| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? erik_squires: only ship the very light (Class D) plate amp, 5 lb or so. musicaddict "take over the DD-15" based on quality INCLUDING price? Even the 12" SB-2000 (used they start around $750 or same 'value' as I assign to my repaird DD-15). oth... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? I read a few posts claiming BENEFITS of passive crossovers (vs active), but none mentions issues like phase shift from those passive components. And can't those mentioned 'beneftis' of passive crossovers not 'simulated' or realized in active cro... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? Never heard of horizontal and vertical bi-amping. My assumption for passive bi amping with speakers built for it always was that by removing the 'bridge', I get a low pass for the woofer and a seperate high pass for the mid/high. The use 2 amps ... | |
| Hidizs AP 80 Pro - Alternative to Laptop with long USB cable and Schiit DAC? Thank you for the tips. I will start with connecting the Onkyo to the network (hardwire or wireless, not sure yet). See how it 'feels' (ease of use) and sound. Wiim is the next option; I like hte (likely userfriendly) control via Android app. ... | |
| Hidizs AP 80 Pro - Alternative to Laptop with long USB cable and Schiit DAC? What is the expected benefit regarding audio quality: Laptop/25ftUSB/Modi3 vs Laptop/network/Wiim Pro ? Is the the Wiim Pro "streamer" and its DAC better than long USB C and Modi? Alternatively: Laptop/Onkyo (use Onkyo DAC), but not sure how... | |

| Hidizs AP 80 Pro - Alternative to Laptop with long USB cable and Schiit DAC? Connect Onkyo to Network: need find out how 'convenient' acces to music is via Onkyo on network. How does the Onkyo DAC compare to the Modi? Will look into cost of a Wiim (is that a "streamer" or a "netowork player" or ???) I assume music 'contr... | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? With my GREAT (top flight, best ever) sounding office system (considered junk level for most here) where I rotate through lots of equipment and do my casual listening, I finally connected my office laptop to the receiver. Then did a simple compari... | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? Just do in home session to compare, then pick. ONLY way to do it for ANY speaker on ANY budget on ANY system. | |
| Best Floorstanding Speakers Buyers Guide 2023 ! @grislybutter At my count, there are 3 'best' floorstanding speakers under $5k on that list. To earn ANY credibility, I would suggest that such a list should be made up of speakers 80% be under $5k, 15% under $10k, 4% under $50k, 1% over $50k. | |
| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question Good post. Confirms my thinking. Any part in of system has an impact on sound. Some impacts are too minute to be noticed, depending on the 'noise level' or 'quality' of the system. On a high quality system like mine ($4,000 including room($0)) and... | |
| Perplexed on how single driver speakers can cover such a large Hz range And there is that little thing called MASS and the other one ACCELERATION (btw, they don't like each other much). So yeah, and can CLEARLY feel the OP. Imagine the force needed to shake that massive cone 10,000 times per second back and forth. Obv... | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? Luckily, there is one correct answer: tubes are NOT 'better'. On the other hand, I find blue much better than red. But sour better than sweet. Both are certainly scientifically documented. | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? Since I like to 'compare and keep', I bought an SVS center speaker so I could compare with my current and took advance of they really 'no questions asked' try at home police. Ordered. Tested for 2 weeks. Put back in box. Received return label. Mai... |
