| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ Just wanted to report back on what I've experienced.Crimony!Better focus and a loss of smear I didn't think I had. I'm able to hear deeper into the recordings. And all of this from a wool blanket draped over my widescreen TV and stand, which then ... | |
| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ Lloydc,Thanks for the tip re: quilt over the TV set. I was told that putting a diffuser panel in front of my TV would make a world of difference but never got around to purchasing one as it would have to be about 4' sq. to cover the TV and stand.T... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Bryon,Your 'pigtails' have been used by others here in different forms. Anything from a homemade wire type collector to various retail products that claim to have a beneficial effect. I use a Dakiom device in the same manner. I don't believe it is... | |
| Equipment you just must get if you can Forget what I said earlier. Now that I have the Schiit Bifrost, I have no need for a bass augmenter. And the same goes for the Yamaha A-S2000 for the very same reasons. Quite the DAC, that Bifrost.What I'd like to have, instead, is the Mola Mola p... | |
| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ Great to hear your response to what I've been advised to do for quite some time now. Emotional connections made from music go very deep. Maybe it's time now for me to buy some Kleenex. | |
| Thin Walled Speakers -Tonian, Musical Affairs, etc Cluxa,Nicely put. I recall reading a review of the Tonian Tl-D1s and the reviewer went on to say that although it may not be accurate, it was very convincing which made it so enjoyable to listen to. It kind of mirrors what you say about them. I st... | |
| Does the Quality of the USB cable matter? There's been so much discussion about 'it being only 1s and 0s' here and on other sites. It's true if all you're doing is faxing a document or printing a photo but music is much more complicated, not to mention the many and varied platforms that i... | |
| Thin Walled Speakers -Tonian, Musical Affairs, etc It would be impossible to do as you suggest but I bet that's not what the designer was aiming for. The same can be said for very inert cabinets since they, too, cannot cover all the bases. And they don't. Otherwise there would be a formula, of sor... | |
| Best DAC for $500 Schiit Bifrost+1I've only tried a couple of DACs in my system but after inserting the Bifrost, my room felt crowded. I never thought I'd use that word to describe a product but there it is.Every player had equal billing. Prominence on the right an... | |
| Does the Quality of the USB cable matter? You will get different responses from different camps on whether cables make any difference. I hear a difference in USB cables. It's not as dramatic as other types of cables but it's enough, for me, to justify the extra cost.I, too, use a 5 meter ... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Fascinating.I always thought that it was a theory but as long ago as 1919 there was proof that light does bend due to strong gravitational forces. I need a new rock to live under. One with a better view. | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Bryon,I just had to mention that I now understand, anew, and appreciate your "those who confuse the Obscure with the Profound" mini treatise. It ties up lots of theories (conspiratorial and the like) that permeate our lives. And I do believe it is... | |
| cable burning Maybe the resistor wasn't properly reattached? Something missed in addition to the resistor? Hard to say as this is way over my pay grade. | |
| Audiophile Truth 26 For snake oil to work there's usually a happy customer (shill) harking the benefits in front of a crowd. The shill is always in on the act. Are we to say that people who have tried it and agree that there is a positive effect are in on it? Or that... | |
| Start PC music Server from Scratch I agree that the Centrance DACmini is great.I have one. But I moved it back to my computer desk top rig to play through my Audioengine A2s after I got the Schiit Bifrost DAC. The Bifrost is a better DAC: bigger soundstage, deeper bass, better arti... |
