| Should I be able to hear a 4Hz difference in my speakers? The mani’s are a better speaker than either the Forest or hawk but they are the hardest to drive because of the isobaric woofer setup. I met Vince many times At different shows and he thought the same about the mani’s. Used you can get a pair of m... | |
| Should I be able to hear a 4Hz difference in my speakers? I used to own all Totem speakers for all my different rooms. The difference between the Forest and the Hawks were mainly In the lower frequency range, Forest produced a more full sound. But with every Totem speaker I had except for the Arros, you ... | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport A lot of open gaps to really know what happened here. 10 years ago I sold my Classe $3000 CD player which was rated very high because my ripped music sounded better. So if you are saying that a cheaper CD player sounds better, something doesn't ji... | |
| Looking for best streamer without DAC under $3500 Why do you need a streamer like Aurlaic or a Lumin? Any 1 of these streamers mentioned above are just computers with some proprietary software. A few years back, I used the typical setup, a dedicated Auralic Aries hooked up to my external dac usin... | |
| what's the point? Why are there posts like this? The “no difference in sound” group is over at ANA where all the other deaf people reside | |
| Are aftermarket power cords required to be UL / CE approved? Erichsch- you better check your info again. If you install a wood stove and don’t get it inspected for example, insurance won’t cover a fire that was caused by the wood stove. If you had an electrician put in a 14 gauge wire with a 20 amp breaker... | |
| A secondary system to enjoy. I have 5 secondary systems and have multiple pairs of speakers for sale because I curtailed building other systems. I use usher s520’s with a ps audio sprout 100 integrated and it sounds very nice for an office. I have other rooms with Peachtree w... | |
| Visiting audio stores? Gpgr4blu-get your facts right. Trump halted travel to China months ago and the left crucified him. Then he stopped travel to Europe and got crucified from the left. A leftist like Biden or Bernie would have never stopped travel nor closed the bord... | |
| Cassettes still rock! Cassettes didn’t sound that great 30 years ago either. At the time, I had a teac reel 2 reel tape deck and the teac blew away my akai glass head cassette deck, which I liked better than the nakamichi deck at the time.i also have to say that r2r ta... | |
| Speaker recommendations 10 to 30k and no beryllium Revel Salon 2 or Studio 2, Usher x-tower or BE-10 or BE-20 | |
| Just another Orange fuse thread George, you should be associated with those other sites that bash cables/fuses/practically any tweak that cost more than $5. Again, you comment about “snake oil fuses” is absurd, it’s your opinion, and a weak 1 at that. I know people with very nic... | |
| Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced? You better have a warm sounding amp/preamp. There is a reason why they formed a relationship with Classe. | |
| Streamer v DAC - which is more important? The biggest flaw in any setup is using usb for a number of reasons:usb is flawed and that’s why you see many many tweaks/gadgets to try to make it better;if you use usb/toslink/coax, then it requires you to place the computer (streamers are just a... | |
| Should I sell my DAC The dac in the oppo isn’t that good. If you have a $2000 budget, you will definitely hear a big improvement in SQ. Also, you can get a much better dac by spending $4000 and then get a much better dac by spending $7000. I like my $7000 dac more tha... | |
| Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect? Why not put the speakers on the 14’ wall and use the 1/3 speaker position which is placing the front of the speaker 7’ from the back wall and put your chair 7’ from the walk behind the chair.i actually have the same room length as you but a couple... |
