| Speakers for Computer There are a lot of DAC/digital to analog converters with USB inputs that can connect to the USB port on your computer without having to concern yourself with a sound card. There are also a lot of devices with the DAC and the speaker amplifier in t... | |
| What audio expos are worth going to? I used to go to Axpona annually until they moved it out of Rosemont. JD Events does an excellent job producing it. I also used to go to RMAF, but found the Marriott hotel was not made for audio shows ;). I think they have moved it. Both definitely... | |
| High Quality dac with network streamer saves $1,000s Sorry for any confusion. My M3 has the Ethernet connection. Aes with my cdp sounds better than it as described with what I have on hand. Maybe I will try a switch as an experiment. Thank you. | |
| High Quality dac with network streamer saves $1,000s I bought an M3 with the idea of the built in renderer saving money as well but have yet to purchase a server. Hooking up my iMac with Audirvana by way of generic ethernet cable and wifi with two different routers has led my to conclude sound quali... | |
| Corner problem? RE: Rippling cones The final resting spot for one of my subs is inches away from my turntable. Using REW to generate a sine wave at the problem room resonance mode frequency, I found a null by walking around with a decibel meter to where I will move my turntable. Th... | |
| Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2021 "Bruce's Bar In Severance Colorado"Wow. I was regularly there as a kid. My dad and I were friends with Bruce, Dennis and Linda...RMAF is good. Glad it has moved on from the Marriott, though. | |
| Long hiatus from audio, getting back into it, speaker/room help please I live in the Dallas area. Audio Concepts salesmen are nice, professional people and sell Magnepan along with other big names. | |
| Help with Shortlist of Speakers! (SF vs Devore vs Others?) My opinion is that SS amplification the broadly antithetical to the orangutan line. I heard them with NAIM and it sounded like disappointment. Much prefer SF with your current gear. Looking at pictures and hearing in person are very different thin... | |
| Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia I remember shamefully being relieved my Boxster was built in Germany (by real Germans!) instead of Finland. Super nuts, but oh well. | |
| Lack of Lamm customer service? You may be getting ahead of yourself. I have always had good repair experiences with Lamm with reasonable turnaround time. | |
| Why are equipment racks so expensive? While the Lack is a very good shelf for next to nothing, Finite Elemente and SRA racks (examples I own) are better sounding and better pieces of furniture. I am not sure of the cost question. One is designed to be ultra cheap and mass manufacturer... | |
| How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)? The ATC SCM40s have low frequency extension as good as any three-way speaker of their size and better quality bass than than nearly all at that price point. I know that model. The specifications ATC provides is a bit misleading because their speak... | |
| Do you care about car audio? I was in high school during the pinnacle of aftermarket car audio and enjoyed it. Now auto manufactures have made that less accessible with the computer integration and their options are generally lackluster. I do not do aftermarket because I do n... | |
| Holographic Soundstage ? Along with a few others' posts I really suspect your speakers are underpowered with the Raven. Loss of bass and scale is what happens with underpowered speakers. Wharfedale recommends 100-600 watts. Further, watts-sensivity-listening distance calc... | |
