| Why the fascination with subwoofers? @atmasphere Ralph: if I'm taking measurements and measure a deep valley within the subwoofer frequency, would that be pointing to a standing wave?@mitch2 While many records have very similar low bass recording on both channels, to be certain it wo... | |
| why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't? I didn’t bother further. What is reflected in the thread is what I did and learnt, so kept the std fuses and upgraded tubes which have been running for 5 years flawlessly.The amp runs hotter with these tubes than with the original ones which has t... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? @atmasphere I'd give it a shot. I don't use the Swarm but if I had it to do over that's the route I'd likely take. Duke is working on a sub system for me though- one that is integrated into a coffee table. It will be used to break up the standing ... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? @atmasphere Hello Ralph.I see you use a SWARM system, so the sub woofer frequencies play in mono on a distributed basis. Similar to Earl Geddes approach/theory. Geddes argues for 3 to 4 subs playing the same signal to flatten frequency response at... | |
| Digital Room Correction For Speakers samgar,In my prior post I asked which sources you used. This is important because if you had analog sources then a good solution becomes more complex. But I see you are only talking Roon, so that simplifies things.As noted above, "solutions" can b... | |
| Digital Room Correction For Speakers Everything you can do to improve the acoustics of the room is what you should do first.On top of that, well implemented digital room correction can be outstanding. I started down that path, then went 4 channels to add stereo subs, and now 6 ways t... | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? Look into Rythmik subs. Powered, servo controlled, with a good set of adjustments available, not very expensive. I made heavy sealed boxes for a couple of their 12" kit. They also sell finished subs. Also look into their double 8" subs, also servo... | |
| Stereo pre-amps with dual outs for bi-amping and a subwoofer line out There are many technical reasons why active can be better. The key is implementation, as usual. What you note is an alleged advantage of biamping and in my test it wasn't audible. Active crossovers, on the other hand, have proven sonically superio... | |
| Stereo pre-amps with dual outs for bi-amping and a subwoofer line out I agree with pkvintage. I currently triamp in an active stereo system and definitely hear the difference. I have removed the passive crossovers in my speakers.In the past, with same speakers and tube amp I now use for midrange/tweeter, I tried bia... | |
| Going to try digital "1) AQVOX switch added to the router2) 0.5m Wireworld Platinum Ethernet cable from switch to isolator3) EMO EN-70e isolator4) 1.5-2m Wireworld Platinum Ethernet cable from isolator to PC"Steve,That’s $2.5 to 3k worth. I don’t doubt is the cutting ... | |
| Going to try digital Steve,In a setup where Roon core runs on a noisy PC, connects thru ethernet to a Cisco wifi router, and the optimized audio PC receiving from Roon on HQP also connects thru ethernet to the Cisco, would you recommend using just one EMO-EN70e at the... | |
| Going to try digital Steve (audioengr) brings a good point: USB vs ethernet for connecting streamer to DAC. There are very few options for ethernet connected DACs, but this is said to have significant advantages such as no optimized computer needed as front end and th... | |
| Going to try digital Scooter,OK, I'll describe my system, but keep in mind I started down the digital path (not CD) 7 years ago. Attempting to do what I do as a first step would be a recipe for likely frustration, maybe turning away and missing a larger opportunity.My... | |
| Going to try digital Digital opens the door to very many options down the road yet I think you are better off starting simple and once you get your toes wet you decide which way to progress.As expressed above you need a source of music, a player, and a DAC.Source of m... | |
| SET v. Pushpull Tom,You have been given very good input here. Almarg's points about impedance was definitely spot on (as usual in his posts): both as a key speaker attribute when considering to match with SET, and in showing your current speakers aren't the best ... |
