| 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. | |

| Mojo Audio - Mystique Y NC DAC @brbrock Hello. I purchased most of the Mojo Audio DACs I have owned new, except for the two I have now. The EVO Pro, I purchased from a reviewer and I don't believe either of us knew it had Z-chips in it. My more recent purchase of the X SE ... | |
| Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ? I look at speakers as the macro part of my system while the source/front end I consider to be micro. I found it much harder to find speakers that worked for me sonically, plus large heavy speakers are much harder to move around than front end equi... | |
| Free Tip for Jumpers @bdp24 - I get that many/most manufacturers do not use boutique wire and crossover parts, but some use better parts (mostly caps) where they believe it will make a sonic difference. Standard OFC hook up wire is still 101% conductivity on the IACS... | |
| Free Tip for Jumpers So, am I to understand that a speaker designer/manufacturer who makes their living from actually specifying the drivers used, and designing the cabinets, driver layout, bracing, crossovers, frequency range for each driver, and how to make it all w... | |
| Active Speakers Don't Sound Better “Seems to me the greatest motivation in buying active speakers is to save space.” Don’t forget convenience. With active speakers, you could literally have a single component (streaming DAC) with variable volume control (certainly not rare these... | |
| Active Speakers Don't Sound Better "Green cars are better than blue cars." Of course its all relative. There are pluses and minuses to just about everything. Dedicating on-board amplification to each driver is a potential benefit but the quality of those amplifiers must also be co... | |
| Thumper’s Mother I am trying not to think too deeply today, but I did observe that Thumper’s Mother might be able to help over on the ASR thread. |
