| Digital Tone Controls - Roon and Others, really not bad I first bought a TacT 2.2X around 2006, because I thought its DSP was more transparent than the EQ in my Cello Palette Preamp. Some years later, I sent it out to a mod shop in California, who never returned it. So it’s hard to say how it compares ... | |
| It pays to measure ... Eric, I can't help with your main problem, but I wanted to point out that your processor supports an older version of ARC. It is available here: https://www.anthemarc.com/downloads/index.phpI can't say that it will be better or worse than REW, but... | |
| Streaming Equipment and Sound Quality Downloaded 320 mpgs won’t sound as good as CDs when both are played through a good system. Downloaded FLAC files are more popular among audiophiles, and to my ears, they can sound as good as or better than physical CDs. The difference is entirely ... | |
| What next? Pass X350.8 vs Mcintosh MC312 + Room Correction I have had the STR Preamp for almost a year and like it a lot. The room correction is cleaner than other units I’ve tried, and I do like the way it looks. Anthem is a bit slow fixing bugs in the software, but still it is quite usable and gives goo... | |
| Questions about Jacintha Yes, I think you will enjoy her singing. | |
| How do you audition speakers at a store? FIdelis -- yes, definitely them as well as Goodwin's. | |
| How do you audition speakers at a store? Isn't Goodwin's High End in Boston? They are an excellent store, and a lot closer than NJ, I'd think. Many years ago, they had a room whose acoustics I've never heard equalled. Worth a visit just for that.Some good ideas above: Call ahead, make an... | |
| Music Server buying considerations It sounds like you have a nice setup already.I’m not sure what you mean by a music server. It’s kind of a vague term. Something to send music over your home network? Or a PC (they are all really PCs of some kind) that is specifically configured an... | |
| How do you audition speakers at a store? It is difficult, picking out speakers. As @geof352 does, I always get a final audition at home, after as many store visits as needed to be sure the speaker is a real candidate for me. That only seems reasonable for an expenditure in the thousands.... | |
| New Classe Delta amps and stereo pre amp The amps are not class D. The preamp seems to be a significant update of the CP-800; by which I mean, similar features + phono. The MSRP if $12,000 is twice as much. | |
| New Classe Delta amps and stereo pre amp I am curious, too; though I think their pricing has moved out of my bracket. | |
| Bryston 7B3 compared with McIntosh MAC6700 Integrated About 5 yrs ago, I heard an all-Bryston system (DAC, preamp, amp) at a dealership with Arial 7ts. It was quite impressive, all right. | |
| Mogami 50 ft XLR cable for subwoofer Either will work fine for a sub. The AES3 cable has controlled 110-ohm impedance for digital audio. The other is designed for analog audio.You can have a cable made up to your specs with Mogami W2549 mic cable and gold Neutrik XLRs for about $70 b... | |
| How best to sell my dad's McIntosh integrated amp, CD player speakers? The correct boxes should include the correct inserts. I don't know if Mc uses foam or cardboard. Once you have those, a little thought, inspection, and trial-and-error should reveal the right way to pack each unit. Be sure to put a plastic bag aro... | |
| Bryston 7B3 compared with McIntosh MAC6700 Integrated I found your comparison interesting. FYI, I use a 4B3 and have not found shoutiness and glare present; recessed vocals seem to vary from recording to recording, so I assumed that they are accurately represented.I will make an exception to the abov... |
