| Different R2R DACs @ghasley, that is an impressive line up of DACs you mention and it is noteworthy to see you now have the Merason. Could you please elaborate on how you arrived at that choice. The only one in your list that I've heard is the Dave via headphones. I... | |
| Different R2R DACs Just seen this thread. I am condidreing the MOJO Audio DAC but also SW1X, Merason and Rockna Wavelight. Not heard any of these but extensve reading has lead me there. What is important though is to ignore the R2R/Delta-Sigma superiority war. I... | |
| Horn speakers are really bright? @herman, impressive horn system. What is your crossover point to from big bass horn to the next? It's a passive XO I take it from seeing just one amp. | |
| Horn speakers are really bright? Horn speakers especially high frequency horns can sound sharp or brightr or screechy or whatever but properly done will do trhings that the ubiquitous dome tweeter simply can't. Mounted on a waveguide and using severe toe-in provides a very wide s... | |
| How do you enhance a bad listening room's accoustics without breaking the bank? thoughts? If you want to not break the bank then go DIY. The advice to get Smith's book is good. Putting up cork everywhere is not! All rooms need treatment because of overly long decay and to treat this the absorbers need to be thick. There are many artic... | |
| New Mojo Mystique X @longinc, a long informative post which I appreciate. The fixation with detail above all else is IMO heading in the wrong direction. I want to know what a component does for the enjoyment of music and your post addressed that. | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? ASR? The guy admits he doesn't even listen, only looks at measurements. What is being reviewed? The distortion figures etc. are being provided but none of this is being related to the actual sound. The measurementalists, measurebators and others o... | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? @tony1954, good post.@tommylion, congratulations on your restraint with the rude dismissive response from the usual few. | |
| New Mojo Mystique X It appears that the new model will not be upgradable and that the EVO will no longer be produced. Two versions will be available and will sonically be close to the EVO Pro level. Pricing is better than the existing Pro.Not being able to audition i... | |
| New Mojo Mystique X I am also considering the British made SW1X, which I have not heard. It is similar to the Audio Note DAC's which I have heard and find very 'musical' You are right, it's a tough choice. | |
| Cost Effective System Improvement? Acoustics are inextricably part of the sound you hear. You have some acoustic panels but are there enough or too many? Are they in the right place? What about the biggest issue in all rooms: the bass?Get a free download like HolmImpulse or REW and... | |
| The Most Cost Effective Tweak Room first. If the acoustics have not been sorted out then you’re just chasing your tail. Measurements to a thousandth of an inch can not smooth out the biggest issue: room nodes. The frequencies below the Schroeder threshold will be in the order ... | |
| Fuses @grannyring, that's exactly the info I was looking for. They have an uncanny sense of ease to themI then do not need the Duelund's influence going by what you said. I use Mills a lot as I find them a 'safe' resistor to use but as always, looki... | |
| Fuses Hey mitch, I will look into that as soon as I get a little time to think. Right now we have 4 or 5 days dry weather ahead so wife and I are trying to finish off some house repairs before the cold wet stuff really sets in. I bought a leaky old Iris... | |
| Fuses @MC, when you selected the Path resistors had you made any comparisons with the likes of Duelund or Mundorf? I have tried some different ones and settled on Powertron by Vishay. Rated at 3W or 30W when mounted on a small heatsink. Clean, detailed... |
