| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble I tend to agree, OP; your observation is valid. However, I face a dilemma in treating my room further due to WAF. Also, I had good reasons not to pursue the subwoofer route after multiple attempts. Instead, I opted for the EQ route with manual equ... | |
| Short list of musical subwoofers I have only tried SVS subs so far, so I may not be of much help. However, Rythmik offers more adjustments, including the low pass frequency (LPF) slope and PEQ adjustments that others do not have. You may want to give it a try. https://www.audios... | |
| Best Sounding Adapter - Making RCA into Banana or Spade? Thanks! In my case, I was doing that from the beginning. However, it turns out the amp pumps too much power into my sub. You can tell right away because it leaves no room for volume adjustment on the sub, and it doesn't sound right—it just rumbles. That's... | |
| Clean power and it's affect on sound quality The power grid supplying my house is fed from a nuclear plant. No wonder, regardless of how I upgrade my power supply or cable, the effect is not notable. | |
| Best Sounding Adapter - Making RCA into Banana or Spade? Thanks! You could get a line out converter if you want to take speaker level signal; Or a line out attenuator, fixed or variable, if you want to take signal from line level. Try Amazon or Crutchfield. | |
| Free air, tighter bass - snake oil or cheap tweaks? Your observation is correct, and it does seem counterintuitive. The speed of sound generally increases in less dense media, such as humid air compared to dry air. However, the perception of sound can be affected by various factors. In the case of... | |
| Adding streaming services to a streamer via usb Since Sonica is a DLNA compliant renderer, I believe you can stream music through DLNA, which should support 24/up to 192 hi-res from Qobuz. Another option is to buy a genuine Lightning to AV adapter and physically connect the iPhone to stream mus... | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? I prefer speakers with a sensitivity range between 86-88 dB; I dislike those with a sensitivity higher than 88 dB because I want to avoid any hiss from the speakers. Contrary to the belief that high-sensitivity speakers perform better in low-level... | |
| Free air, tighter bass - snake oil or cheap tweaks? I added weight (door stoppers, 2.8kg) on top of my bookshelves. However, the real deal comes from the decoupler below the speakers, specifically two layers of drum dampeners. | |

| Flexible Power Cords It's interesting that Audio Envy provides this comparison, but they did not disclose the size of the wire they use for the power cable. Does anyone happen to know? https://audioenvy.com/store/technology/ | |
| Old phones as streaming sources sorry, i thought you were talking about $600 on the topping dac alone and led me to think the 'Octo'. I did try e70 Velvet and it did throw deeper SS relative to previous topping dac I had but not really stand up to the Schiit dac whose house sou... | |
| Old phones as streaming sources @mdalton All the ’phone’ conversations we’ve exchanged, including those with Op, are not an attempt to substitute the cell phone as the main streamer. Instead, it’s an open discussion on the ’possibility.’ I have Ifi ZS myself, two of them, with o... | |

| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... Did you find the Al used in the connector, inside the conductor or both? Did you actually cut the insulator apart and look inside the conductors? Are the conductor mixed with separated Cu stains and Al strains? If so, I agree you could easily t... |
