| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? Who is to judge? With most products and services, if at least some people don't complain about the price then it is probably not high enough. If it priced too high, then it won't sell. The purpose of most businesses it to make money so the goo... | |
| Do No Harm ... well the least harm anyway @koestner Ha - Thanks for the reminder since I had forgotten that I listed the filter - no replies yet. The Marchand passive filter (XM446XLR-A) worked as advertised but it simply didn't lead to an audible improvement in the sound of my system.... | |
| Do No Harm ... well the least harm anyway IME, the potential benefit of using a high pass filter relates to the quality of the low bass reproduced by the main speakers, the ability of the main speakers to handle power in the low frequencies, the ability of the amplifier to supply sufficie... | |
| Isolation devices- to use 3 or 4 footers? Anyone here use the brass cones from Live Vibe Audio? Yes, I read their stuff years ago and tried them under my speakers and components but did not discern any sonic difference between those and other spikes/cones such as edenSound or even the ... | |
| Isolation devices- to use 3 or 4 footers? Four, primarily for stability. When changing out cables or fiddling around with your system, having four footers reduces the chances of a component tipping. You can position them a little asymmetrical, as needed, to account for unbalanced loading... | |
| speakers and cables @immatthewj Your Klipsch link is the most applicable to what the OP is doing. The person on that link who suggested running the line level connectors to the subs first and then a second line level connection from the subs to the amps, was using t... | |
| Do your ears deceive you? @knotscott It’s kinda funny....I’ve wanted every single set of cables I’ve ever installed in my system to sound like "The Ones", yet several sets hang on the wall of my basement shop, got passed on my boys, or got resold, because once all the ex... | |
| speakers and cables I have the same feeling about Y splitters, not very audiophile-ish. I will not argue the impressions of audiophiles but I don’t believe there is any electrical difference between preamps with two rca outputs and what is accomplished by the spli... | |
| speakers and cables @grislybutter Yes or, if you prefer, left preamp out to left amplifier input and left subwoofer line-level input, and right preamp out to right amp input and right sub line-level input. Good luck. | |
| speakers and cables How many splitters would I need for two subs? You need a splitter for each channel, so two in your case. I linked AudioQuest splitters but if you check lower down the linked Amazon page, you will find no-name brands for about half the AQ versi... | |
| speakers and cables I didn’t read every post but if not already recommended, why not use rca splitters from your single rca output then let the internal amplifiers in your powered subs do the work? Parden please, if I am somehow missing the issue. | |
| Weights on top of equipment to dampen vibration I had a bunch of extra edenSound Bear Paw footers that I decided to quit using so I wrapped them with heat shrink and applied top/bottom thin adhesive non-slip pads and now have a bunch of brass weights that I can position on top of equipment and ... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO Pro Z vs. Mystique X SE NC Z - a comparison and mini-review Right now, at least for the time being, I plan on keeping both Mojo DACs and the SMc DAC. I am currently using a Metrum Jade in my outdoor system, which I will probably replace with one of the others so I will be selling the Jade and a Benchmark ... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO Pro Z vs. Mystique X SE NC Z - a comparison and mini-review One difference is that the Mojo Audio DACs are R2R designs and the SMc DAC is a Delta-Sigma DAC. There is an image of the inside of the SMc Audio DAC-2 GT-24 on my system page. Steve and Patrick did use some high end parts and I am sure their 30... | |
| Mojo Audio - Mystique Y NC DAC You can now find my impressions of the two DACs here. |
