| Qutest LPS upgrade I am not suggesting anything; I just wonder from which package you receive your experience. Just FYI, acording to a reliable source, the BOTW P&P ECO provides a ripple voltage of less than 0.5 mV (= 500 µV) under full load conditions for 5-6 ... | |
| Qutest LPS upgrade congratulate! Do you have ultra added on or just eco? | |
| Ypsilon DAC-100? If you have that kind of money, why not consider the Mola Mola Tambaqui? It's well-reviewed and highly regarded by prestigious reviewers and audiophiles. | |
| KEF R3 META or Dynaudio Special 40? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCOfGmUdhjo | |
| KEF R3 META or Dynaudio Special 40? You probably need sub in to have more satisfactory fuller range sound experience with KEF (58hz -3dB). At $1400, Special 40 (41hz -3dB) is a no brainer, more dynamic and punchier than KEF. Let me know where is the deal in case if you don’t want it... | |
| I feel for you @devinplombier Yes, simply de-solder the original passive crossover connection and solder new cables from amplifiers directly to each driver of both channels once the active speaker system is built. Spatial Sapphire older / discontinued models are... | |
| I feel for you Good, we are on the same page, @devinplombier. I thought you were referring to active and passive for the latter and former. Of course, soldering is involved, but my point is that building the whole system is a much more fun and fulfilling project... | |
| What's the weakest link in my stereo set up? I live in a townhome, so limited on space. SVS 3000 Micro – a great choice, fast and punchy. You might consider adding an isolation platform to mitigate noise, as you were initially concerned. Enjoy. | |
| I feel for you @devinplombier It is a system setup using a DSP processor like this: the digital signal from the source is processed (RC/EQ) in the DSP, converted into multiway (frequency band-specific) analog signals, then fed into amplifiers, amplified and conn... | |
| I feel for you How about taking on a more challenging task? Swap the passive crossover with an active crossover or build a switch to compare the sound. Wouldn't this be a more interesting, exciting and achievement fulfilling project than soldering? | |
| What's the weakest link in my stereo set up? I live in a townhome, so limited on space. then this might be your best friend. Endorsed by Streophile. I had a pair for my 3rd system. https://www.ebay.com/itm/135529601252?_skw=nht+sb3&itmmeta=01JMSWYN7DWW2MBVDDZTRNTXXH&hash=item1f8e3198e4:g:rjIAAOSwLiJnnu4W&itmprp=enc%3AA... | |
| What's the weakest link in my stereo set up? I live in a townhome, so limited on space. The lower-end notes are lacking—consider adding a subwoofer. Specifically, a sub with an 8 inch driver and tight control, like the REL T/5x or T/7x, which will be fast enough to keep up with the main speakers | |
| Perhaps the most annoying myth in audio of 2025? Talking about Loudness! I tend to agree with @carlsbad2. If your system does not sound good at a reasonably low volume level, it needs work. Fortunately, the work doesn’t need to be substantial, and you don’t need high-sensitivity speakers to achieve that. In my rooms, ... | |
| Should I use Impedance 4 or 8? As you know, that lower-imp. tap is reserved for A+B, speakers connected in parallel or the speaker with lower nominal impedance. A good, issue-free amplifier should not deliver drastically different performance between two taps. When connected to... | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps You have to be careful about things you read like the specs above! I own the two of the Topping DACs; The 40 Ohm value is actually the two 20 Ohm output impedances put in series when really they should be in parallel, which would be about 10 Ohms... |
