| Repair JL Audio F112 or buy new Rhythmic, SVS, or ?? Thanks again, guys, for the comments. A lot to mull over. | |
| Repair JL Audio F112 or buy new Rhythmic, SVS, or ?? I'll add Hsu to my list. Thanks! | |
| Repair JL Audio F112 or buy new Rhythmic, SVS, or ?? Erik -- It appears that JL Audio under-spec’ed some electrolytics on their plate amp; when they repair, they use higher-spec ones.My subs are v.1 and have only the one-band ARO (EQ) -- which I don’t use, as my Anthem STR Preamp does more. A repair... | |
| Repair JL Audio F112 or buy new Rhythmic, SVS, or ?? Thanks, guys, for the advice. @golfnutz - I considered doing it myself the last time. Decided against it because of lack of space, poor eyesight, and mediocre soldering skills. However, I may reconsider this time. | |
| Does Age Matter? 72. Digital only: it has no wow and flutter, no pops and ticks, excellent sound (like LP, not necessarily, but just as possible), and a MUCH larger repertoire. My tastes far exceed what’s available on LP, and I long ago tired of the fussing with V... | |
| Streaming to outboard DACs - file format issues Sure, the DAC probably is the limiting factor, but whether it’s of any consequence or not depends on you. It’s quite uncertain whether anything higher than 24/96 adds value or sound quality to the experience. Some say they hear it; but most blind ... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I have listened quite carefully to a pair of monoblocks made by Apollon Audio using the PuriFi modules. In my system, in my room, with my own source material, I consider them in the same league as the well-respected Class AB amp I normally use -- ... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? To the OP:Calling PuriFi "junk" because you don’t like something you bought that has PuriFi modules in it makes no sense. I bought some iced tea that tasted bad. Does that mean tea is junk? Water is junk?You don’t like the amps you bought, underst... | |
| Do speaker wires matter If you had said the wires were 30 feet long, I’d say, look for wire with relatively low inductance. (High inductance will cause a rolloff of high frequencies and may interact with the speaker and/or amp.) It’s doesn’t have to be expensive -- the B... | |
| DAC's Made in the USA The Lynx Hilo is made in the USA. It is reasonably priced for what it offers, which is more than you are looking for. | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? When I’m selling, I respond to all offers. That doesn’t mean I counter or accept them. Some, I just say, "No, thanks."I think it’s better business practice to respond promptly to anyone who bothers to send an offer. I’ll go further, I find it rude... | |
| Do speaker wires matter I agree the Marantz is probably underpowered for these speakers.How long are the speaker wires? | |
| I'm pretty excited about my new room i'm building I'm encouraged that you aren't planning to put impervious flooring on the slab of your room. Not doing that, you have dodged a bullet IMO.Regarding paint, many products claim to "seal" concrete with epoxy or paint. I would not use them, because it... | |
| I'm pretty excited about my new room i'm building I have a room (below grade) on a slab here in Portland, OR. It had an engineered cork floor, installed at the suggestion of the contractor. It was really gorgeous and softer and warmer underfoot than wood or Pergo.Water vapor passes through any co... | |
| dithering JRiver output down to 18 bits I am not -- the plugins I've used do only 16 bits, 24 bits, 32 bits. Still, I would like to offer related advice. When you find your plugin, if it offers several types of dither, listen before you decide which to use. I did some recording a few ye... |
