| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC Now I need to find a cheap yet MASSIVE vintage transport. Wish I had kept the 80 lb monster MSB Technology Laser Disc Transport LS1 Gold. That would have gone well with the M1. | |
| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC mapman that is GREAT information. Thank you VERY much. I think I will KEEP the Modi 3+ (where it is now, in my 2nd 'office' system, connected via LONG usb C to my laptop) for practical reasons (small, USB C), and will ADD the M1 (bought for under ... | |
| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC So if Modi 3+ and Musical Fidelity M1 duke it out, who wins? | |
| Identify, repair or replace mid range speaker in B139 based setup My recone/refoam friend is attempting rebuild. Will likely end up with foam reversed (sticking out like most drivers, nut inverse like original), but try original orientation first. Supplier of the foam indicates in description what it can be done... | |
| Identify, repair or replace mid range speaker in B139 based setup yogiboy, I need to replace the busted (foam, and broke voice coil leads) midrange Peerless KO40-MRF 8 Ohm. Not the Kef woofer (seems to work fine). | |
| Identify, repair or replace mid range speaker in B139 based setup kr4, thank you very much. No need to find 8 ohm version (ebay has a 4 ohm refoamed listed). Any suggestion for good replacement if I don't find exact match? | |
| Infinity RS 1B - How does the 'old dream speaker' compare to today's speakers? Sounds like the IRS are still competing well with modern speakers. I would have guessed that they had fallen behind due to decades in material (and electronics) development). | |
| Plasma Tweeters - Do they still exist? Thanks. Being used so rarely, the very obvious advantages must be shadowed by overwhelming disadvantages. | |
| Infinity RS 1B - How does the 'old dream speaker' compare to today's speakers? I mean the 'big' system Infinity Reference Standard IRS. | |
| The Highest - Suprema @jbthurston : I actually LIKED that (smooth, relaxed, ’easy’), and pointed it out to Livio during our conversation, and he confirmed that it very well fits the overall (and traditional) Sonu faber sound philosophy. I later went back and forth b... | |
| The Highest - Suprema @curiousjim : they pointed out the obvious to us (they ARE a McIntosh store), but consciously decided on the Burmaster. | |
| The Highest - Suprema They had them at the show in Chicago, but this was (I was told) the first time they were in a store. We had received invitation from Paragon Sight and Sound in Ann Arbor, MI and made the trip early that day (and were the first in the door). We had... | |
| The Highest - Suprema The issue with LS3 5A: "Klipsch later allowed that “For the blood stirring levels of a full symphony orchestra, you should have 115 dB at your ears.” He no doubt had instantaneous peaks in mind". Even a meak 100 dB in my VERY laraage (volume and s... | |
| The Highest - Suprema I would think the subs demand a lot more amps than the towers, hence the 159. I never sat in the front row of a concert, so I cannot say how it should sound :-) | |
| Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner? Just curious regarding 'headroom' (and potentially limiting it using a power conditioner): can someone link to articles where they measured the actual draw of (high power) amps? I would assume the outpout power demand peaks are very short and shou... |
