| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. That is very bad luck. Repair should be possible though, but finding the right person to do it will be difficult. Have you considered replacing it, even temporarily, with something different while waiting for a used one at the right price.I use a ... | |
| Threshold, Levinson, Bryston, Krell, ?others? used amps Another shout for a Mark Levinson 23.5 and also the 27.5. I own both. They will hold their own against many modern amps costing many times more. But? These monsters are now ancient and need servicing and probably recapping at great additional expe... | |
| What's the best non-DAC streamer? I attended the XFI Premium show in Holland last year where Aurender and dCS were sharing a room. Being interested in the dCS Network Bridge I waited for a turn to speak to the rep. and whilst chatting the Aurender rep joined us and to my astonishm... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? At the XFI Premium show in Holland last year I heard Spatial sounding good and also PAP (pureaudioproject) I spoke to the owner/designer Ze'ev from Israel at length. He produces a 2-way open baffle design with the ability to swap the high frequen... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? I have never owned a Vandersteen speaker but I am very familiar with them. Way back an old customer/friend of mine opened a small audio outlet and stocked the Vandy range, his biggest sellers. He often called me to deliver and install speakers he ... | |
| Feeling Tweaky @ skyscraper, you state: Acoustic room treatments that would affect room decor are unfortunately out of the equation.When I read this I obviously, and incorrectly, assumed it was voltage/current from the wife but you later disclose you are a wid... | |
| What to upgrade to? Hi Bob, I'm surprised the usual advocates of room treatments have not yet rallied to your assistance yet.I offer this based on an untreated room.Included in 'room treatments' is a set of subwoofers. Acoustic absorbers and a distributed bass ar... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music @ erik_squires Hi, you seem to be on a crusade to put down something which is valid and sorts out what is a real and common bass problem. I think the recommendations, for a DBA including from myself are in response to an understandable and innoc... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music @atmasphere Hi, I think we are out of phase on your one statement. no, you don't treat a room with traps because it literally doesn't workI have assisted many people installing broadband absorbers and bass traps, some for friends and some to make... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music @ cowan21737 Hi, It would be great if it were that simple. The big peaks and dips/nulls happen at low frequency and boosting in that range will unduly tax the amplifier and the dip will largely remain due to cancellation. Unfortunately that smoo... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music I am amazed at the hostility evident on threads like this with people who have apparently never tried something reacting negatively towards it and offering 'advice' which in some cases is clearly wrong.The DBA concept works, and works in such a wa... | |

| Swarming! @noble100 Hi Tim, thanks for the info. I'm doing a lot of research to educate myself regarding this mysterious, to me, streaming. Much of it is rather confusing but I'll get there in the end.The DBA system deserves wider exposure but I think reta... | |
| The bass is the place... @atmasphere : I fully agree with you that multiple subs are the way to go. They smooth out room response that can not be achieved with EQ. What I disagree with is your comment that 'most rooms have standing waves' and 'bass traps work poorly'All r... | |
| Swarming! Earl Geddes has been a longtime proponent of multiple subs. There are a few other enlightened individuals who agree but it seems strange that this system is not more widely adopted. I assisted a good friend with set up of 3 subs in an awkward room... |
