| Budget re-cabling @lak I have the Micca on my radar. When they "PAIR" (and show 2 cables) do I get 2x 4m? The Raven cables at $250 ("pair") are already pushing the budget, but they offer free 45 days. | |
| Class H amps? @mrdecibel what other models aside from the A400 are in that 'group' (with respect to powe and sound quality)? Does the A-5002 fall into that category? | |
| B&W Nautilus 804 - center speaker - SACD 5.1 and Hometheater So, received the B&W HTM61 S2 and the SVS Prime. Both cost roughly the same (used B&W in very good shape, original box and packaging, etc, SVS brand new). Hooked up to my 5.1 and did some back/forth switching and listening. Then turned... | |
| Why do I need a switch? Only when you add more digital stuff into the signal path can you add the highly desired pixel dust. It makes the zeros rounder and the ones straighter. | |
| un-becoming an audiophile Luckily for me, my memories including thinking back to the 'good ol' times' are actual proof that even at the young age (say 16?) I already WAS and audiophile. By the age of 18, had become full blown. Proof: even as teenagers, we listened to - gas... | |
| Subwoofer Choice Just guts feeling: size matters. Even if 2x xx diameter might have the same surface area (or moved air volume) than 1x yy (or to show my point, 20x 5 inch woofers same as (haven't done the math) 1x 18" woofer), I just don't think a bunch of 5" can... | |
| Solid copper or stranded copper for speaker cables? What is your choice and why? Multistrand (lots of them) JUMPER CABLE Wire. Also nice, flexible, very fine strands: GROUND wire for WELDERS !!! | |
| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? With respect to 'not much amps flowing'. If your woofer eats a 200W impuls at 4 Ohm that (read up on Ohm's law) makes it 7 amps. Some speakers dip well below 4 ohm, and some peak power burst can be higher than 200 W. That is the reason why sometim... | |
| B&W Nautilus 804 - center speaker - SACD 5.1 and Hometheater Update: I ordered a new SVS Prime Center and a used B&W HTM61 S2 (both about same price). Will run them both in my system to determine which one to keep. System is an VERY large volume room (2 stories high, open on 2 sides to several room), s... | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align Friday Night in San Francisco. First added because auf SOUND, but became a favorite. Ditto Steely Dan (did NOT know before standing in a vintage audio store and marvelled/wondered how well these old crappy speakers sounded). No trying trying the... | |
| Ripping CD's to hard drive Exact Audio Copy works for me. Any CDR. Rip to harddrive (select lossless/no compression, evn so I have not been able to find difference between FLAC and lossless). Once on harddrive, move/copy to any player (network drive, external USB3 harddrive... | |
| B&W Nautilus 804 - center speaker - SACD 5.1 and Hometheater The CM Center 2 descriptions reads a lot like the B&W HTM61 S2 including dimensions and chassis | |
| B&W Nautilus 804 - center speaker - SACD 5.1 and Hometheater If cheap enough, would this old boy work with my 804 in large room? B&W CM Center 2 | |
| Class H amps? Can an analog Class H still have (would make sense) a switched mode power supply (LOTS of weight saving right there)? | |
| B&W Nautilus 804 - center speaker - SACD 5.1 and Hometheater HTM61 S2: 3-way vented-box system 1x ø25mm (1 in) aluminium dome high-frequency 1x ø100mm (4 in) woven Kevlar® cone FST™ midrange 2x ø165mm (6.5 in) aluminium cone bass -6dB at 42Hz and 50 kHz 50Hz - 22 kHz ±3dB on reference axis Within 2dB of re... |
