| Background noise. Hi, Mike The 1st image is from the most economical amp BasX A2m. (50 wpc into 8 ohm for $350; class A/B). The 2nd image is from BasX A2 (160 wpc into 8 ohm for $500; again class AB) which I was interested but turned away because of the internal f... | |
| Background noise. I guess the best solution to avoid the fan noise from the amp is don’t buy them. Keeping the working temperature under control for an amplifier and prevent it from overheating is part of design process. A well designed amplifier should not rely on... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage Thank you, @lucky_doggg7 @reubent, for bringing Focal (JMLab) Mini / Micro Utopia to my attention. I do not mind going up scale to standmount speaker like Mini Utopia at all as long as they fit the bill. The transmission line design of Falcon IM... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage Wish I were there. I kind of felt the same way for S400 too but was not sure to give it a try. I think I could probably rule it out now. Was interested in ATC but there is no dealer here in the south Florida. I guess one at a time now. Dennis... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage Again, thank you everyone taking your time to provide me valuable inputs. Really appreicated. The BMR Monitors seem to be one of the faves but the coveat of glare around 2 kHz and the compression / wide radiation traits mentioned by Erin bothers m... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage Thank you guys for the recommendations. Among these, I am thrilled by the performance and looks of Philharmonic BMR Monitor (v2) curved rosewood cabinet. The only online auditioning source I could locate sounds promising. Will look into it. Th... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage DeKay, yes, I remember you had made such a comment. If you look at my posting one more time, Evo sitting on the current wide end table has already throws good SS. I just desire more bass and dynamics. Nevertheless, It is no harm to try and I am... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage @tomcarr @onhwy61 I understand the speaker set up, placement and room treatment are important. I have been experimenting those in the past and was able to achieve / preserve resonably good SS with my current speakers when the recordings have ... | |
| Chord M-Scaler and Should I Want One? The fellow reports M-Scaler works well with Mytek Brooklyn Dac (but not Denafrips Ares ii) in several areas: (1) vast increase in SS depth / width and image focus (2) increase in low end quality w/ deeper bass and better texture and (3) more natur... | |
| High resolution audio on a PC questions Also, I have an Onkyo TX-8255 audio receiver (it’s completely analog). Would I hear an improvement if I ran the signal from my PC’s headphone jack through the receiver? (it doesn’t have a line out). Sorry if these are stupid questions. Probably... | |
| Comparing external DAC to CD player DAC I also had Marantz CD-67se. Not one but two that I purchased 25 years ago from a sale as far as I could recall. The SQ out of CD-67se is good but nothing special really to write home about. Both of them quit a while ago. I replace one of them ... | |
| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? Wharfedale Evo 4.2. | |
| How good does my system have to be to realize an improvement with cables? @overthemoon Speaker cables I compared Blue Jean Cables to Audio Quest Rocket 33 and Kimber Kable 12TC. I preferred the Blue Jean Cables in that comparison because the Kimber Kable 12TCs had harshness in the higher frequencies and the Audio Ques... | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? I had Loxjie a30 ($180) + Sony sscs5 ($90). Resolving treble and non-sluggish bass with reasonably large soundstage. I enjoyed it. | |
| Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances @jasonbourne52 Perreaux 2150B - 340/680/920 wpc @ 8/4/2 ohms. The manual says 200 wpc into 8 ohms. Could you confirm that? Could you articulate its sound traits? Its damping factor sounds reasonably high but the continuous current of 10 ampere... |
