| MQA is for chumps I stream both Tidal and Qobuzz via a Cambridge CXNv2 to a Benchmark DAC 3b, I would say Tidal is slightly better than straight Redbook although I am using a Sony XA5400 ES which Stereophile gave an A+ to. I think that may be because they are usi... | |
| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... @doctors11 My music room is carpeted. I am connected with standard RCAs at the moment but that does put some pressure on them and I can't pull the spike covers and set the sub into the carpet and underlying concrete. Probably should not even h... | |
| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... @charliee it would seem to me that if you have a volume control you have a variable electrical result of it's the mechanical movement. I would tend to think that variable output could be paralleled to this or any sub.@doctors11 90 degree RCA... | |
| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... Hmmmm.. I think he might be a bit more concerned about his customer's satisfaction rather than whether or not they are using a sub. I think a sub can have a place in a system.. in mine it's to handle <40 hz down to it's floor so I can hear t... | |
| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... Charlee... are the knobs on the front volume or bias adjustments? I think I would contact the designer and ask him where to tap into the circuit to get the variable line level (the pore-amp signal) separated out before final amplification. Trul... | |
| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... @charliee I suspect you mean receiver? Which probably has tape outputs which will do the same thing. If you are using a stand alone amplifier you may be able to split the line level input signal.. where there is a will there is a way. | |
| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... Your making me laugh now..... that's the heavy bass stuff Heebie and Jeebie listened too in the low rider cruising the hood to check on their ladies to make sure they out street workin'...I have both the Anthem app and the Anthem that seems buil... | |
| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... @doctors11 had a long paragraph about tuning the NHTs using the CMAs I recorded Sunday + some passages from Fear The Walking Dead. Real PIA having to move a chair and plant to get to the back of one and the other from the balcony but it is wh... | |
| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... @doctors11 I wrote you about three pages of exactly what and where and clicked a wrong spot and it all went away. I’ll juts rewrite this very briefly... the controls mount under the sub when front firing so to use a real power cord I need an Audio... | |
| Surge protectors and power conditioners - Good idea or bad? @cdc2 ... I live in South Florida where our summer thunderstorms are notorious destroyers of most everything electrical.and the thought of living without surge protectors and power conditioners is mostly terrifying for audio, video, computer and s... | |
| Speaker Cables @mastering92 to state cable synergy does not exist implies you can't hear a difference in cable performance. IMHO that can only be caused by one of two things.. #1. having a system incapable of resolving the differences #2. having a desperate ... | |
| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... @doctors11 ... I've been getting a lesson on how valuable adjustments from the listening position can be for setting subs Been trying to dial in the two 10" powered subs in the living room video system. Test tones, sound pressure meters.. back ... | |
| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... @doctors11 Thanks for the kind words. I repeated a PM, hopefully this will get to you. I feel the same way about ARC and whether or not it works just the ability to fully control.the sub in small increments from the listening position rather t... | |
| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... @doctors11 Seems both Crutchfield and Music Direct provide a 60 day satisfaction guarantee on purchases. I pulled the trigger, see PM. This is for my music only system also. https://www.martindareff.com/Other/HDR-Treated-Images/i-ZmLg23s/A | |
| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... @m-db Thanks for writing back. It's not so much the smartphone to calibrate anything. It is, and always will be my ears. OTOH, being able to adjust volume by +/- a db, slope, and eq it in three places within it's response band from my listening... |
