| Audio envy - dang! I contacted Captain to ask about an XLR to RCA cable to go out from my new API equalizer to my preamp.He said he could make one to my specifications when I was ready. After some experiments with adapters and cables with different wiring configurat... | |
| Searching for a little more warmth OP I own ZUs also and love their sound enough to make decisions that bring out the best in them.As others have mentioned a dac known for it's warm characteristics, a couple of subs (SVS with equalizer is a good option),and experimenting with room ... | |
| Wool Blankets as Room treatment If you like the look of the blankets hung like tapestries, then put insulation panels or diffusers behind the blankets. | |
| Covers for racks to keep dust off? Digitaldeckcovers.com will custom make them to your specifications. For speakers also. | |
| Loud vs. Tactile Bass gdaddy1 is correct. Virtually all the bass is in the lower midrange. Your room has a lot to do with it too.Standing waves and room modes will interfere with hearing clean bass. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @ditusa that's a lot of knobs to adjust:-) That's not a criticism. Too many for me as a newbie though!Concerning noisy opamps - I can only speak from my limited experience. My API is dead silent.Nary a click or hiss.There's no issue having it stac... | |

| Customs delay from China. How long should I reasonably wait? Not China but a package from New Zealand got hung up in customs for two months. It's nerve wracking. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @ellajeanelle there is absolutely no hiss.In fact there is not even an audible click when switching to bypass or back again. This is with very sensitive Zu speakers.I'm using it between the dac and pre. When reading what other users think of the S... | |
| Bootleg bust Pretty cool. Kudos for being polite but firm with the clerk. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @ellajeanelle I'll leave a link for you.I bought it as a step up from the Lokius,which was my first tentative step towards parametric equalizers. I was skeptical about adding another cable and component but curious enough to try it for a modest o... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @audiorusty running the cables around the perimeter is tricky because of two doorways to navigate either under or over. Old weird farmhouse. If I decide I really want it nearby then I'll put some more thought into it. @ellajeanelle the API unit I... | |
| To loom or not to loom? I have had entire looms of Audioquest, WireWorld,and ZenWave.At present ICs and SCs are Voodoo Audio with several brands of PCs.IMHO if there is enough variety of flavor, spice,tone,whatever in a manufacturer's lines a loom will work for anybody. ... | |
