| Positioning B&W 802’s with spikes in hardwood? Yeah was hoping their was a simpler solution! How do other people manage this? Surely not everyone gets a transmission Jack to spike their large speakers with precision! | |
| Sound quality of Roon @grannyring @oldschool1948 , I think I am the ONLY person who has said they prefer Roon on an Innuos product to Sense, in terms of sound quality. I have a fully updated Zenith Mk 3. To me Sense sounds slightly too bloated or “filled-in” to me,... | |
| Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW @carey1110 I have a rather large room as well, and I auditioned the Sasha DAW's at my dealer (with my Gryphon Diablo 300 amp and my Nordost Valhalla 2 speaker cables and my Audioquest Dragon power cords). I liked the Sasha DAW's better than any ot... | |
| Sonus Faber speakers - what's your experience? @craig , for what it’s worth, the salesman told me that near 100% of their clients who listen to jazz and classical choose Sonus Faber above the other brands they sell. | |
| Sonus Faber speakers - what's your experience? I auditioned Sonus Faber Amati’s with my Gryphon Diablo 300 at a dealer’s showroom. I compared them against B&W 801 D4 (loads of bass and upper ranges too thin), Magico A5 (very thin bass and sounded like a speaker and not musical), Audiovecto... | |
| Speaker Placement and Toe-In I too find I prefer slight toe-in. As @ozzy found I found that the soundstage becomes flat when the tweeters are pointing directly at me. Some speaker mfr’s recommended having the tweeters line of fire cross about 2-3 ft behind the listening posit... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? My integrated can't play in "mono mode" as far as I can tell. Will try to search for "mono" material to stream; good idea. Will try that and the mono test tones / frequency sweep tonight. Pretty sure I have found the culprit by now - I can't fa... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? No need to apologize @theaudiomaniac; just glad for some help. So I only got to #2 on my list of tests tonight (testing with my 25 year old Arcam CD player as the input instead of the internal DAC) but I may have made a breakthrough of sorts. Fi... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? Yes, for tonight I plan to: 1) Try my old Clarus Crimson Biwire cables which I’ve not sold yet. More out of curiosity as they are less resolving than the Valhalla 2’s (but very good still), so I may or may not hear the issue with these cables 2)... | |
| Best Type of Interconnect for Turntable? Hi, I’m considering a VPI Prime Signature TT. Possibly with a Lyra cartridge by not sure. My amp’s phono card is only tied to RCA input 5. There are two true balanced inputs on my amp but these cannot be tied to the phono card. Thanks for the ... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? @theaudiomaniac , I swapped the cables at the amp end (only) and the problem changes from the right side being too soft in the upper mids and into the treble, to the left side being too soft in these frequencies. This leads me to believe it’s not ... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? @theaudiomaniac I think you might be right, in terms of AC voltage output being close enough. That said, there is a 1.2% variance at 5,000Hz, and close to a 1% variance around this frequency. While small, wouldn’t that be audible @djones51 , I t... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? Okay, I tried testing a series of frequency tones without any load / speakers. The voltage of the right channel seems to be slightly higher than the left channel, when playing tones from 800Hz or so through to 12,000 Hz. The difference in voltage ... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? I did a quick test with my multimeter and will need to re-try the test tomorrow. Unfortunately I don't have the house to myself and people are sleeping! I do need to have my speakers connected to do this test right? I did find that the right si... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? Found the test tone on Tidal. Will try the multimeter test shortly… |
