| What happened to my room acoustics Thank you, @newbee. I did experiment with varying toe-in angles, ranging from straight to pointing towards my shoulder, to find a trade-off between the width of the soundstage and imaging. I ultimately settled on a slight toe-in that points sligh... | |
| What happened to my room acoustics Thank you all for the advice. It appears that the consensus here is that I am sitting too far from the speakers. I've adjusted the seating position, bringing it closer to the speaker plane (11 ft), with the speakers now placed 9 ft apart. My room ... | |
| What happened to my room acoustics @newbee @rhljazz Thank you both for the suggestions. Before I made the following adjustments for the speaker/listening positions, I tried treating the first reflection point, but the HF dip is still present with the same magnitude. I’m not sure ... | |
| What happened to my room acoustics Is this even the right forum? It seems like you are replying to a thread from a different web site. I really do not know what are you talking about. I am addressing my message to the Audiogon forum. My speakers are Burchardt S400 II as said ... | |
| looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range I had the S400 mk II speakers, which are rated at 87 dB, in my bedroom. During low-level listening sessions at around 45 dB at night, I found that, with well-recorded music, I could discern articulated bass notes and open, airy treble without any ... | |
| looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range +1 @elliottbnewcombjr However, before acquiring more gadgets, consider implementing the F-M curve concept by using the internal 24 EQ presets or a 10-band graphical EQ in your Wiim Pro streamer, especially if you’re planning to downsize. I have ... | |

| New Speaker advice It is straightforward to assess whether the AVR used as a preamp is a weak link, as many have commented. Simply compare it to a direct connection of your DAC with the AR D300, both using XLR and SE connections, and you’ll know immediately. Findin... | |
| USB Cable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zncAhs44sp8&t=1564s The reviewer offers a more objective assessment of Supra, Wireworld, and Oyaide USB cables. I encourage you to watch the video for a comprehensive evaluation if desired. In essence, the ... | |
| New Speaker advice @jetter I am going against the flow here, but I have a friend with an older Denon AVR and I am always amazed at how good it sounds. I have always thought Denon makes very nice sounding gear for its price points. I believe the issue lies in usin... | |
| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER @mitch2 I believe it was related to the size of the coupling caps used. I concur. After conducting some research, we could apply the general guideline of a 3dB cut-off frequency at 2Hz to calculate the desired load input impedance (RL) in ohms... | |
| New Speaker advice To make things a bit easier, you could probably rule out F36 simply because there's no point in having a floor stander with a light bass response (51Hz -3dB). | |
| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER After acquiring a preamp primarily for analog attenuation, I've become convinced that a separate high-quality active preamp can significantly enhance sound reproduction and elevate the overall listening experience in almost every aspect. The key l... | |

| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Anyone else have any compatible streamer recommendations for Gan1? Any streamer with AES or SPDIF digital output in coaxial, xlr, bnc, or Toslink formats can be connected to the coaxial port of GaN 1. If the streamer lacks a coaxial digital out... |
