| moving from house to an apartment.. goodbye 802D's I'm not sure you have to get rid of them. In any case you should decouple speakers from the floor with vibrapods or something similar. | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House @bigkidz Yes, it would be better to say "I've heard many class D amps". I liked class D from the beginning and in 2008 posted a list of class D makers (today likely much longer). There are over 50 companies on this list and most of them make mor... | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House @cal3713 Yes, it is interesting idea. Not only for the possible upgrade, but also in case of power element failure. Performing musicians enjoy ease of tube change in comparison to power transistor replacement. The only negative I can see is the... | |
| Audio PC I plugged my computer into outlet on different phase (I use WiFi). Digital transmission may produce timing jitter that will translate to added noise, proportional to signal and present only when music is present, causing loss of clarity (during g... | |
| Advice needed: replacing tweeter in PSB Image 4T My replacement tweeter had the same DC resistance, same impedance at 1kHz, same efficiency and the same build (short horn), but result was strange. I verified phase using small battery and magnifying glass. New tweeter had more pronounced very h... | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House Never mentioned 95 amps but 95%. If you really want to know or experience something you need to bring into your home and i do, i need to know for myself.Most of people don't even know how many class D amps are out there. Do you?How many class D a... | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House You listened to 95 different class D amps in your home??? I don't believe you (to put it gently). | |
| Does removing "interface jitter" help, if my source has jitter? Benchmark does not recover clock from the data. It ignores it (asynchronous rate converter). Benchmark specifies insane jitter tolerance of 12.75 UI bellow 3kHz and 1.5 UI above it. At audible frequency of 10kHz jitter tolerance would be 0.1ms ... | |
| Isolating Transmission Line speakers from floor It is possible that spikes reduce energy transfer (extremely small contact point) but more likely they allow better coupling (especially on the carpet) to the floor. As long as floor has lower resonance point than 20Hz it will reduce speaker vibr... | |
| Should I list all my classical CDs? I would keep them, just in case, but to give it away Library would be my first choice. | |
| Does removing "interface jitter" help, if my source has jitter? Any jitter on S/Pdif will be suppressed. It doesn't matter what introduced this jitter (CDP or digital cable). The only jitter that cannot be removed is recorded jitter. Early digital recordings were sometimes done with poor, jittery A/D clock.... | |
| Pontus, Brooklyn+ or Benchmark 3? Pros and Cons My DAC3 HGC and AHB2 are great at very low levels (90dB speakers). Both have XLR level adjustment and Benchmark recommends to set the highest DAC3 HGC output and the highest AHB2 input levels. That way gain is moved from power amp to DAC - quie... | |
| Pontus, Brooklyn+ or Benchmark 3? Pros and Cons I had Benchmark DAC1 and now have Benchmark DAC3 HGC. Sound is fuller more vivid and cleaner - big improvement. HGC version is more expensive but remote is included in price while analog inputs or headphone amp might be useful one day. | |
| What is the average life expectancy of a DAC? Electronic will last 40+ years. What about you? | |
| I just bought a Steinway which sounds like a banjo. John Siau, chief engineer of Benchmark Media wrote:"Personally, I do not like what warm sounding equipment does to the sound of a piano. Warmth is wonderful on vocals, guitars and certain instruments, but it beats against the stretched overtones o... |
