| DAC comparison @charles1dad, thanks. @vinylvalet, yes, Audio Note, SW1X, Merason, Abbas and a small handful of others are eschewing the fashionable 'does everything' DAC for one that prioritises power supply and the analogue stage and by omitting superfluous f... | |
| DAC comparison My Wadia 15 which is now about 29 years old gets used all the time and it is redbook only. I also have a Bryston BDA-1, bought so I could listen to some hires but seldom listen to it because the Wadia gives me everything I want and its build sugge... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers Hi OP, I have a small SVS SB1000 PRO and a REL S2. The SVS is, in my system, superior. The REL is more expensive and this reinforces my opinion that RELs are overpriced and overrated and they are certainly not unique in accepting high-level input.... | |
| Most Realistic Recordings Dee Dee Bridgewater .. Live at Yoshi’s. Track 2 has the most realistic tambourine I've heard on digital and I use it a lot as a sanity check for realism | |
| My endgame system I think Hi OP, the attention you have paid to room acoustics is impressive. Most just add some treatment as an afterthought. Congratulations, however you seem a little unsure about it possibly being overdamped. May I suggest you, if haven’t already, downl... | |
| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers I second the suggestion to consider Vandersteen which IMO represent excellent value. Also check out Egglestonworks. | |
| Turn off or leave on? @kgbspy, (putin, is that you ???) makes me wonder if any of you got electronics training Ok you can climb down from your pedestal now and go ... well go somewhere. If the component is solid state and does not consume huge amounts of power wh... | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects @mitch2, provided some good information but just a cautionary note to all regarding the first link he mentioned. The Furez stuff he carries is great and at a very good price and if it interests you then there are many other places to buy from. I h... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm, I think you need to relax a little. I am free to trust or distrust whomever I wish yet I have not uttered any derogatory comment nor cast any aspersions on 'your' thread. Do you have any reason to distrust a good number of listeners like... | |
| 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 🐔 |
