| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About Here we go again. How can you have an opinion if you have never tried it?@audioguy85, how does your post address the OP's question or contribute in any meaningful way? You state " Waste of money if you ask me." Nobody asked you!I am seriously pu... | |
| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? This is turning out to be one of the better threads with some humour to defuse things a little.@thecarpathian, I am afraid I have to strongly disagree with you. I live in rural Ireland and leprechauns are real and Eskimos are cool.@rodman99999 re ... | |
| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? @ cakyol, I think the idea of these threads is to contribute in some meaningful way, which is something you have no intention of doing. OK so you can't hear anything then why bother to comment.Those trying to explain things with man's limited abil... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Erik, I did not misread anything! In your first post you merely asked about the importance of accurate positioning of the first reflection point. Only 5 days later do you disclose, via your 'narrow question', that you are trying to help.Your rude... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? @OP, so why did you not state exactly that in your first post?OP | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? @aj523, a good and sensible post. I use Dayton Omnimic V2 because I also need to measure the electro-acoustic and Thiele/Small speaker parameters but REW and HolmImpulse are free and do much the same.@eric-squires, what is an "average audiophile'?... | |
| What do you think of this power cord? Bob, I see the unenlightened out in full force telling you that power cables are a waste of money and to go eat ice cream!Power cables do make a difference and although I have not heard them, Audio Envy get great reviews. Consider a used cable to ... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Hi Erik, there is a lot of well meaning advice being offered but most of it ill informed. This whole thing is a science with specific goals. Some posters claim that they adjust the toe-in of their speakers and everything sounds fine. Useless info... | |
| Fuses and confusion @ squeak_king_77 No problem, you are someone I would welcome feed back from. I have just one SR Blue in my DAC. I had 3 such fuses at one time but found the detail resulted in a slightly over the top edge to the sound. Certain female vocal would ... | |
| Fuses and confusion @ squeak_king_77 This is regarding a stock fuse and remember I mentioned trying to trick my wife by not reversing the fuse and she was expecting to hear a change for better or worse but admitted that she couldn't hear any difference on that occas... | |
| Fuses and confusion Either this thread is dead or the doubters have taken up my challenge and are too embarrassed to admit that there is a difference. | |
| Fuses and confusion Fuses do make a difference. I say again, fuses do make a difference. For those of you arrogantly stating that we are wasting our money, get over it. I am interested in finding out which fuses work best with different fuses and every time I read a ... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Hi hilde45, you mentioned, I think that you only hear to 14KHz. I only hear to 12K but it does not matter. The very high freq's are harmonics and for realistic sound it's essential that the tweeter is able to reproduce them.Transients are rich in ... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) There have been some good suggestions here. I recommend you become familiar and comfortable with REW. It is a positive step in the right direction. Also free and really useful is HolmImpulse I am using Omnimic from Parts Express but is not free, ... | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line If you are content to just play redbook CD consider an older unit like Wadia 15. This uses what has been claimed as possibly the best R2R architecture with the PCM63. As was mentioned previously, you could buy one for about $1000 and sell it for h... |
