| Power Conditioning on the Cheap @mitch2 Damn good idea but the cost might not be as affordable as you think. Running dedicated power line depends on several factors such as electrical needs, distance and whether or not you need to cut into drywall to run new wiring. If extensi... | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality WE DO NOT WANT TO SEE THIS TYPE OF CONFRONTATION HERE IN THE FORUM USING HOSTILE LANGUAGE. NOT HEALTHY AT ALL. SELF CONTROLLED, GUYS PLEASE. FORUM MASTER, IF EXISTED, NEEDS TO COME IN AND SAY SOMETHING. | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality What is lacking here is the actual testing / comparison before and after the luxuary power cable is used? Does the power get cleaner? I don’t think it is hard to do, right?😉 I believe the burden of proof is on whoever claiming the superiority of t... | |
| Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500 Coveats for Musician Pegasus given by a reviewer are noted here FYI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH0MY044X8Q&t=180s Schiit had a pretty solid Dac line starting from $199 Modius. SS is wide with decent depth and good image. I also fin... | |
| Pearl Acoustics Sibelius Speakers An impressive small single driver transmission line speakers. It seems to go low but, when listening to Birds by Dominique Fils-Aimé, the bottom bass notes are not that weighty compared to my little bookshelf NHT Sb3, honestly, which costs sub $25... | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns Well, that performance / response curve is representation of average human behavior, like all theories. Like I said, there are many human factors affecting the pattern of the curve. In the other topics I posted that discussed the DR, I touch on ... | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns Accelerated Return (AR) and Diminished Return (DR) can be illustrated in a logistic graph as shown below. When applied onto the stereo system, AR often occurs at lower priced system before the linear region where the increase in price yields appr... | |
| If you want the utmost clarity from your CDs @shopanon So I notice the guy, Mike, wrote the review is a "Dealer." I would like to know your own experience with it. Please report back to share. | |
| Isolation Feet for Laptop I tried semisphere rubber feet by 3m beneath my laptop and found no difference before and after in terms of sound, at least to my ears. I have placed those under each speaker I own and the sound improvement are substantial in particular on low end... | |
| Isolation Feet for Laptop The OP raised a legitimate concern, i.e., the annoying fan noise. I use Dell XPS as a music source. A while ago the fan came up constantly and, without 2nd thought, I put the isolation feet underneath hoping the fan will quiet down epecially when... | |
| If you want the utmost clarity from your CDs Before buying trying either Black Hole CD Mat or full scale tuning mat I introduce above, out of curiority I decide to give a DIY mat a try. I took a unused mouse pad and cut the dual concentric shape out of the pad to my best ability based on th... | |
| If you want the utmost clarity from your CDs I wonder if anyone tries a tuning mat of larger diameter like this? I would imagine a smaller diameter mat/pad might work better because of higher centrufugal mass in the center of a CD. https://www.walmart.com/ip/CD-Stabilizer-Tuning-Mat-HIFI-... | |
| Looking for nearfield passive speakers that are warm and rich Op, I thought you mentioned "... richer more bassy. ..." That was why I said what I said. If bass is not the concern, P3 or even "more bassy" M30.x is indeed a very good candidate. Good luck! | |
| Looking for nearfield passive speakers that are warm and rich How would Harbeth P3 or Folia being suggested so far satisfy your desire in terms of low end if ATC scm 7 does not? Take a look at Legacy Studio HD. According to Stereophile, Legacy gets all traits of P3 but goes much deeper. (rated class B restri... | |
| Do you trust your system? I will fully "trust" my system when I could identify a Dac capable of throwing in wide/deep soundstange AND nimble bass notes at the price I am willing to pay. Until then, as much appreciation I had with my power amp and speakers, there is still ... |
