| Best Digital Interface I2S even though my PS Audio DirectStream Sr. (Sunlight) is input Agnostic (according to Ted Smith & my ears). He is correct but my ears find the USB a tad thin (It's Placebo effect IMHO) even he does all that funky USB cleanup inside the DAC.T... | |
| Open Baffle Opinions - I Won't go back to Boxed Speakers Evr Again (maybe....) I added a side panel (behind the baffle) on both Speakers facing inwards to each other with acoustical foam. 10° of toe in and the Phantom Center is back baby !It's not razor sharp but it's better than it was yesterday. The Treble is a bit subdued... | |
| Open Baffle Opinions - I Won't go back to Boxed Speakers Evr Again (maybe....) @pekri. My Wife would kill me but yes, I did read Nelson Pass' article a while ago. Interesting design and I'm sure it's a mindblower. | |
| Open Baffle Opinions - I Won't go back to Boxed Speakers Evr Again (maybe....) @jayfor Diffusers are next on my list. I have 6 sponge type absorptive panels at the 1st reflection points in the room, above the listening couch, and as you see in the pictures, placed in the corners like Bass Traps (which I know they are not). ... | |
| Open Baffle Opinions - I Won't go back to Boxed Speakers Evr Again (maybe....) Excellent comments from all of you once again.Here's my responses (so far) and thanks for the good advice :The side wing (a la NX-Otica's - Danny Richie - I watch his Video's too) idea is one I will try 1st and foremost. Makes sense and he gives a... | |
| Open Baffle Opinions - I Won't go back to Boxed Speakers Evr Again (maybe....) Great comments from you all (so far). Yes, I thought about using all miniDSP on all the Drivers and I have 3 Balanced version miniDSP 2x4’s that would do the job. The fact is, I’d like to utilize my PS Audio DirectStream DAC Sr. without adding ano... | |
| Please suggest a CD/streaming device for ~$2000 I agree with mahler123. Don't go for all that Innuos crap. They are just overpriced Desktop PC's IMHO.Buy a top shelf DAC with HDMI I2S and DSD capability, a Sony UBPX800 or Sony UBP-X1000ES and the HDMI to I@S HDMI Adapter box. Stay away from all... | |
| What audio aspect are you knowledgeable in? Digital is my Domain. SACD/DSD especially. But I find it very hard to educate people on what "good" Digital is compared to what they perceive based on what they've read in Stereophool or in the The Absolute Ass or some YouTube Video (Guilty as cha... | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? A friend came over and lent me his KEF R3's. We were listening via my PS Audio DSSr DAC (Windom), BAT VK50-SE Preamp, and Jolida 3502p Tube Amplifier.Then he asked to swap in my ICEpower 1000ASP Class D Audio Amplifiers fed from the BAT Preamp a... | |
| Are these streams being replaced... node 2i, and PS I'm feeding a Bluesound Node 2i into a PS Audio DirectStream DAC Sr. with Windom installed. I'm happy...that's all. | |
| Audio Companies with Integrity?? PS Audio - Good Products - Spectacular SupportI agree wholeheartedly about PS Audio. I also feel the same way about Jolida/Black Ice (USA). Mike & Jarred are a phone call away. Balance Audio Technology’s (BAT) Victor is also accommodating via ... | |
| Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs? While I love Tower Speakers. I have a soft spot for a pair of good quality (north of $1k) Bookshelf Speakers on Stands with Dual Stereo Subwoofers. Integrated properly, they will disappear into the room much easier IMHO.Price is also another cons... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? 36 Years of shows : here goes some of themOverall Best for me personally - Emerson, Lake, Powell 1986, Massey Hall, Toronto, Ontario. The night that changed my musical life forever. Band was firing on all 12 Cylinders that night and did 3 encores.... | |
| I expected more from my speakers (not high end) My friend @ johngaltwho, I’ve been in the same boat as you. I was all about 2 channel and then in 1999, I got a DVD Player and bought extra Speakers. For the next 18 years I focused on 5.1 Video & Audio with 2 channel + Dolby Pro Logic II. Now... | |
| 6000 dollars CD player Spend the 5 -6k on a DAC and spend only a few hundred on a transport plays everything including SACD's, DVD-Audio, Blu-Ray Audio only discs and has DSD compatible USB.Spending 5-6k on a CD player is foolish and money not well spent IMHO.https://fo... |
