| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? @unsound -- you're right. I had a pair of the original Ohm Fs back in the mid-1970s. They had no tweeter, but the cone was made from different materials -- metal at the top to handle highs, but bonded to a paper at the bottom. Any original A and... | |
| Loud Snap at High Volume The Borrensen web site says the tweeter crosses over at 2.5KHz. That seems too high for the tweeter to generate a whiplash sound by itself. However, my first guess goes with what Erik says -- a woofer bottoming out. That can make a cracking soun... | |
| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? @jaymark -- my understanding of most Ohm Walsh speakers is that the main driver has no crossover and runs up to 8KHz or above, and that the single tweeter just uses a single capacitor to cut off frequencies below that point. To my mind, that high ... | |
| Yggdrasil OG dac anologue 2 possible problem The way I read the original post is that he is not concerned about the click itself, but rather the timing difference between the left and right channels. Not sure a quarter of a second is something I'd worry about, but suspect that it is much mor... | |
| Yggdrasil OG dac anologue 2 possible problem Schiit uses different clocks for 44.1K vs 48K (and multiples thereof for 88.2K and 96K, etc.) This gives the most precise handling of the digital to analog conversion. Cheaper DACs will use a single clock and approximate the sample frequency. S... | |
| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? Interesting comments regarding the quality of veneer finish. I tried a set of Ohm 200s about 15 years ago and the cabinet quality was mediocre, but not bad. Fast forward to more recent times and I bought a set of Ohm 1000s about 4 years ago and t... | |
| BS Node N130 USB to External DAC won't work You did say you have a "new" Black Ice DAC. That could be a possible issue if it is new enough that BS hasn't configured their software to work with this particular model, even if it works with other Black Ice models. That has been an issue over... | |
| HD Failing on Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD Player, Need help from Owners of Sony Player Do a Google or Duck Duck Go search for "clone linux hdd to sdd" and you'll get a mountain of info on the subject. | |
| BS Node N130 USB to External DAC won't work In looking at the owners manual for the N130, it has only one USB port. The default setting is as an input for a USB thumb driver or external USB hard drive. The manual says that to use it as a USB output to a DAC, the Node needs updated software... | |
| Room treatment ideas for annoying external noises Another option -- just turn up the volume! | |
| Question about the headphone amplifier in tubed preamps Another interesting option for you -- Schiit has a solid state 6SN7 tube available to replace vacuum tubes. You could get two of those for the headphone section and then you'd never have to worry running down the tube life while they are sitting t... | |
| need amp recommendations for more separation of instruments Besides trying different speaker positions, consider having your room acoustically treated by a professional. Chances are, if the Focal dealer was using $100K of electronics to demo the speakers, I'd suspect they had also put a lot of effort in th... | |
| Using streaming as a main source ---DSD, FLAC, MQA Streamers and DACS @motown-l -- a couple of thoughts... - Getting about a decade's worth of use out of a digital technology product is actually very good. Nothing to complain about there! - There are a number of people that make a good argument that having 24 bit... | |
| Mu metal for Brio Integratdd I remain confused. I can't imagine a well respected manufacturer releasing an amp with audible hum. Don't know which Tekton speakers you have, but do know they are a bit more sensitive than many speakers, but hardly anything over the top in that ... | |
| Using streaming as a main source ---DSD, FLAC, MQA Streamers and DACS MQA was invented as a way to reduce the file size with ostensibly less loss of audio quality compared to MP3 and other lossy formats. MQA is still a lossy format -- they've intentionally tossed part of the music data to reduce file size. That was... |
