| Axpona 2023 I’d like to read impressions regarding Carver also. Did anyone get there and see/hear the RAM 285? Did they have any other “new gear” on display? thanks. | |
| Tidal Adopting Hi-Res FLAC The jpeg2000 lossless of audio? Lol.. (wavelet streaming) the longer you wait for download, the more parts are “filled in”…and image in background keeps getting updated, so refreshing foreground image gives progressively higher resolution. Wo... | |
| What is the most challenging music to play on a stereo? Iron maiden. Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, at full volume pushing to and maybe right up to over over 110db.. | |
| Adding a Dac and Stresmer Pulse mini streamer. R2R ladder DAC for tracks with mainly analog instruments. But techno stuff, ie, electronic drums, synths and stuff seems to me to sound better on a delta sigma. Also, my delta sigma has more…. Options on the menu that can m... | |
| Tidal class-action tl:dr artists and studios should start selling tiered levels of tracks based on more realistic pricing with bulk discounts. Stream lossy, buy hires. Streaming hires just uses too much bandwidth. Tie tracks to key pair scheme and reissue keys f... | |
| Interesting Read From a Recording Engineer about EQ Don’t know what the deal with Iron Maiden is? my current system loves Iron Maiden.. every single instrument.. ;-) | |
| Recommendation for sub with high level inputs Tekton. Just hooked up my lowest tier 2-10s (pair of em) and .. wow. You can get 2/4/6- 10.. 2x10 is equivalent to 14”, but smaller, lighter faster. With integrated 300w amp. On high level ins for right now waiting on some cables. seriously... | |
| Magnepan 3.5r Owners needed.... No bass How far would you from the side walls? I have absorbers at 90deg off axis from the tektons and some high directly forward and on axis directly behind. I find this to have cut down on much of the “bouncing around” that I had. Do the magnepans b... | |
| Magnepan 3.5r Owners needed.... No bass Underwood HIFI has an Emerald Physics page that says “new models in late March 2023” Emailed for an update. Still, any magnepan owners out there who could chime in on minimum level model to handle 900watts/channel, without blowing up or distorti... | |
| Magnepan 3.5r Owners needed.... No bass I actually have the sublimes. I like the fact that changing the crossover points is just swapping an inexpensive board, so experimenting isn’t going to break the bank (like tube rolling.. 40 tubes…..) the outs go to 2 tekton 2-10 subs, mids and... | |
| Gustard R26 Enjoying my r26(stock) recently paired with inuos pulse mini for streaming. Sounds better for most everything, but still like the delta sigma sound for certain types of music. And now that I have the pulse mini, it os easy to switch between th... | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? Pair of Carver Silver Seven 900.. for waaaay less than $32,000. With all new KT-120s. | |
| Streamers? All fixed. Playing full mqa and qobuz. switching between the dacs is easy enough is easy. so far, knock on wood, the stop/start track issue has not come back. I did try the builtin dac of the inuous. Just not my cuppa. So far, I am enjoying th... | |
| Bose 901 VI flat? The 901 Series VI was never much for bass imho. They sound absolutely great though as mid/highs with anything lower than ~500 hz is removed from their signal. Though I AM a bit of an uncouth barbarian.... I use the heck out of a separate eq also... |
