| 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 $1000 and sell it for h... | |
| My #@%$ 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... |
