| Can a dac really be future proof? "Perfect Sound Forever." "DACs are more transparent than the physiology of human hearing!" Doesn't have quite the same ring to it now, does it? Equally absurd though, it must be said. | |
| Amps for driving Tekton Electron SE One comment on that video got it right: what you hear with a tube amp is the output transformers. Okay, technically you hear everything, the whole package. But it gets the point across that there's much more than tubes to a tube amp. If you're r... | |
| Springs under turntable Duke explained this some 2 years ago (that I saw, and probably before that) and it was one of the many facts that helped convince me to build my DBA. Audio is full of complex concepts and this is a big one: human beings DO NOT hear all frequencie... | |
| How many power supply devices do I need? Depends on where you live. Contact your local utility to determine whether they need to build a new dam or coal fired plant and run dedicated lines for each component. This sadly is the point where it must be stated I am kidding. Just plug them i... | |
| Amps for driving Tekton Electron SE I have Moabs running with my 50 wpc Melody tube amp. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 I barely crack the volume to reach a nice satisfying listening level. Can fill my 17x24 room with very high levels, like start to worry about my ears, w... | |
| Springs under turntable Even though Duke (Audiokinesis) and others have posted this repeatedly a lot of people still don’t know. So here’s the scoop: scientific research has demonstrated that human beings cannot hear low bass frequencies AT ALL unless it is a full wavele... | |
| Help with TT ideas for my first TT Wow what an experience, were there pops? Yes, did I care not really as it was just part of the experience. Could be a great recording, could be a good cart, could be both but there is some thing special going on for me. The segregation. Of Instrum... | |
| Audio tips for rewiring old home Too funny. When people post, there should be a link to their system page. So people reading their advice can go and look and see if there's any chance the poster has actual experience with what they're talking about. Then you can, you know, sort ... | |
| Springs under turntable With springs its very important they be tuned to the mass of the component. What seems to work best is a spring soft enough to compress about half way when loaded. If it compresses more than 2/3 then the component is too heavy and you need to use ... | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! I got mine about a month now. My Bryston 7bsst2 couldn’t drive them. This speaker is extremely power hungry. Now I need to save up to get me a power amp to drive this speaker. This is a big if often times underappreciated part of owning a real wo... | |
| Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo? atmasphere nailed it. | |
| Springs under turntable Added more of these things, now have them under the turntable, phono stage, amp, conditioner, and all 5 subs. Plus of course the different springs under the Moabs. Things were going great until I started noticing a really bad drone or rumble. Imme... | |
| Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? Tweaks are exactly how you build a great audio system. I would even go so far as to say you cannot build a great audio system for any amount of money, it simply will not be great without tweaks. Sorry. You can build an expensive audio system witho... | |
| Luxman PD 210 belt change Lol! Love it when the one part of the video you really want to see goes jerky and black then next thing you know, done! Like magic! He should make one where he opens the hood on a car, camera goes all shaky and black, then wala! Engine rebuilt! Lol! | |
| Family Problems... Sounds like you just need to get another one then. Because fixing this one, you could call someone like the Soundsmith but how much can you possibly save, compared to the turnaround time? You were happy with it before and don't want to experiment,... |
