| DSD vs PCM .. Truth or Myth @elizabeth DSD implementation in my current player is better than the implementation of decoding PCM in the machine I had owned. What does that mean? How was PCM poorly decoded/played in your system? Did you have aliasing/images? Plus yesterday’... | |
| Sub Woofer set up @millercarbon Then you get the phase cancellations that I mentioned. | |
| Sub Woofer set up https://www.soundstagenetwork.com/measurements/silverline_sonatina_iii/ Your mains start to lose output at just 100Hz anechoic (they are also decently v-shaped, unless you listen at low levels). So yeah, all speakers should be set to Small and t... | |
| DSD vs PCM .. Truth or Myth DSD provides no benefit over PCM, the article’s (correct) point in a nutshell. | |
| Should I buy Anthem 1120 for a 11 speaker system or Sony 5000 ES The 5000ES is dealer only, so of course a dealer would recommend it. Marantz 6013 or 7013 would be better. | |
| room size required for Tekton double impacts Room size is mostly irrelevant for monopole speakers. Seating distance is a huge factor, you want to be far enough away so that all the drivers combine to sound like 1 speaker. From what I can find from manufacturer recommendations across brands,... | |
| Should I buy Anthem 1120 for a 11 speaker system or Sony 5000 ES Look at Denon or Marantz. | |
| Upgrading It’s DAC section is sub-par for its price, which shouldn’t matter to you, but the analog and amplification section of the Cary Audio SI-300.2d is pretty good:* 0Hz-20kHz +/-0.1dB at 8ohm* 300W @ 0.2% THD into 8ohm* 450W @0.2% THD into 4ohm* Most i... | |
| Preamps Since you likely are never gaining your input source voltages, it doesn’t really matter if the preamp is active or not. How are you unhappy if you stated you don’t know what you don’t know? Try not using the pre-amp and drive your amp directly w... | |
| Is a Bryston 3B SST2 enough for Magnepan 3.7i or 20.7? @maplegrovemusicI feel you are not understanding at all what I’m saying. I’ll try to be more clear: 1) If you listen to music at soft levels, you aren’t using as many watts. This should be common sense. 2) If you aren’t using a lot of watts, you... | |
| Is a Bryston 3B SST2 enough for Magnepan 3.7i or 20.7? @maplegrovemusic So you aren’t gonna answer the question? And no, I specifically stated that 25W was enough for low level listening (90dB peaks). If one wanted 100dB peaks, that’s 10x the wattage, so 250W. | |
| Is a Bryston 3B SST2 enough for Magnepan 3.7i or 20.7? @maplegrovemusic Please explain how a 200W amp has more bass than a 100W amp when only using 50W. You can throw all the mathematical equations out to support a low power amp will drive a speaker the same as a larger amp does . If the speaker was... | |
| Is a Bryston 3B SST2 enough for Magnepan 3.7i or 20.7? @maplegrovemusic Your saying a ten watt amp is all that is needed for a Magnepan 3.7i I never said that, I was addressing your claim: your going to get bass at lower volumes with a bigger amp Which is untrue, as I explained above. As for the... | |
| Is a Bryston 3B SST2 enough for Magnepan 3.7i or 20.7? @maplegrovemusic That is wholefully false. 99% of solid state amps amplify linearly, doesn’t matter the volume. A 50W amp and a 500W are gonna have the same amount of bass if only using 10W (if everything else is similar). | |
| RME ADI 2 DAC question Wrong terminology, and irrelevant anyway. All you need to know is the output voltage, output impedance, and output quality. Output voltage is can reach 2Vrms or 4Vrms for unbalanced/balanced respectively, so it’s standard and will allow any power... |
