| The best way to break in speakers. Break-in tracks won't damage speakers but other tracks might do. It is enough for the player to get out of repeat mode or for the owner to make mistake and engage "repeat disk" instead of "repeat track". I'm just saying be careful and check what i... | |
| The best way to break in speakers. Play them normally and enjoy. Test CDs might contain tracks that could damage speakers. Stereophile Test CD, for instance, contains track with high frequencies at 0dB that can fry tweeters if amp is set to normal listening levels. | |
| Oppo 95 vs. Mac Mini + dac Berylium tweeters are much better than aluminum dome ones. In addition the one in Paradigm Studios v2 was $20 Vifa, made by (or for) Paradigm. If I remember correctly Stereophile review of Electra 1037 it is very neutral sounding.Benchmark still c... | |
| Balanced or Not You still get benefit of common mode noise rejection using balanced cables even if amplifier is not fully differential. You also get benefit of better, safer locking connectors. Balanced cables are better, IMHO, but it is matter of your environmen... | |
| Oppo 95 vs. Mac Mini + dac Benchmark is pretty much a reclocker (asynchronous data rate converter). ECD-1 being upsampler might have similar ability but can only go as far as jitter of its internal clock allows. The best would be to borrow reclocker and just try if you can ... | |
| Oppo 95 vs. Mac Mini + dac Kzhtoo, I use AE with Benchmark DAC1 that has strong jitter suppression. Music is on external Firewire HD of MacMini that I also use for other tasks. I also use 5GHz 802.11n Linksys router with dual band adapter on the MAC side (has only 2.4GHz). ... | |
| Oppo 95 vs. Mac Mini + dac Kzhtoo - when you download music wirelessly (Airplay) from MacMini or Iphone/Ipad playback program becomes unimportant (unless it does additional processing like upsampling). MacMini side (playback program, memory, disk, power supply) is not impor... | |
| stereo system evaluation--objective or subjective Mrtennis,The answer is no. Technical measurements are objective but often gear that measures best sounds the worst. | |
| stereo system evaluation--objective or subjective Geoffkait, That's true, but evaluating TV picture is not that simple. Where it comes to sharp/soft or cold/warm static picture anybody can see it right away, but when the same picture looks very different at 240Hz refresh rate it become complex. M... | |
| Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater? ....and you have no experience with the 901's.I just questioned if you can get good sound level from such small speaker in very large room, even if you use four of them for the front. | |
| Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater? Yes, Revels are expensive and might be not be to your liking but putting a lot of (from what I've heard) average speakers won't make for quality. I cannot speak of multispeaker home theater systems since I've never had one, but having high quality... | |
| Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater? Just judging by the size of your room 901 speakers won't fill it with sound. Why you even try average speaker company like Bose? Why not to go to something like for instance Revel Saloon, that can pressurize room like that and provide extension do... | |
| Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater? I've heard Bose 301, that my friend bought, and it sounded pretty good for $300 speaker, but I wouldn't call it high end (far from it). I bought, perhaps 20 years ago, cheapest of Acoustimass series set consisting of two speakers and subwoofer. I ... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Mapman, That's how I feel about it too, right or wrong. I believe that adding additional components or cables might bring relieve in some areas but has to lead to overall lack of transparency. I absolutely agree with you that tweaks, at one point,... | |
| stereo system evaluation--objective or subjective Plato, Saying that I argue for sake of arguing is rude, therefore I don't care to discuss anything with you either. |
