| Emerald Physics history and model progression Good to know about wire can be upgraded.So what I gather is the CS-series = Clayton ShawAnd EP and KC came later with Underwood. What does EP and KC stand for? | |
| Emerald Physics history and model progression Attempting to decipher model numbers, seems the least to best progression isKC - CS - EP (EP being best/most expensive). With regard to numbering pattern, lower prefix is better, and higher suffix is later generation. Example, best latest model is... | |
| Economical full-range floor-standing speaker options? Some say spec’s don’t tell whole story, this is certainly true.However, my perspective is this... we wouldn’t buy other gear that couldn’t reproduce the full audible range accurately, why should speakers be different.Looking at each component in t... | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? Dennis seems to have knowledge. I spoke with him once about my room - he basically said the dimensions and layout are both unfixable ("Don't bother trying to fix it, buy a different house."). His systems probably work quite well. Maybe the cost vs... | |
| Economical full-range floor-standing speaker options? @bubba12 Those Song3’s are beautiful - Wow! Curley Maple with Silver Gray Die and Burst Edge really hits the spot. https://www.salksound.com/gallery/Song3%20BeAT/s3-BeAT-silvergrayburst.jpg @atmasphere I intended to do a swarm-like sub system orig... | |
| Economical full-range floor-standing speaker options? Great recommendations - thank you. I really would like to try them both CeLest and LSA-20 Statements. | |
| Finally found THE SPEAKER!!! Very exciting for you, those great discovery moments are the reward for years of learning and searching - enjoy! Checked the website, their floor-standing and on-wall models look similar to Martin Logan SLM, Definitive Mythos, GoldenEar SuperSat, ... | |
| Power strips- too many choices I recently switched from Panamax MR4300 to Furman Elite-15DM (I liked it because it displays live voltage and current). It made a difference in the sound (micro-details and bass texture) - and I'm not a believer in such nonsense. When I realized t... | |
| Tekton Electron SE @wisty Congratulations with the ElectronSE. I too had a pair of Double Impacts (upgrade version and with grills and spikes) - they were outstanding.I also have GoldenEar Triton 3+, and Martin Logan e-stats, but the nail in the coffin for the DI's ... | |
| I've been dragged to recommendations, kicking and screaming Amazon Music Ultra HD, automatically creates the following ever-changing algorithm/history based playlists that can be downloaded to up to 10 devices to play offline: My Mix, My Soundtrack, and My Discovery Mix. Also, auto-fill is on by default (c... | |
| Why so obsessed with bass? Answering the first part of the question, "Why subs?" - because music can include frequencies in the human audible range, 20Hz to 20,000Hz. Most speakers (towers and otherwise) can't play as low as 20Hz; therefore, as a listener, your potentially ... | |
| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? Very fond of a pair of LXmini's I DIY'd last year - inspiring the sale of Tekton DI w/factory upgrade, and they outshine the ML's, B&W's and GE's (floor-standers still have in the stable). Others just can't compete - they all just sound like s... | |
| During this isolation, I would be interested in suggestions of great movies you like. The Fifth Element has it all, ancient aliens, action, comedy, off-world space, high-tech weapons, etc. Good for the whole family! | |
| Bluesound installed DAC - music killer? @jazzman7 Just as you said, NAD C-658 does not have digital output. M50.2 is the only NAD unit that can feed coax digital to outboard DAC. None of the other NAD gear has the capability of sending BluOS stream (by MDC module or otherwise) to coax d... | |
| Bluesound installed DAC - music killer? @asw The NAD C-658 is probably the BluOS streamer/pre-amp/DAC you're referring to. It is part of the "Classic" (C-***) series. It uses ESS-Sabre 32bit DAC and includes MM phono stage, DiracLive bass correction (and pay-upgrade to full-freq. versio... |
