| Budget friendly receiver choice I think that goes for anything 'mid level'. It is useless to 'qualify' mid vs high xxxx in any field, wether it is a $250,000 turntable or a $2.5 Mio car (but the factor is 1000 for the turntable (vs mid xxx) and only 100 ($25,000 for a 'mid car'... | |
| Budget friendly receiver choice First impression (2 channel audio, played from cheap CD player via optical and same CD played from computer via 30 ft USB C cable to Shiit DAC, then cheap RCA to receiver) was very impressive (the Shiit combination was NOTICEABLY better, assume th... | |
| Best digital format (non streaming) I noted down the referenced sites for hi res downloads. I will visit and check out what they have (and cost). Thanks for posting. | |
| Best digital format (non streaming) And still the question (IF the 'raw material' is 'worthy' of high res processing/recording): where and how do I GET the high res file? I assume the streaming outlets only let you listen, but not SAVE the file. Likely, there are some (crazy expansi... | |
| Best digital format (non streaming) For now, I will tray give multichannel a first try, using a Sony X700 via HDMI to my Onkyo. I do NOT know what the signal format will be with this combination, but found it the only way (bought 2 SACD 'capable' players initially only to learn that... | |
| Best digital format (non streaming) Glad to hear that CD resolution still 'cuts it', since I am NOT and likely won't be for a long time a 'streamer'. And also came to find out that some 'remixes' (likely with much better resolution) and therefore 'better' are just not the same as th... | |
| Best digital format (non streaming) I thought 'bandwith issue' was referring having to transfer all that 'stuff' through the 'airwaves' for 'streaming', and that is referred to BANDWIDTH (capacity to transfer data). It should not (hopefully) not be confused with reslution (24/192 ... | |
| Budget friendly receiver choice Soix: yes, 2.1 Audio, 5.1 Audio, and looking to buy (3rd attempt, 2 first players I bought were NOT able to play SACD; need palyer that offers SACD over HDMI, have a list of Sony players, need to find a cheap one). | |
| Budget friendly receiver choice No. 2 Channel Audio, 5.1 channel video, and trying SACD 5.1 Audio. | |
| Budget friendly receiver choice Bought (used, with manuals, remote, dust cover, but NOT THE MICROPHONE) Onkyo TX-RX810. Just hooked up cd player (optical) and computer (25ft usb-c to Shiit, RCA to Onkyo). Just tried on CD (ripped losless) from player and computer, medium level. ... | |
| Perception and Watts: Doubling of power Back in the day we found that more speakers (specicially: tweeters) got killed by too SMALL amp that were clipping like crazy when playing louder, and the clipping sent huge amounts of watts to the tweeter. Most tweeters blow at 10W (just throwing... | |
| Room size definition When comparing speakers for large volume/room and NOT considering low bass (under say 50 Hz or even 80 Hz), what selection criteria from a design standpoint should be looked at? Midrange/high bass driver area (in in2)? Obviously, the 804 has ... | |
| Room size definition With respect to 'volume' of a room: how much of the volume "connected" through the 25 ft long open side should go into the equation? The room itself (25x15x19z) 7125 ft3. The volume connected through 25 long and 19 high 'open wall' is that siz... | |
| Room size definition curiousjim: the bass (below 50 Hz) is not of concern to me; I already have that covered to my satisfaction. I am only concerned with the somewhat smallish amount of air the KEF can move in 50-150 range. | |
| B&W Nautilus 804 - bi amping Glad to here that this is not a crazy idea of mine. I will first try to drive the B&W 604 with my 4 channels of my Onkyo TX-RZ810 (output test showed around 180w/8ohm/260W/4ohm, 2 channels driven) for simplicity reason. If the low impediance ... |
