| Recommendation for speaker wire upgrade I used AQ Indigo long time ago and upgraded to Acoustic Zen Satori - very nice speaker cable | |
| DAC that re-clocks for under $1000? Benchmark DAC1 ($995) | |
| Meridian 808.2 CD Player...... "Forget what John Atkinson said about dcs and meridian. It is the red book performance what makes puccini so special"Meridian 802.2 is not SACD player. John Atkinson was talking about Meridian's redbook performance. | |
| Bass reinforcement for very large room Drew - Are you talking about peaks and valleys caused by standing waves or just room resonances? I read that Planars and Electrostats are praised for the lack of nodes/standing waves - I guess this is the 180 degree back wave type. I never had thi... | |
| Bass reinforcement for very large room One more thought - have you tried to rotate bass units? it shouldn't affect imagining since crossover cuts at 220Hz. I assume you have standing wave along the room. Directing bass units inward toward sidewalls might change it (but it looks ugly). ... | |
| Bass reinforcement for very large room I'm not sure you need two subs. Scheme with two subs is often used when you need to equalize bass in large listening area (home theater with many rows of seats). For fixed listening position one sub properly placed should be ok especially one that... | |
| Bass reinforcement for very large room Does your amp have enough power? I have the same Hyperion 938 speakers in 15x25 room with ceiling sloping from 12' to 20' and can get really loud powerful bass with Rowland 102 (class D) amp (150W at 6 Ohm). If it is a bass node (valley) you shoul... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Vince - Yes, I can recognize piano when I hear one (I think), but we're talking about subtle differences and perfect aural memory (mine is far from it). When Learsfool, musician by trade, says that remembering exact sound is difficult (if "referen... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Vince - I have many piano recordings and each of them is different (some very different). Even same modern Steinway can sound very different (not talking about other brands, non cast iron plate pianos or uprights). At each concert they also sound ... | |
| Meridian 808.2 CD Player...... Stereophile's John Atkinson reviewed it http://stereophile.com/cdplayers/meridian_8082808i2_signature_reference_cd_playerpreamplifier/It has different digital filtering (apodizing digital filter). John Atkinson named it the best player he ever hea... | |
| Am I limiting current to my amps and sub? Joelz - Limiting compare to what? If you compare to sound without conditioner than just plug them directly to the wall and compare. I have Furman Elite 20PFi. It changed the sound in positive direction - removed bass resonance I had at one upper b... | |
| Bel Canto Power Supply change to 230V? How? It requires setting voltage selector on the module to 230V and changing fuse on the module to:230V Mains: T6.3AH 250V Wickmann/Littlefuse series 181 or series 215T: time-lag H: high-breaking 5*20mm, according to IEC60127-2/5 and UL248.14This info ... | |
| stereo amp vs monoblocks, any advantages? Markwatkiss - no advantage but I can think of one disadvantage: two power cords (good cords might be expensive). | |
| Valab NOS dac vs 192k upsampling dac Matt - My Benchmark DAC1 + Rowland 102 were ruthlessly revealing and I couldn't find right balance. Changing speakers to Hyperion 938 made it different system - creamy smooth, extended and detailed. I'm not sure how much depends on DAC and how muc... | |
| stereo amp vs monoblocks, any advantages? Thomastrouble - Different speaker (or IC) lengths are matter for another discussion but it is very difficult to sell them. If you believe that cable is detrimental to sound then effect is proportional to distance (capacitance, inductance, dielectr... |
