| In-wall cable help You might need to purchase unterminated in-wall bulk cable from somewhere like Markertek, and then cut to length and add your own connectors. Using a wall plate and then running a separate cable from the plate to your equipment might be best. Just... | |
| Lumin X1 dont see many virtual audiogon systems with this? The X1 is incredible sounding. We have one here paired with the Lumin AMP but it also sounds wonderful with other amps.Maybe the majority of people who have an X1 just aren't the type to post their systems online? | |
| Torture test for a TT rig! You've confirmed the vertical tracking force (VTF) is correct and the anti-skate is sufficient? It may have also been mechanical from when your speakers / subwoofer reproduced the cannons.I'm not sure how to interpret "clipping-like distortion" wh... | |
| Projector comparisons @karlbee a new thread would have probably made sense for your question, but the laptop's manufacturer provided specifications should indicate what resolution and refresh rates it supports over any HDMI video outputs it has. That's the only way to ... | |
| This forum is antiquated. I rarely go back into threads that have become long because it's too hard to jump exactly to where I was last reading. Multi-quote and quote features would be nice. As would better search functionality. | |
| Does a Tube Dac make sense? It makes sense if you like the way it sounds. You should really be asking (yourself) which of the different DACs you are considering will sound best to you. | |
| Best Bang for your Buck DAC ? @ngiordano at your price point I'd recommend the following options in addition to what others have suggested. Some are over $1000 but you may be able to find them below $1000 used. They all sound different from each other, so it will come down to ... | |
| 2 channel setup - Should I add a center channel or $1500 subwoofer? I'd recommend a center channel over the subwoofer if you're going to have more than one person watching movies/TV and if your main left and right speakers are far enough apart (i.e. your display is large, or you are sitting close to it) that the p... | |
| AV processor choice - Mac MX123 vs NAD M17 v2i I really like Dirac, but McIntosh and NAD are going to sound different so it will really have to be up to what you prefer. | |
| Ls50 wireless II vs separates with passive speakers @varchard you may also consider the Devialet Phantom series of speakers. They provide very good sound quality as a single all-in-one solution, look good too, and are water resistant / okay to touch. The smaller Phantom II units take up very little... | |
| Best blue ray player on market? For DVD and Blu-ray playback we're still using the OPPO UDP-203. For 4K Blu-ray we use a Panasonic DP-UB820 because of the HDR tone-mapping feature. | |
| 30 foot long Balanced Cables to Balanced/RCA Adapters into Amp's Stereo RCA inputs? @elliottbnewcombjr you may not notice any audible degradation with the CLEARBox Pro, which would be great. Give it a try. I have no idea what gear you are currently using. For what it's worth, the XLR <-> RCA conversion solution I ended up g... | |
| Music Server To Only Play FLAC Stored On Portable HDD @ryder in that case I think most devices will have at least some "bells and whistles" because it presents a better value proposition to customers.There are many products that will let you attach a portable hard disk to the USB input, and then outp... | |
| 30 foot long Balanced Cables to Balanced/RCA Adapters into Amp's Stereo RCA inputs? @elliottbnewcombjr that ART CLEANBox Pro you linked to will work but it will also introduce distortion.From the specs (read this from the perspective of what is introduced at a minimum):Frequency Response: 20Hz to 20kHz, +/-1 dBTotal Harmonic Dist... | |
| Music Server To Only Play FLAC Stored On Portable HDD A music server that needs to make the music available to other streaming devices (renderers) on your network? Or a device that outputs digital or analog audio directly to a single audio system? |
