| re-tubing CJ LP70s Thanks to you all.For the 5751, there are many variations. I was looking at eBay, MDS, can you please elaborate which one it is? i know the 3 mica ones are the one to look for. then the black plate ... then I get confused.The NOS tungsol is so $$$... | |
| Is 7.1 better than 5.1 my biggest gripe about 5.1 is when there is some object (or talking person) moving from the front to the back by the side. with my long shoebox room, the object simply warped from the front to the back.I suppose having an extra pair of speaker in ... | |
| Tools to measure in room response Thanks to you all.I have a laptop. I will try to use the RoomEq software. Do you have any recommendation for MIC?FYI I'm trying to analyze the best speaker placement and also do some DIY sound traps. Cheers,K | |
| Cheap receiver + amp vs Expensive receiver Hi, thanks to you all.Actually most of my budget was spent, and will be spent in the future, on the 2 channels system. HT is an after thought. (i.e. I won't spent the $ on a Krell or a brand new Anthem etc, I'll spent the $ on the 2 channels sys i... | |
| Ultimate DIY speaker design? That's an excellent deal. Since I don't build the box myself, the whole thing together is about $800-900. So now the question is, what can I get for $800-$900 used? probably a used pair of ProAcs.I'm sure the kit has much better quality in terms o... | |
| Ultimate DIY speaker design? Thanks Face,I suppose good bang for the buck was when I did it a decade ago but nowadays the drivers and parts are not cheap anymore.I had my whole cost no object 3 way cross over for a few hundred bucks; nowadays the same part will cost over 1k. ... | |
| Monitors that use the Dynaudio Esotar Tweeter Eggleston lines I and IIs (generation). I believe the IIIs are now Morels.I raised a question in a speaker building forum wondering how the T330Ds are compared to the newest Morels, SS, Seas etc. | |
| Modwright vs EVS vs RAM vs ASI-Tek, OPPO BDP83 by reading the description on Rick's website ... his mods on the Oppo and Transporter are a lot more simple and afforable. I'm wondering how his Transporter will compare to MW's .... | |
| Ultimate DIY speaker design? I went down that path, it's a great hobby and the result was decent. (my wife thinks that it beats a pair of 20k speakers in our local dealer...ok, that's subjective) It was my own design. The journey was exciting and frustrating. If you build a p... | |
| Just got the PS Audio Perfectwav DAC -- Amazing Redbook CDs are 16bit. Most of the current DACs upsamples to 24bits. So there are 8 bits for attenuation without lossing any bits when a Redbook CD or CD ripped file is played.However, if you have a downloaded HiRes file starting at 24bit, then an... | |
| Just got the PS Audio Perfectwav DAC -- Amazing i think it should be a new (old!) thread if we want to discuss DAC-amp vs DAC-PRE-AMP vs DAC-passive pre-AMP.I'm very eager to know how the MW Transporter compares to the PWD. | |
| Just got the PS Audio Perfectwav DAC -- Amazing When comparing source direct to power amp vs source to preamp, the impedance of the poweramp is a major consideration. Some power amps are just easier to drive then the others. | |
| LCD TV, how does it affect your 2 channels Thanks to all!Well, the good news is that the panels are actually plastic, not glass, and the panels are much thinner than the old Rear Projection TV. (BTW Ozzy, I hav the same TV as you, just at 50" and in a different room)I wish I could use a pr... | |
| Which computer DVDrom is the best for ripping? Thanks, Dnewhous and Blackstonejd,Does it mean that the output file from different CD rippers might be different?I noticed from EAC, the tracks aren't always 100% (reported quality in the log). | |
| Berkeley DAC into preamp or amp ? I think the input impedance of the POWER amp side is a huge factor. Some amps will never work with a DAC directly. |
