crossover for the L-300 some years ago. Got rid of the auto former in the mid-range circuit and changed the tweeter section to a first order i... | |
| JBL L300 - true myth? 2216nd used in the JBL M-2 studio monitors. |
