| Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns "speaker placement alone done properly is the biggest single improvement I ever made."Ditto, and cheapest as well. In particular, soundstage and image specificity most improved. In my experience, improving AC power delivery only helped with lower ... | |
| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? I don't have any experience with this specific system but assuming your source is digital, in a (friend's) similarly revealing system moving to an MHDT Pagoda non-oversampling DAC rounded everything out. Poor AC can also manifest itself as excessi... | |
| If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you. "...101 db 1 watt softdome tweeter does not exist 8 inch woofers good to 35hz at 101 db also do not exist."I must confess I'm also intrigued by the 101dB sensitivity specs. Like to better understand how's that accomplished. | |
| Chord Hugo power supply help erik, thanks for the explanation. So you're saying since the R is device dependent and fixed, the V is what limits the amount of I delivered to the device. So technically the specified current is the minimum. | |
| Chord Hugo power supply help "Make sure V are the same, and that your power supply A is equal or greater than what Hugo wants."I don't think you can go too much higher in the amps than what is specified for the unit. P=VI, 12Vx1.5A= 18 Watts. That's the power requirement. | |
| Streamer always on? Temperature cycling is a common method for testing component reliability and life testing. Most if not all discrete electrical components last longer when temperature cycling is minimized or avoided altogether. | |
| First system You should audition the Sprout 100 and LS50 pairing before you commit. It will probably sound real good but I think you can get an equally good sound with speakers half its price when paired with the Sprout. The full potential of the LS50 will not... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming sfcfran, your analogy while interesting is highly exaggerated and not completely accurate. Musical content just like other "data" is transmitted through packets and there are mechanisms along the path to ensure the integrity of the packets. Its no... | |
| To tweet or not... I can’t comment on your specific system but adding a super tweeter is not as simple as you might think. To do it right, you will need to make sure the super tweeter has similar or very close sensitivity; dB/1m/1w, so the volume matches the panel’s... | |
| Streamer always on? Interesting. Didn’t know that. | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming rvpiano, maybe I missed it but did you mention what CD player you have? Someone else had a similar experience as yours using an Esoteric K-05x player which is obviously difficult to match with most if not all streaming devices. It needs to be appl... | |
| Which power cords should I look at? "...this will be my last and only reply to you, here on this thread..."Thanks! Yours outburst was completely misplaced. | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect Its all relative. I have friends who think spending $100 on cables is stupid and they are rich enough to afford much more expensive cables. | |
| Streamer always on? My Node2 has been on for the past 2 years....Actually, it doesn't even have an on/off switch. | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) “It is also, for some basic acoustic and technical reasons.... the hardest part to get right...”My experience as a listener is very different. I find even very moderately priced 2-way speakers have little trouble reproducing the so-called midrange... |
