| How Long Is Too Long? @ jasonbourne71, No, I don't have to pay for the repairs. That's good I guess but the question now is, is it worth it? I've been casually looking at used phono pre's on this site and USAudiomart as I may just write it off as a loss until I ge... | |
| Added A Second Subwoofer To System I’ve tried some of the suggestions with not much change. I guess that’s just how it is or I am losing my hearing which wouldn’t surprise me. I’m happy with the bass and that’s what getting a second sub and putting them in the best position was all... | |
| Added A Second Subwoofer To System First off, thanks for all the responses, suggestions and advice. I really like the way the bass sounds with the two subs as opposed to just one. I also like how the bass sounds with the subs mid-way up the side walls as opposed to the corner pla... | |
| Added A Second Subwoofer To System musicality, Yes, I'm running my Lumina III's full range. My subs crossovers are set just below 60hz. I'll try setting the subs lower and bringing up the volume as you suggested. Thanks for the response. | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl I get these Weekly Recaps in my email every Friday. I don't contribute much to the forum but read it quite a bit for some of the good to great info that can be found here. I don't think I made it through the entire OP before I realized it was sa... | |
| Audio nonsense Hate to show my audiophile ignorance djones51 but I don't even know what that graph is or how to read it. Care to explain. | |
| Audio nonsense @ perkri Not trying to dismiss your challenge but what are we to learn from this? Keep in mind, I’ve only gone by using my ears when setting up my system and never really measured anything using a mic and laptop. But, I’m up for trying anything ... | |
| Audio nonsense I think most of us know the sound of our systems and notice changes when something is changed in the system for better or worse. That said, my system sounds different to me depending on the time of day (cleaner power coming in from the grid?) ... | |
| Audio nonsense I don't post much here and don't really care how much money people choose to spend on their systems. I'm now at the age where I just want to listen to good sounding music as much as I can without fussing too much over my gear. Some things I ju... | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It Paul Creed,I have the Rme input going into the Preamp using rca's. I don't have a an extra pair of balanced cables so I have to wait to try the balanced outputs of the rme when a get dome cables. I mentioned that my preamp has two gain settings 1... | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It @ romanesq My unit uses the AKM chip and I'm not using the USB input as of present. Will the firmware update affect my unit the way I'm presently using it? | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It I'm not sure I understand the Auto Ref function vs. using the manual setting. How do I identify if my preamp is overloading? | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It @oddiofyl Interesting thought on the gain setting. I’m pretty sure it is set to auto and the display is currently showing +1 dB. I will double check of course. Will that change depending on the volume?When using the DAC, I set my preamp volume t... | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It @ audiosaurusrex I haven't given up on the RME yet. There's been lots of good advice given here by some good posters. Tomorrow I'll try the balanced outputs directly to my power amp. | |
| RME ADI-2 fs DAC: Not Loving It I listened yesterday after changing the filter from Sharp to NOS. It was so close between the RME and Peachtree I couldn't really discern a difference between the two. The RME did sound better to me using the NOS filter than Sharp though. I'm g... |
