| Denafrips Pontus II 1.4 Firmware *** DO NOT UPGRADE UNTIL *** You verify the version of your FPGA chip. Look for the number on the programable “ALTERA” chip. I also have EP4CE6F. If you upgrade the wrong firmware version, you will “brick/break” your Pontus II. If you like wh... | |
| 18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers @thxbest. 3x KEF LS50 Metas with 5.25-inch midrange drivers, 2x KEF Q150 Correct me if I’m wrong, your Musuc/HT system isn’t design for more than 4-6 people in a medium size room. These speakers will have a hard time with anything larger anyway. ... | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? @12many Can anyone listen to the first 20 second of the song Temptation by Diana Krall from the Girl In The Other Room album and let me know if there is a bass component that is a bit much? The vocals sound good so no issue there. As requested,... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results Keeping your preamp is a great advise, but don’t let anyone tell you what you like. Your system, room acoustic, and personal taste matters the most. | |
| Speaker cable lifters. I’d tried ceramic, wood, laser printed, popsicle sticks, etc. On tile or wood flooring, raising my cables mainly keep dust bunnies from clinging and very little else. On carpeted floor, I do hear a difference especially during dry winters. I found... | |
| Listen with your skin. Anything that affects perceptions account for what we hear, smell, touch, and feel. Mental, physical, and spiritual conditions inclusive. Not the “Zen” type myself but my skin had been acting up as of late. With multiple upgrades, tweaks, and reco... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update Since the used Terminator mewsickbuff purchased doesn’t registered in Vinshine database, it was most likely through gray market. Not that I’d owned many gears, but in my 40 years of High-end audio pursue, I can count in one finger that offers free... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update I would like to start by thanking Alvin and Vinshine Team for their hard work and support. Consider the hundreds/thousands of units sold across the world, firmware update program across product lines is a daunting task. And to top off their commit... | |
| HOW TO CHOOSE A SPEAKER CABLE? In my humble opinion after 40yrs at this hobby, choose the shortest Speaker cable you can get away with. Inch per inch, speaker cable usually contribute more to the sound quality/signature than interconnect. And with high quality Balance IC, the d... | |
| For those of you who had spent over hundred thousand dollars for your sound system. Are you nuts? I don’t spend even a tiny fraction of this kind money in my systems. Wife looking over my shoulders.......... | |
| Any tricks to remove drivers from a (sticky) cabinet If your speaker cabinet is a sealed box, unscrew your driver and play low frequency signal through it at high volume. It may pop the driver off. If it’s a ported speaker, try blocking off the port until it’s air tight before applying signal. Works... | |
| Tonality of Jay's Transport? @stuartk High-Rez is relative to ones perspective. Unfortunately I’m unfamiliar with Hegel or Silverline. I’m sure they are great to capture a fellow audiophile’s ears. So I can’t comment on these pieces. Using the Jay in my secondary system, I... | |
| Tonality of Jay's Transport? Yes I should have quantify my observation that the Esoteric I was using is an older SA-50 clock linked with G25U as transport. Far from latest. It is in my humble opinion in my modest system that it’s more analytical and sterile. Latest and greate... | |
| Tonality of Jay's Transport? Just a couple of additional observation with my unit. After upgrading my unit to Mk3, the transport sounded dull and two dimensional the first 100 hour. However it opened up after an extensive burn-in with XLO disc track #8. During burn-in, the t... | |
| Jays cdt2mk3 After purchasing a Mark2 that dumped garbage and locking up my QEDX, I purchased the Mk3 board. After the upgrade, the transport sounded dull and two dimensional the first 100 hours. It didn’t even compete against my lowly Oppo. However it open up... |
