| Cable Break In for the Naysayers I also believe, not know, that once past a certain point, break in, design, cost....the law of diminishing returns hits pretty hard, mostly what we start getting into is differences and those can be quite profound and enable that synergy so often ... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers Anyone who thinks if cannot be a possibility if it cannot be measured has a bit of a head in the sand(or a darker place)issue as we have barely begun to even design test gear capable of such measurements, let alone fully understand some of the mos... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers Those who claim absolutes seem rather narrow minded and ignore real science as it actually has shown us many things and will continue to do so. As as touched upon by another poster all there is is a lot of energy and maybe just a tiny bit of mass ... | |
| Sub $1000 DAC with AKM chip I am a big fan of AKM and R2R DACs, my current DAC is the Topping E70 Velvet which uses two of the top line AKM chips and is a bit between the higher end ESS and most other in AKM DACs in a bit more I guess I could say lively sounding. I like horn... | |
| Speaker Cables : Moderate priced Life long DIYer, been running nothing but Canare interconnects for around 25 years and never bother with anything else, cheap to build, sound superb in mobile and home audio, single ended and balanced. I have never tried their speaker cables, just... | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? Partners, equal, you have the right to have some great speakers, make that plain and to the point of not in contention. Then offer to let her help you pick them out, emphasis on help. If she refuses to work this out then you are already on a slipp... | |
| Air conditioning for audiophiles. Got a bit of a buzz on right now so maybe not posting my best.... This is a great thread, thanks OP, my comments might not pertain to most here but some great posts have been made, good topic:) Rick | |
| Air conditioning for audiophiles. I am into 8+ years full time RV and noise from the AC was not bad on moderate days, only 90+ when I had to run both units but the energy used was huge. I installed a small window unit Evap cooler, into a wall and setup for easy removal for the wi... | |
| horn or line array? I have plenty of good drivers to build some test sealed or ported box speakers, subs, etc and doing a lot of room treatment and DIY cables. I wired two separate dedicated and fully shielded AC lines and moved the breakers around to put all the noi... | |
| horn or line array? Horns! Always my all time favorite even in car audio which I have done quite successfully a couple of times. Currently remodeling our full time RV, added 1.5 ft to the length for more room for the system. I will test my beloved and highly modifie... | |
| McIntosh and Wilson? RV audio system, glad I am not the only one to take this seriously:) I will post a pic or two when I setup a place to host it. Nice comment, I guess not everyone knows how to turn off the AC;) I am actually surprised to see a none ducted AC system in such a high end RV as others in the same brand have them. I sup... | |
| Gordon Lightfoot, Canadian folk legend, dead at 84 Always loved his music, saw him twice in the 70's at the Spokane Opera House, a good venue. Second time it was the second show of the evening and he looked very tired and things were just not flowing well. Somebody started singing happy birthday t... | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? First "Audiophile" interconnects taught to me by Stan Warren (the S of PS Audio in the early 80's) at their facility. Three gauges of magnet wire(motor or coil winding wire) in something like 2/2/3 strands, wish I could remember exactly, braided a... | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? Forgot these! Directly from Bruce, got to know him quite well. Edgarhorn Slimline with upgraded huge oil filled caps and higher end Foxtex tweeters, demo set so needed recovered, $800 shipped. Still have them though not likely to work well going ... | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? Too much work to recall it all but a few stand out. Early 80's, ADS aluminum cabinet mini car audio speakers, $8. They felt way to heavy, opened them up, filled with sand! Cleaned them out, upgraded caps and resistors, offered $500 for them a wee... |
