| Wadia 170i/DAC combo with AudioEngine speakers Richlane,Thanks. Your answer is the kind of information I was looking for. It sounds like the addition of the 170i and a decent DAC will result in a sonic improvement. At least it sounds like it's worth a try. | |
| Wadia 170i/DAC combo with AudioEngine speakers Thanks for the replies.Ejlif,The power pack is just a simple 12-volt battery/recharger available anywhere auto parts are sold. Add an AC converter and you have a great portable power source. The problem with the A5s is that they drain the power pa... | |
| 1 or 2 subwoofer for small room & placement I use a pair of Vandersteen 2WQ subs with Thiel CS2.4 mains. I don't know about other subs, but the 2WQs are tunable (volume and Q) and they mate very well with the 2.4s.The effect in my system was not subtle. Yes, the low frequency material was t... | |
| Energy damping or energy transfer? Cbrentc, I've thought about similar turntable damping tweaks. 2 thoughts come to mind, there. 1. How about putting that inner tube in a solid box with the inner tube inflated just enought to stick above the top of the box so that the shelf that th... | |
| Energy damping or energy transfer? Krell man, you're right. My "statistical summary" was kind of tongue in cheek; sometimes kind of hard to get that across in print. Given the frequency with which this topic is apparently covered around here, I guess I didn't really expect a lot of... | |
| Thiel 2.4 vs 3.6 vs cs6 - Opinions? There's supposedly a 3.7 coming out this spring, and I bet it'll be favorably compared to the CS6. | |
| Triangle Antal Es and Thiel 2.4's I haven't heard the Triangles, but I recently bought the 2.4s which I use in a HT setup driven by Audio Refinement Pre2 DSP and Multi-5 amp. I was able to arrange a home audition before I bought them.Break-in took about 50 hours and I think these ... | |
| Energy damping or energy transfer? Thanks for the replies. Looks like 2 to 1 in favor of isolation for components.Among other applications, I'm working on a custom equipment rack that uses an angle iron frame with hardwood shelves. I wasn't sure if I should try to couple the shelve... | |
| 20 amp dedicated lines Sean, in reference to your comment above about "35 feet is too long for any type of signal to travel..." would that also refer to a HT setup in relation to the 2 rear channels? If so, what's the best cable to use to handle that type of distance?Th... | |
| Newbie balanced cable help Audphile1, I just don't know. Like I said, I'm new to balanced electronics. I know I can go get basic RCA cables at Best Buy. I'm not sure what a comparable level of balanced cable is or what it would cost. I've had some people tell me that the qu... | |
| Newbie balanced cable help Thanks for the replies. I probably shouldn't have said "mid-level", because I guess I'm not really ready to do $100's on AQ or AZ cables (Thanks for taking the time, Zargon and Audphile1). I just pulled the trigger on the Ref2 so I'm still breathi... |
