| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC This is a great thread and I've read with mounting excitement/interest about the apparently amazing 005 which if it performs as described is at an equally amazing price. I see the Merason DAC mentioned, which together with the SW1X and Mojo Mysti... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? @lanx0003, a constant directivity (CD) waveguide and a horn look about the same but behave differently. Generally speaking waveguides do not exhibit any of the annoying traits that gave horns a bad name. A CD waveguide in addition to allowing a wi... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? @bishop148, did you not read the thread? If you did you would have seen my short explanation and @atmasphere's clear and informative take on the virtues of multi-subs. Perhaps you do the OP and yourself a disservice with your ill-informed dismis... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? @dmilev73 Yes you will definitely benefit from a sub or 2 or 3 When this is suggested people think of being overpowered by thunderous bass which if properly implemented is not that at all. Think of the subs as tuning devices. An enlightened post... | |
| Does carpet deaden the sound too much? "cd318, yes absolutely. The ears perceive the result of an acoustic generator (the speaker) inextricably influenced by the room they are playing in. The approach to this is to try and limit the damage of the marriage. | |
| Does carpet deaden the sound too much? I've heard that an egg shaped room has perfect acoustics I'm not sure I agree. Will have to ask a chicken 🐔 | |
| Does carpet deaden the sound too much? @rixthetrick, Broad-band absorbers can be bought from the likes of GIK etc. who charge crazy amounts for a simple thing so I prefer to make my own. There is much info on how to DIY them and a search on the net will turn up lots. With an overhead ... | |
| Does carpet deaden the sound too much? @OP, there is a lot of nonsense being sprouted here through misunderstanding. Absorption in a room is necessary to reduce the time it takes sound to decay but the absorption needs to work over as wide a bandwidth as possible. If sound is left to ... | |
| Looking for Blues with High Fidelity @77jovian, and somebody else mentioned Mighty Sam McClain, “Give it up For Love” This album won many awards and was chosen Blues album of the month, or was it year? can't remember. Great sound quality. My fav. track: Too Proud (turn the volume ... | |
| Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter @gladmo, I am not surprised at the increase in performance you achieved with your SVS sub. We are, after all, just listening to a modulated power supply. | |
| Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter @gladmo, the svs sub does not use the standard connector on their plate amp. I have the smaller SB 1000 Pro which uses a C7 I think it's called. Does Zavfino give you the choice of connector. Also the Fina you mention is 14AWG which is considered... | |
| Feel free to talk me off the ledge Hi OP, something to consider is the sensitivity of new speakers you may like. Your Klipsch are 99dB sensitive which is unusually high. If the new speakers of interest are only 87dB which is typical, then to get the same SPL you would need to doubl... | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? FFS guys, will this schiit never end??? cuckyol and his ilk, do you have nothing better to do. We all get it, you can't hear properly or won't even try. Great, just move on. It appears your system, if you have one, sounds so poorly that you need ... | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) At the XFi Premium show in Holland 2019 I visited the room that Aurender and dCS were sharing. The room was busy but eventually got a chance to talk to the dCS rep. We were discussing the Network Bridge when the Aurender rep. joined us and to my ... | |
| To Buy or to DIY, here is my question @jonwatches1, thanks for the compliment. I built those about 10/11 years ago but was not that happy with the finish. I used Woodoc Antique Wax but it came out a little blotchy so I rebuilt them as floorstanders which looked better and gained a few... |
