| Hearing issues and signal attenuation Broadstone, I've read many of your threads (I have hyperacusis) and I think you need to go the EQ route. With a parametric equalizer you can find the specific range of frequncies that trouble you in each ear.But you already know this. Just a shout... | |
| DAC improvements slowing down? There are so many threads here asking about the best DAC at different price points, but Steve N. always states the correct answer...jitter control is the most important factor in producing the best sound from a DAC.Design elements such as good iso... | |
| I Forgot... How do you dispose of a CRT? I heard that it has to go to a recycling center.True? | |
| Tubes for Jolida Fusion Preamp Wolf is correct and not paranoid... the dealer must have a return policy. NOS can mean New Old Stock or it can also mean the tube was used in a medical or military component in the 1950s for a short time and then was put on the market for sale as ... | |
| Tubes for Jolida Fusion Preamp There are so many possibilities when using NOS tubes. I think you are mistaking me for another member. But I have been using various tube CDPs and preamps. | |
| Tubes for Jolida Fusion Preamp I owned that preamp and it was fun to roll tubes in it. First decide what type of timbre you are looking for in your system. NOS tubes will sound better than new production tubes, but they are priced higher according to availability.RCA Blackplat... | |
| Help in choosing Naim is so good that you wouldn't even need the rDac. A superb component. Any CDP at this upper level has a superior DAC and build quality. | |
| Help in choosing Don't forget that by exchanging the Jolida for the Marantz, you've removed tubes from your system and naturally the sonics will be affected.I believe that the transport plays an important role with the DAC and the Marantz should be acceptable; are... | |
| best floor in listening room Schubert; now add that $5k into the cost of your system. | |
| best floor in listening room Wood floor is fine when using throw rugs, or best of all use an oriental rug. And have some soft furniture arranged around the room. | |
| Plaster Walls I have plaster walls and there's no need to put up sheet rock. Use carpeting or oriental rugs, hang drapes, and tapestries, and use soft furniture and bookcases to dampen the room. You'll need to use acoustic panels on the walls to treat the room ... | |
| Pass XA-30.5 and PSB Synchrony One High current is required to drive the Synchrony One's and the Pass has it. The reason is that the Synch's impedance (4 ohms nominal) dips down to 2 ohms at 1kHz and below 4 ohms in the bass frequencies.IMHO, it's a good match, and most likely you ... | |
| Which Class D / gainclone for 1st row presence? I've found that some speaker cables can move the image forward. On the other hand, some cables can move the image further back, creating more distance like a concert hall. And room treatments can play a part in location of the soundstage. The Cabl... | |
| should i have a long USB or analog cable run? Right you are Al. Once the ripping is completed, I was wondering if the OP intends to playback from the laptop to an external DAC in conjunction with his NAD.IOW, what is the final destination? | |
| should i have a long USB or analog cable run? I see you have a TT with a RCA/USB out, with internal preamp.It's not a good idea to run a long length of RCA cable from a TT. First of all, it's analogue and unbalanced and can add noise or pickup RF. You would also need to know the capacitance o... |
