| My experience with Sophia Electric Baby II Amplifier Resurrecting an older thread. I have the original Baby Sophia with all the caps upgraded and several sets of spare tubs, just took it out of storage after 10 years and it works perfectly fine. I used in the past in our home system driving highly ... | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring Already mentioned but still want to add my two cents.... From real world experience, not just what I read or watch on youtube.... I would dive deep into this and learn all you can first then look at not just wire but also the resistors as those... | |
| Cork room treatments It might be better in a particular bandwidth than the rest of the freq range. Perhaps you could get one order and place on the side walls on each side close to the speaker and see how it works that way. You could also temp glue onto something you ... | |
| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" 40 hz null pretty tough to deal with 90 hz peak, I would look into a trap(s) tuned for 90 hz Peaks are far worse to listen to than nulls and often easier to fix. | |
| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" Design, including how the space is built, solid, laid out well, etc do the best you can then work around the other uses of the space. This will determine where the speakers are going to be generally located so pretty easy to sort out where the mai... | |
| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" The environment is always the first thing to fix, better yet design, correctly and then use room treatments. Then it comes to placement of all the gear and furnishings, speaker placement most critical. If the above are truly optimized then there... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? First concert I attended, everyone sitting on the floor in the gym at WSU in Pullman WA where loaves of bread, bottles of wine and joints were freely passed around. Warm up was a one man band, Duster Bennett, very fun performance, then John May... | |
| Directional wires/cables I might of missed reading a post on this thread but wanted to put in my two cents, just in case:) I have made all my interconnects for around 40 years now. In the last 25+ I have only used Conare Star Quad which is dual twisted pair high grade... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS I just searched and watched some reviews on the Deshelli Dayzee with stock, Burson and then top model Sparkos op amps which cost approx $2k with those installed. One review compared it to three more expensive DACs from around $2.8 to $4k, Gustard... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS I have used very good R2R DACs, had an OPPO BD83 SE, then top of the line BD player with the best at the time ESS DAC chips, loved it for many years but now just not digging ESS chips. I find I prefer either an R2R which great ones can be found fo... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS Geshelli J2 has option of AKM 4493 or 4499, I was just on the site the other daylooking into it and again just now. The J3 has the AKM 4499 listed as the DAC, looking into that as well. I currently have a Topping V70 Velvet with the 4499E... | |
| Which inexpensive speaker cables... I have only used Canare L-4ES6 for interconnects, single ended and balanced, for at least 25 years now and even in my high end car audio comp builds from back then. I will have to give the 4S11 or 4S11G a try in our full time RV system as soon as ... | |
| John Mayall has passed away Very first concert I ever went to, around 16 years old (72 now), Washington State University, in a very small college town around 40 miles south of where I grew up, mostly. Warm up act, Duster Bennett, one man band, incredibly talented and entert... | |
| Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion. The absolute best it to hard wire everything, no cable ends or connectors, even wire the speaker lead directly to the speaker wires, just support them really well. Obviously this is not a good option for most and I do not do all of it though I mi... | |
| Battle of the Open Baffles Once I build something as a test bed for what I want to achieve, get it working, etc then I do many things like directly wired drivers, quality wire, quality xover parts as needed and work on time alignment. I plan to use high grade materials for ... |
