| ADS 810s insulation Sorry I can't help you with the specific insulation question but I owned both the 810 and 520 at the same time for a number of years and also found the 810 too boomy sounding no matter how much I tried with different placements and even different ... | |
| DAC>Streamer>MQA>Wireless besides Bluesound May I ask why ruling out the Bluesound option? | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - owners - heard them! I heard the MK II model at a dealer showroom a few months ago and I'd rate them as the best sound I've ever heard coming out of a box speaker. They also had a pair of Martin Logan 13a and switched between the two and the difference was stunning. I... | |
| Hum in Cary cad 805 AE I'm not familiar with this particular amp but if it has an IEC connector, try a different power cord and see if the buzzing subsides. When I was looking for power cords, there were a couple that caused my amp's transformer to make a very slight bu... | |
| Why are tweeters so high off of the ground in many tower speakers... From Stereophile:"The speaker's balance becomes significantly flatter through the treble for listeners who sit with their ears around 30" from the floor.

| Hum in Cary cad 805 AE Transformers sound is typically more like a buzzing at or around the 60Hz frequency but depending on its surroundings and/or how its attached to the chassis it could sound damped and closer to a hum. | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters "...go-cart must be faster than a Honda Civic because it’s lighter..."It would be if it had the same engine.... Weight is only one of many parameters that affects "performance". It strikes me that folks are talking past each other through this (po... | |
| Channel Imbalance at low volumes Only listen at higher volumes... problem solved. | |
| Moving a 5,000 vinyl LP collection safely I moved my LP collection from Texas to New Jersey using they same/similar boxes with no issues. As long as the LPs are packed tight, completely vertical and boxes are taped properly, the boxes are bulletproof. Temperature should not be an issue in... | |
| Looking for a Cheap DAC? Oppo Sonica doesn't have a transport when I last looked it up but most probably is a better DAC particularly for hi-rez files using USB or SACD sources. The dual Wolfson chip set up in the CA unit is supposedly decent for PCM format files. No pers... | |
| Looking for a Cheap DAC? Why would you get disc player just to use its DAC? If you don't need a transport, for a relatively modest price you can get a Cambridge Audio DACmagic Plus. I've been using one with my old CD player and its pretty decent. I just replaced the wall ... | |
| Schiit Ragnarok Problems (Low QA) "The Amplifier make horrible noise when turn the volume up or down and the music cut during this operation."The tech's response is true for the second half of the statement above. Music will mute the instant(s) the attenuator relay switches betwee... | |
| $100,000 line stage +++ grannyring. Well said. I have friends who have no problem paying $300-$400 for a bottle of wine but question my $1500 amplifier. We have figured a compromise; they bring the wine and I provide the music and all is good. | |
| $100,000 line stage For me, the only interesting aspects of reading about these uber gear, be it electronics, cars, yachts, etc., is to learn about the technology and the workmanship used in creating these objects of desire. And in some cases, they are truly works of... | |
| Schiit Ragnarok Problems (Low QA) If it were me, I'd send it back right away and ask for a replacement. Not saying this is what happened but places that have a generous home trial policy sometimes may inadvertently reship a component without a full (re) inspection. This has happen... |
