| New set up in asymmetrical room - speaker placement etc Millercarbon - thanks for the decware link. Interesting paper, but mainly tuned to high volume listening - ? I mean, if you have a fairly large room, and / or turn the volume down, second and third etc reflection points will mean less, won't it?In... | |
| Has Anyone Ever Run TWO Identical Pairs of Speakers ? Re: Bose 901I’d like to nuance the Bose 901 evaluation in this thread - intrigued also by the ’super bose’ system described above by g_nakamoto . I used 901 mk 2 in the 70s and 80s. Were they bad? Well, in some respects, not others. I eventually c... | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? Again, thanks, to @dekay and @danager especially, with suggestions closer to what I ask for. The Arche seems like a single driver with a bit of bass port innovation, somewhat like in my current Sonys. The Decware tiny radials, and the Betsy, is up... | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? Thank you @soix and @russ69 - I will check out your suggestions! | |
| What is the most important component to consider while building a new system? I am mainly in "the source" camp, but also a strong believer in system/room integration, which has to do with the speakers/amps match as well as the room. I also agree with priority to good electricity. If I could design a sound room and system to... | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? Lptocd - yes, active speakers is one way to go. Not always, though. I did an experiment the other day. The 'master' speaker of my Elac AM 50 no longer drives the 'slave' speaker. I wondered if the slave was broken, and connected it to my main amp... | |

| TEAC NT-505 FUNCTIONAL REVIEW If you use Minimserver and it shows up as Offline, check the firewall on your home network server. In my case, Windows Defender had switched my home network from 'private' to 'public', meaning that I could no longer access my Minimserver music lib... | |
| Near field monitor advice please You could investigate single driver speakers and connect them to an OTL amp. Get rid of two problems - the speaker crossover and the amp transformer. It won't be perfect but it might get you closer to happy nearfield listening. In my experience yo... | |
| Are there speakers with cloth/soft enclosures instead of wood? So - speaker in free air = one hand clapping? On the other hand (!) a box is a problem too? Sorry. Home too long. On the same note, why wood? Why not granite, cement or something super-stable? I remember when that was the fad. | |
| TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please? @love_that_sound - my DSD rips sound much better on the Teac than on my former setup (Logitech Touch as streamer, Tascam DA-3000 as dac). I like my recordings from vinyl better than Tidal master/mqa. Then again, the vinyl played direct sounds e... | |
| TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please? Working fine, for me, with the version I got in October. No problems connecting through ethernet, playing DSD files from my network server, Tidal Mqa, etc. Headphone and USB connections work ok. Lumin - ok. Since it fullfills its promise, my atten... | |
| TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please? Thanks - it works fine now. | |

| Preamp recommendation I was lucky to find a used Einstein The tube mk2 for less than 40 percent of the list price in an audio forum, here in Norway. I mostly agree with the glowing review by Fremer in Stereophile - this preamp sounds like nothing, like a good preamp sh... |
