| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? PS Audio DirectStream DAC Sr. As others have said. I no longer yearn for Vinyl ! | |
| What are the current useless terms in this "audio world" It's F'in Great, It sounds Pretty F'in Good. It sounds like Shxxt. It's F'in Awesome !Those are my Audiophile terms and I use them regularly with friends and on YouTube. | |
| El34 = KT88 = KT120 My Jolida 3502p runs KT150's. The original KT88's were never used and I sold them to a happy Customer. Love the sound they make in conjuction with my BAT VK50-SE with it's eight 6H30 Russian "Super Tubes". | |
| Do any of you kids , want your system ??? My Son just wants the Resto Modded 1968 901's. Problem is he doesn't understand the complexity of the miniDSP EQ, which Amplifier I used to drive them, and how the Bluesound Node 2i streams into everything.My Wife will sell everything and probably... | |
| Open Baffle Opinions - I Won't go back to Boxed Speakers Evr Again (maybe....) @coltrane1 That's so cool. My woodworking chops ain't the greatest but all my DIY Speakers have always had a DIY look and feel to them. Not by choice. I am not a Carpenter (but I wish). Here the rear wall Diffuser just completed and hung today. Tw... | |
| Open Baffle Opinions - I Won't go back to Boxed Speakers Evr Again (maybe....) @quadprod :You make some excellent suggestions regarding using active X-overs and Finite Impulse Response Filtet also can more precisely help with some of my issues.But as I’ve stated earlier, I don’t want to feed the Analog output of DAC into ano... | |
| Open Baffle Opinions - I Won't go back to Boxed Speakers Evr Again (maybe....) Again, my Wife will kill me if I DIY’d 3 PVC pipes taller than the Speakers and placed one in the middle of my room (see pic link on my original post).I am building some calculated Diffusers from 2x2’s cut to specific lengths using QRdude and chos... | |
| thoughts on the bose 501 speakers I have Series 1 and 2 901's that I bought used for my 5.1 setup. I think they were and still are their finest product next to their Noise Cancelling Headphones.I heard a pair of 501's at my Dad's friend's place once when I was a kid. Great for cas... | |
| Hi end audio equip sounds better today than in decades past due to tech - T/F YES ! Down with Vinyl...LOL ! Give me Digital DSD/PCM all day and you won't take it "from my cold dead hands". Seriously though who'd a thunk Apple and a white box the size of a pack of smokes would revolutionize/degrade/wake up how we listen to m... | |
| 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... |
