| 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? 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... | |
| 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. |
