| Speaker Cables OP, the advice to use 8AWG cable for hook-up wire is simply ridiculous!I like AWG 21 to 24 solid core pure copper OCC wire for the tweeter with no crimped on terminals anywhere. Solder all connections. If using solid core then provide vibration r... | |
| Speaker Cables @cakyol, we all get it, your hearing is suspect or your system is not revealing enough.Why do members with considerable sums of money invested have to listen to your negativity and rude put-down??? Do you really believe so many enthusiasts across... | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? I have 2 or 3 favourite tweeters, my 1st choice is Donald Trump | |
| Diffuser or absorber behind listening position....and is it worth doing?? The advice to acquire a mic and download REW or HolmImpulse, as used by Earl Geddes and also free, is solid. Playing with this allows you to see the results of added treatment. The basic problem all rooms have is the sound taking too long to decay... | |
| My System's Weakest Link - What Say You... @ pgaulke60, I somehow deleted a long post so I'll try and keep this short.You state: ' No need for any room enhancement identified' How do you know? You have great components but to hear them really perform they need a treated room. Without the ... | |
| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well @tomic601, Hi Tom, may I assume you own or have owned the 'Pandora' and if so what did you upgrade from and have you ever heard the Mojo Mystique kit. The superseded V3 interests me at about 50% the cost of pandora. | |
| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well My ancient Wadia 15 (redbook only) outperforms my Bryston BDP-1 even when it's playing hi-res!Endlessly chasing detail, detail, detail is a mistake! A friend proudly using an uber expensive dCS agrees that my old Wadia is better but only on redboo... | |
| Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs? @OP, lots of recommendations for this speaker or that speaker but to directly address your concerns : " I am concerned about the ability to fill the room" and "We don't want to take a backward step but can live with a sideways step"@spenav mention... | |
| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. What amazes me with these treads on acoustics on this forum is the dogma handed out.The endless bragging that: "I have a rug and some drapes and my system sounds fine" just means you have never heard a properly treated room.Stating that: "I use DS... | |
| Help my analog sound as good as my streaming @invalid, sound waves do not know or care what generated them and will behave according to the volume of the room and the furnishings. The big problem with untreated rooms is the sound takes too long to decay and this jumble of reflections causes ... | |
| Help my analog sound as good as my streaming I should have also mentioned that once you have a very good TT and arm then upgrading the cartridge would now make sense and you will be able to hear what different ones bring to the party.Room acoustics play a very big part and must be considered... | |
| Help my analog sound as good as my streaming @coys21, you mention a limited budget, perhaps instead of spreading the cash between vinyl and digital just choose one and run with that. If you choose vinyl then digital can always be added later, or the other way round.At a recent audio show I n... | |
| Help me tame my out of control bass OP, ignore the comment from @mijostyn that 'bass traps don't work' This is blatantly wrong. Bass traps most definitely work but the 5" thick panels GIK supplied are not proper bass traps, they form broad-band absorbers and are very useful. They a... | |
| Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts? @chorus, I am considering 2 DACs, one on your list the Audio Mirror SE and one not seen mentioned on this thread, the Mojo Audio Mystique V3. There are excellent reviews on both DACs but would like to hear from anyone who has done a direct com... | |
| Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else OP, you have not mentioned your budget, the size of your room or if you have added any acoustic treatment. Perhaps start another thread explaining what amps you have and ask for speaker recommendations.Regarding amps, Underwood Audio USA has the a... |
