| Converting two-car garage to listening room. What would you do? Check out "Acoustics Insider" on YouTube. It is a series done by a professional acoustician, a studio and control room designer. Many questions are answered, including yours.I agree with MC that the issue would be similar dimensions, not parallel ... | |
| Ethernet source What DAC are you using?Would it be possible to run a long Ethernet cable to your audio room to see if that improves things? | |
| Where to buy Mogami 2804 /2803 in the US? Good luck with this! From the one page that came up via Google search -- an outfit that sells cable assemblies made with 2804 -- it looks nearly impossible to obtain. | |
| What ever happened to.... I sold my VPI brick about 20 years ago. I was hoping it would reduce transformer hum in my amplifier. It didn't. | |
| We spend too much time talking about tweeters 85% of the sound out of a speaker if not 95% is not in the tweeter True, depending how you measure it -- yet 95% of the *irritation* comes from the tweeter. That's why people talk about them. | |
| NAD M33 or NAIM UNITI NOVA? I’ve heard the Naim at a local dealership, and I enjoyed it very much. I have not heard the M33, but I’ve listened carefully to another amp using the PuriFi modules, with a very positive reaction.So, it seems to me you may have two good choices. O... | |
| what is the advantage of having a Roon core that's not on your computer? What Eric said. And less wear and tear on your imac. | |
| The Absolute Sound as compared to just sound? re: Headphones. You are the best one. Make a short list from reviews and recommendations, then find places to try them. Tedious, but far more reliable than trusting someone else 's ears. | |
| Tube Preamp to go with Bryston SST2 amp and Magnepan 1.7i speakers Not crazy. While shopping for speakers years ago, I had an extended audition of the Arial 7t using an all -Bryston system with a 4BSST2. It was one hell of a good sounding setup. One of the best I’ve heard. | |
| I am looking for a reasonable cartridge for a modified AR ES-1 turntable I had an AR ES-1 and used it with a Grado cartridge. That was at least 15 years ago.Yes, the motor field did induce hum into the cartridge. I bought some mu-metal foil and put it under the platter and was able to get around that. I regret, I can’t... | |
| High end Class D amps? @jaytor - For sure. I wasn’t sure I read the spec right . . . the output impedance of the 1ET400A is specified as <65μΩ @ 1kHz. Sixty-five millionths of an ohm. The output terminals will add more impedance to the circuit than the module itself! | |
| High end Class D amps? Then next you lot may as well just tell us to use this 6000watt!!!!! Class-D Behringer for just $600us.I didn't say that; I didn't say that all amps are equal, nor that they sound the same, nor that they are of the same quality.I did say that I f... | |
| High end Class D amps? @georgehifi -- It doesn’t matter. It puts out 500 watts into 2 ohms. That’s enough for most users. I consider "doubling" an irrelevant factor. Does the amp generate enough power for the intended use? If so, it’s a good choice (as far as power goes... | |
| High end Class D amps? @milpai - You’re welcome. The "cubed" Brystons run cool, and the Apollons run very cool. I haven’t noticed a huge difference, though the Apollons probably generate less waste heat.My speakers are a pair of Janszen Valentina P8. Janszen rates them ... | |
| High end Class D amps? @milpai - The Apollons haven't replaced my other amp yet; I'm still deciding. They and the Bryston 4B3 are really nice amps, so it's not simple. Their gains are different, and since I have subs in the system, it's not trivial to swap one in and th... |
