| Custom Tuning Conspiracy @kenjit There is no sense in my debating this topic since I disagree with your theory, the idea of a conspiracy, and pretty much every tenet of your premise. The only thing I can add is that if, in fact, "profitability has never been a problem"... | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy If there were a need for this and if it could be accomplished profitably, then somebody would have probably tried it already. My speakers are somewhat tunable as they have three-position switches to adjust both treble energy and environment (i.e.... | |
| Is an autoformer (AVC) always superior to pots and resistors ? @mrdecibel I think the semantics can get tangled when discussing this stuff. Plus, I do not have that much experience with TVC or autoformer preamps. My SMc buffer is designed as an active unity gain buffer. The input voltage is very close to... | |
| Is an autoformer (AVC) always superior to pots and resistors ? @sns - Your Coincident Statement MkII pre may use autoformer volume control pots but it is an active gain preamp using DHTs to provide 13dB of gain. That is a whole different kettle of fish than what those report hearing from “passive” autoformer... | |
| Protip: Using a sub? Plug your mains It seems the high pass filter should be enough. I have read that plugging ports can mess with the speaker performance intended by the designer. Could plugging the ports affect frequencies above the intended level at which the mains cross over to... | |
| Thorsten Loesch vs Amir @fair - As the first post in this thread, your reasoned response just sucked the tailwind out of the expected pile-on. | |
| Is an autoformer (AVC) always superior to pots and resistors ? Great question. I have been looking at the icOn 4PRO passive preamplifier (that uses Slagle autoformers) as a possibility to provide remote volume control and a display in front of my solid state buffer. I am currently using a Hattor passive pre... | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy Thanks @dekay - I needed that! | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle Lots of reasons to like Furutech you can read about here. Cost is $225. I doubt the delta in sound would justify the delta in price between that and the $3,100 Quantum Science outlet in my system. | |
| AES/EBU vs XLR cables for digital connection You have received good answers but I suggest also trying the USB connection. I have owned Cees Ruijtenberg designed Metrum products and would not necessarily say AES/EBU sounded better than USB. I2S sounded good out of the Metrum Amber into the ... | |
| Does anyone know of a repair service for Lamm amplifiers? Just got off the website and it has totally changed sometime in the past few weeks. It appears they are up and running and they have provided contact information including a phone number here. I am glad they didn't go away. | |
| Please share pics of what inside YOUR power conditioners Based on the pics so far, the common theme for power conditioners seems to start with a big ass transformer. | |
| Has the ASR review/hatchet job on the Musetec MH-DA005 Changed Anyone's Mind? If you like the sound of the DAC then don't worry about a negative review or what others think. Regarding the the review being a "hatchet job", I didn't read it that way. There was some early nitpicking about the remote and a power-up delay, but... | |
| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? Please share Erik- solid silver in Teflon tubes, VH Audio’s silver wrapped around a core, Williewonka’s recipe, or something else? What gauge wire? | |
| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality Me too. I heard about this and went to the website last week but didn't see anything about it so I took that as a sign I need to be happy with my eno. |
