| Best 9 channels power amp? Too few appealing options for a 9 channel amp. I'd go with a great 3channel amp for the L/C/R and a 6channel for the rest. | |
| Best Digital Music Server Or just spring for dbPoweramp on your PC.No unknowns (except for unpublished).No missing tracks or artwork.SACD (DSD) does sound better. You can rip them easy except for art.Of course not on any 'best' server. Of course? Baetis includes dBPoer... | |
| Best Digital Music Server I agree with lwin in his general recommendations and expand it to include Baetis Audio as well as Wolf Audio as good sources. You can ask for Joe at either place. (Different Joes, of course.) | |
| Will this speaker work You cannot connect them with just an RCA cable because you need a phone stage/preamp between the two. | |
| Is Carl Bernstein an Audiophile? Yes, he is. I have had an interesting phone conversation with him and I know other reviewers who have been in contact with him about audio. | |
| Missed Connections @kr4 you will need some way to make sure that the gain of the two amps is identicalIs there any means of doing that? Does the Carver have a volume or a gain control? Otherwise, you will have to add a gadget.Overall, this is not worth the bot... | |

| Odd behavior- JRiver 27 and MacBook Pro not working right- no output to DAC I am going to lug out my MacBook Pro and see if I can figure it out. | |
| Odd behavior- JRiver 27 and MacBook Pro not working right- no output to DAC And still once I engaged play on JRiver, midi reverted to built in output. I have never seen such a thing.1. You can see and select the DAC in MiDi?2. You can see and select the DAC in JRiver?3. Does any of that change after the Mac resets t... | |
| Odd behavior- JRiver 27 and MacBook Pro not working right- no output to DAC I go into the MIDI audio settings on my MacBook Pro, and select the output to go to the connected DAC. Once I engage 'play' on JRiver, my selected output on MIDI gets deselected and it reverts to "built-in output" even though my DAC still shows ... | |
| Subwoofer placement - does it matter? Yes. There will be major differences depending on where they are with respect to the nulls and nodes in the room. | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab I have about 5 grand to spend on loudspeakers. Of these 2, Tekton Moab and Revel performa3 f208, which one would you goners buy? Have you had any opportunity to hear either/both? What kind of music do you listen to and at what levels? | |
| SPL Meter to Match Gains in a Passive Bi Amped Crossover Network The problem with making an acoustic measurement is that it is so sensitively variable with the position and orientation of the microphone. OTOH, if the speaker is still endowed with its original crossover to insure that the upper and lower bands ... |
