| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... @ artemus_5 thanks for the response. The 9i is listed at -6 db at 29 hz. That's really not the direction I want to go and prefer a product more advanced on the phone control technology side.@ oldhvymec thanks for the response. There is one i... | |
| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... @ghosthouse4 thanks again... I have a test track for you as well. It has some lower guitar notes and an organ note the NHT B10 d could not handle, the C10 did better but not decently. It’s on a Patricia Barber album, "A Distortion of Love", 24 bit... | |
| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... @donvito .. thanks for the info. Unfortunately there are no real "dealers" with retail stores in my area, just custom installer dealers, and they only deal through stores. It is a very interesting product and if this was for a home theater appl... | |
| 10" self powered sub-woofers..... Thanks for the response. I looked at the SVS and it does tick many of the right boxes, size, return-ability and remote app. I'm just not sure of the ability of a 12" sub at that price point to be able to run with the 8" woofers and panels on mus... | |
| How much difference in Sound quality can be expected from different streamers? +2 to what @worldwidewholesales said. To put things in context the listenable FM station in Miami have dwindled to useless so I began to investigate streamers in the late part of 2019. I think it’s fair to say I have a high resolution system in wh... | |
| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well My first DAC was a new PS Audio Ultra Link... that was followed by an Ultra Link II which was much better. From there I moved into one box with a high-end Marantz player ($3500) I didn’t care for and sold after about a year. I replaced it with a S... | |
| Interconnects—Just a thought. re-read russ69 's post. | |
| Anyone have the Answer? Your AC line measures from the back of the device it is connected to all the way to the power station that generated it and includes any substations along the way. All of it, the entire distance, picks up EMI and RFI.I used Tripplite for many yea... | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? My sweet spot only needs to be big enough to put my head in. LOL, you may need an extra wide, I don't. | |
| If your were to assemble a vintage system ? I'd start right here.... magnificent sound then .. 30 years ago, and magnificent still. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pair-of-Acoustat-Model-Spectra-1100-Electrostatic-Speakers/174192845960?has... or https://www.ebay.com/itm/ACOUSTAT-MK-14... | |
| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? I use a Cambridge CXN (V2) for streaming and a Sony XA 5400 ES for CD/SACD. The Sony was a Stereophile A+ component for three years running a few years back. I have streamed on Spotify but am 99% Tidal which is 16/44 FLAC almost exclusively.I ha... | |
| Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost? In my experience everything changes the sound.. tubes, speaker cables, interconnects, power cords and most certainly a piece of gear. I didn't note you expressed a sonic deficiency you wanted to change. You do understand a different amp could v... | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? December of 2019 I added a Cambridge CXN (V2) streamer to the system from Music Direct, 60 day Satisfaction Guarantee. It sounded horrid but I read somewhere someone else had the same result and it was much better with an upgraded power cord and ... | |
| CD player reliability.... good and bad. My issue with CD players is a bit different. My first player was a Sony something or other about 37 years ago (+/-). It was about the deadest sounding music I had ever heard although being free of cleaning vinyl and the associated clicks and pop... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. When I close my eyes and the performer is standing in my room in front of me how much does it matter if it's vinyl or a streamer? Personally, I like to play several of the streaming acoustic stations and when I run across an artist I like I just ... |
