| The Most "Analog" CD Player? Well they're wayyyy more compact than 1920's WE/Vitaphone picture discs | |
| Downmix Dilemmas I disagree with MC. Streaming as a source isn't as good a Blu Ray, (see other posts I have made today) but the gap isn't that far. We're watching talkies, that's the problem. If there's no live organ, is it really a movie? | |
| Downmix Dilemmas This is nothing to do with down mixing. You’re streaming. Forget the mix. That is a distraction. Find a better source.I really do miss the video store experience, and ultimately I’m watching to see new content. Of the four productions I was a cost... | |
| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? I love my Tidal, but also really love listening to my physical CDs and SACDs.-Tidal, Spotify, Qobuz, are not comprehensive catalogues. I have plenty of physical discs that just aren’t on them. Every time we undergo a format conversion, it’s never ... | |
| Zu Druid V passive subwoofer augmentation Hey Erik,im still working this room, as well as the Zu Druid gap height. Their response becomes much more linear when they are near-sealed, a minimal gap height. I was going through different sweeps in REW with my UMik and well, it’s a mess. This ... | |
| Zu Druid V passive subwoofer augmentation Hey Erik, great reads. parallel is very doable, my amplifier has two speaker terminals.As for improving in room bass response, I can work on that. I currently have a healthy amount of absorption. As mentioned, my projector screen is a giant baffle... | |
| Zu Druid V passive subwoofer augmentation oh hi DeKay. interesting, thank you! I was thinking this would be a process of measurement and refinement, and having a phase dial or separate amplifier might help me in the long run. | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) Mathias,Not dissimilar from you, I have an 11x18’ room with 9’ ceilings, and a wife to keep happy. The aesthetics are very important to both of us.We have Zu Druids. Mark V, bought new in 2015 for 7k. I believe the nee revision extends lower and i... | |
| Looking for speaker ideas. if you’re looking for loud dynamism, whatever you end up with should be as far away from the walls as possible . Your room is treated as you said... But I’ve heard $550 floating vanatoos sound better than 60k vandersteens backed into corners.@gdnr... | |
| Speaker upgrade... This may be a captain obvious moment... If you feel like your sound is short of what you want it to be, have you tried a RTA with measurement mic? Minidsp sells cheap mics and I'm using Onyx RTA for my iPhone with the camera adapter to hook up the... | |
| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? Second the mentions of Klipsch and JBL. I have L100's and I can best describe them as "danceable." Prices seem to have taken a dip in recent months. Given that so many old rock tunes from the 70s were mastered on them, they make it sound so true.i... | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? Second the Kii 3's. They were one of my favorites at NYAS, I am afraid to say I enjoyed them more than Harbeth MK40.2's... The technology in the Kii's makes them a good deal.Are you going small because your room is small? Or are you trying to avoi... | |
| Yamaha? Welcome back! My CA-2010 is right at home with my Druids in Class A mode. https://instagram.com/p/_s2vsdiRic/ For those counting, that’s 30 watts of FET Class A into 8 ohms (so theoretically 15 watts for a 16 ohm person like me). I’m usually using a single watt... |
