| How do you know if you are upgrading your DAC? The only sure fire way of being sure you have upgraded your DAC is to buy a turntable and compare. The better the upgrade the more it will sound like a record. That's how you tell. | |
| Should I use long interconnects, or long speaker cables? That's because all the most rigorously controlled experiments prove the best most efficient geometry is daisy chain. Especially when used with super high end outdoor speakers. A few listeners claim to hear slight degradations but they were using s... | |
| So you have a great hi end stereo preamp, but Why can’t the OP use a HT processor that has analog pass through so the analog signal bypasses it’s DAC, straight to the amps? Oh, he can. For sure. Probably does. So what? Its still ruining the sound merely having the thing in the same room. Peop... | |
| Should I use long interconnects, or long speaker cables? Simple $30 Nobsound spring fix vs complicated expensive move everything around see if maybe that works. So of course we are running 3 against one in favor of what we know will only spend money without producing the desired result. Springs would no... | |
| What do you no longer have that you would enjoy a night to listen to again? You want to know the PURE CRAZY part Dave? I believe Buffy might actually have been her real name. | |
| So you have a great hi end stereo preamp, but After reading his last post I think you should have said, "Okay, enjoy yourselves." | |
| Receiver recently repaired - Now producing fuzzy distortion in higher frequencies?? Probably blew your tweeters. If you like to listen real loud then almost certainly that's what it is. Way to test, find any other speakers you can and see if they make that same sound. | |
| What do you no longer have that you would enjoy a night to listen to again? I had a 1972 240Z, cammed, with a 6 into 2 header and Weber side drafts that when tuned had the best balance of intake and exhaust notes I ever.... oh wait you mean stereo gear? None of my own gear. Not really. There was one budget system though... | |
| Is it my amp or my speakers? I have Moabs. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Wife likes em a lot. I let her pick the color. The thing about Tekton, Eric has come up with a technology and design approach so superior to others he is able to offer speakers that out-perf... | |
| Is it my amp or my speakers? Its not that hard. Your budget is $3k. The choice is clear. https://www.tektondesign.com/double-impact.html | |
| Are Innuos about to lunch new models? I mean Richard III. | |
| Vibration Control and the Townshend Audio Seismic Pods With Cones they are stiff and three points define a plane so always use 3 except for speakers where its usually 4. With springs though it varies more. Four is great under the turntable as it makes it a whole lot easier to level. Also use 4 under t... | |
| Used phono preamp options - feedback requested The ARC PH3SE is indeed a fine phono stage for the money. They would be about $900 or so now. Was very happy with mine, had it something like 20 years! Until I got the Herron. At which point I must say I was SHOCKED to hear how much better it was ... | |
| Vibration Control and the Townshend Audio Seismic Pods Thanks, those will be great for when I start running a jackhammer and testing nitro fuel drag engines in my listening room. My rack at 700lbs is a fraction of what those are designed for. Actually Townshend does have springs that would work to iso... | |
| So you have a great hi end stereo preamp, but This might be a good time to submerge for a while. |
