| Cool running, low powered power amp Yet another vote for the Schiit Aegir. The Aegir 1 is class A up to about 10 watts/ch. It does run warmer than a class D amp, but nowhere near as hot as a KT88 tube amp gets. The Aegir 2 has just been released and they list for $900. It has a b... | |
| 2 vidar 1’s or 1 vidar 2? Correct - bridged amps are more sensitive to impedance dips than non-bridged. I wasn't suggesting an Aegir for you, but rather trying to say with your room size and lack of need for high volumes I think a single Vidar 2 would be great. I have no p... | |
| 2 vidar 1’s or 1 vidar 2? Jason Stoddard is one of the owners of Schiit and the head designer of their preamps and power amps. Here’s his explanation of the difference between the original Vidar and the Vidar 2. The link is to the specific post on the Head-fi web site; scr... | |
| Qobuz using Bluetooth? The Bluetooth speakers I've used need to be paired with a source, like your phone, PC, Wiim Mini or Pro, or other device. It is the device that it is paired with that determines what it can play. I have a Qobuz subscription and it works fine via ... | |
| **Smoking integrated tube amp, advice needed: It could have been working fine for the seller but damaged in transit. Boxes get tossed around and could have jarred something lose without damaging the shipping box. The problem is that if the box itself isn't damaged it can be tough to make a c... | |
| Outlet Question Do not put a 20 amp outlet on a 15 amp circuit. 15 amp circuits have 15 amp breakers and 14 gauge wire. The 20 amp circuit has 12 gauge wire and 20 amp breakers. It the current outlet is only 15 amps it should not be replaced with a 20 amp one. (... | |
| Schiit Loki equalizer causing POPPING SOUND Did you try switching the cables from left to right in & out of the Loki to see if the sound moves to the other side? That would confirm that its the Loki and not something else. (Example, the Loki could be fine but there is some DC offset fr... | |
| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? "without his permission" was your wording, not mine, from the opening post. You should wear it with pride! | |
| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? So, we're back to needing permission before making public comment about a product. Would love to have a list of those other companies that have threatened or instigated litigation over an unwanted audio review. I think I've said what I have to ... | |
| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? @seanheis1 -- I think you are confusing "permission" from a company for a review with notifying them, the latter which is perhaps more common with the "influencer" crowd that generates money from views and the traditional audio web sites that ofte... | |
| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? @seanheis1 -- I was reacting to your specific comment in the original post that a review was done "without his [Eric's] permission". I thought it very odd to strongly imply that a product manufacturer's "permission" is needed before anyone is all... | |
| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? @seanheis1 -- "Eric is a special case in that it has become a pubic dispute..." Umm... if you had bothered to check out how this whole thing started, it was self-induced by Eric. The original ASR review, which was said the speaker was so-so rathe... | |
| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? @seanheis1 -- just a quick observation -- Consumers Reports has been publishing reviews of all manner of goods since 1936 without the maker's permission. Yelp is full of public comments -- many very negative -- about products and services that ... | |
| Mcintosh customer support @sabih -- you complained about McIntosh's poor communications with you that required multiple back-and-forths to get an answer, but your own postings leave me a bit confused. I've read the thread twice and it's not clear to me if they are simply ... | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama The irony of this self-inflicted wound for Tekton is that the original ASR review was in October 2023. It had gone dormant at 8 pages over just a few weeks, still within that month. Things didn’t start up again until Eric inserted himself into the... |
