| Aurender Music Server and CD Transport comparison Get a CD transport with USB output and send it to the Aurender. It should sound identical to music played off the hard drive. | |
| Subwoofer and preamp output impedance Excellent choice. That has a lot of adjustments. | |
| I took Frank Zappa’s advice They’re out of margarine. | |
| Subwoofer and preamp output impedance when you use a splitter, that will be paralleled, so if the sub has a 10k input impedance your preamp will see about 9k Ohms overall. A huge difference from the 100k it saw before the sub was hooked up. The highs could be affected. | |
| I took Frank Zappa’s advice I think my response got this thread on a snowball downhill fast. I often think he was the one person in history I would have liked to have a long conversation with. | |
| Subwoofer and preamp output impedance Or get a buffer stage (tube, or SS) to put between your preamp and sub because your sub probably won't have high enough input impedance to use a splitter. I believe the highs will be affected. | |
| Static electricity and my Denafrips do not get along Just wear socks. You will ground yourself by walking up to the system each time. | |
| Bending Sound Exactly, you don't need that membrane moving in and out while trying to reproduce midrange sounds. Plus you will have amplifier reserve by not powering those signals. When I suggested the DBX unit I was figuring you would use a passive sub that ne... | |

| Bending Sound Check out DBX Venue 360 I realize it does the A/D and D/A thing, but that is way over hyped as bad, and is the best way to cut out the lows. | |
| A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio Some of those B&M stores that have been around for a long time, prove every day, why they've been around a long time. | |
| DAC connections: does TYPE of USB make a differnce? It shouldn't matter at all. | |
| Good measuring DACs vs. Does anyone make a DAC with a 300B tube in it? | |
| Good measuring DACs vs. Charyo hits the nail on this one. Not all distortion is bad sounding. Look at those 300B amps, they sound good, but distort a lot. Some distortion is pleasant sounding, so if it has a high price tag, then it's good. |
