| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? I don't believe using a full loom of cables from just one manufacturer makes sense regardless of the fact that we have one such punting his product here. Is this self promotion actually allowed? The idea is put forward as staying with a certain h... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components @nonoise, I have also found little or no difference with my Isoacoustics Oreas. I have Gaia feet under my OB speakers but not sure about differences here. To fit them I bolted some 40mm angle iron to the sides which were drilled and tapped to take... | |
| Room Treaments - Where To Begin... Hi rixthetrick, Difficult to apportion a budget as a percentage of total value of your system. I think of it as a case of taking X amount of $ to tame the room's acoustics which then will provide the correct acoustical environment to allow any... | |
| Room Treaments - Where To Begin... Yes, Ethan Winer is a good call. His YouTube videos are interesting and informative. I forgot to mention, there is also the forum 'gearspace' formerly known as gearslutz, which has a whole section on acoustics with articles on building stuff you... | |
| Room Treaments - Where To Begin... I'm constantly amazed that audiophiles can go on at length about VTA, upsampling, damping factor etc. but when it comes to the most important component, the room, they have little or no understanding. This is forgivable to an extent. Without havin... | |
| More expensive = better? @OP, the simple truth is that, understandably, no audio manufacturer is going to advise you to treat your room acoustically before making a decision on their product. In an untreated room audio enthusiasts are making the wrong decisions all the ... | |
| Short list of musical subwoofers Avoid ported subs. Look at Rythmik or GR research which are servo controlled and if you are not familiar with the concept, look it up. Try for at least 3 subs which do not need to be identical. Include at least one servo sub. There are many articl... | |
| Streaming 102 Hi stray_cat, when you say you moved to a network bridge do you mean the dCS unit. I will, I think, soon be ordering a new Mystique X and need to think about a good streamer. Also if you could please provide a little more info on how you came to c... | |
| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR You might try asking on 'The Art of Sound' forum. Some Tannoy savvy guys there could probably assist. | |
| Do speaker wires have to be the same length for each speaker? No, it's a non-issue. I defy anyone to hear a difference with the lengths used in the average domestic room. There are more phase issues and time smear from a speaker crossover and even more if the speaker is ported. As far as unbalancing the ima... | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? Thought I was on an audio forum, not a competition for village idiot of the year. Hang in there candymount, you have a chance at fame. | |
| Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks? @teo-audio, an excellent and thought provoking post but those who resist the most will continue to dumb it down to their level whilst promoting themselves as saviours of the insanely gullible. It’s Voltage divided by Current pure and simple +/- 3dB | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? The bigger brother: https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2020/10/04/merason-dac-1-review/ | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? Many good DACs to choose from. I am in the same position and research and recommendations lead me to discover the Merason brand which I had not heard nor heard of. They have two DACs which are getting great reviews. The newer (I think) Frerot ... | |
| Different R2R DACs @ghasley, It just gets the job done in a way that makes you forget about the gear and lose yourself in the music. Thanks for the great info, the above quote is exactly what I was after and carries more weight than a mainstream review. The M... |
