| Polyfill placement question in monitor speakers. Thank you MijostynThis is helpful! But did you mean decreases the size of the enclosure? From my limited understanding the mass of the batting subtracts from the void of the enclosure... the more fill added the less air there is in the space.I kno... | |
| Polyfill placement question in monitor speakers. I'm pretty sure this is Acousta-Stuff (how does one know?) unless they didn't make that in 1987.These are pretty brilliant speakers. I'm probably not going to go the route of making obtuse changes.I'd still like to find more about how/where this w... | |
| how does the Hana LOMC cartridge sound at 100 ohms? I have the Hana EL MC cartridge and my head amp (ARC MCP-1) only does 110 ohms.It sounds fantastic.I started a discussion on this a while back and got some very valuable feedback...https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/input-impedance-load-on-a-c... | |
| Soundsmith Aida vs Hana sh There is no Hana HL. The models are:SH - Shibata highEH - Eliptical highSL - Shibata lowEL - Eliptical low | |
| Morrison 1.8 speaker. Anybody knows how to connect them to the amp ? 5 binding posts! | |
| Mixing speaker cables on bi-wired speakers I've seen mismatched biwire/biamp situations work with Magnepan speakers.With most time/phase coherent speakers it generally does not work well.I tried a cable mismatch on Vandersteen 2c speakers and the results were flat. I invested in bi-wire (i... | |
| 'Quietest place on Earth' anechoic chamber I’ve been in that very room. I sat inside of it with the lights out for about 30 mins.Sounds in your body; breathing, pulse, etc are amplified or at least isolated so that you can hear them clearer. It shows you exactly how much reflected sound pl... | |
| Going from Bi wire to Single wire FWIW I have 2 sets of cables that I keep and swap out from time to time. One is an internal bi-wire configuration and the other is a different brand of hi-end cable with single terminations. I use jumpers for those.They both sound very different. ... | |
| Going from Bi wire to Single wire I think there are some that think soldering is a better connection than terminated wire connections and binding posts.Seems a bit extreme for minimal effect and also inconvenient. | |

| input impedance load on a cartridge. @atmasphere Yes, thank you. That sums it up very nicely. | |
| Vandersteen fans..need your input (TREO CT) I have a vastly different system than yours (but with Vandersteen 2c’s). I was having a lot of gain issues in my room (too loud too fast) and there was an inability to play well at moderate or low levels.I added power treatment and upgraded my AC.... | |
| input impedance load on a cartridge. That's a preferable option =)But just to fill my understanding of what is happening here - why match the recommended load if you have the ability and if you don't, what if anything is missing? | |
| input impedance load on a cartridge. This is great advice.The cart is a Hana EL which has a manufacturer suggested load impedance of >400ohm. My MCP-1 would be giving it 110 ohm.Negligable or... important?What would this actually do?Only reason I’m fussing is because buying and re... | |
| Tidal Masters post possibly hundreds of Universal Music Group titles The M is for Master quality tracks. You need a DAC that can process MQA files in order to take advantage of that feature from what I understand.The buffering is the app negotiating with your internet connection. If you can adjust your router/modem... |
