| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? I believe direct digital amps are the future. With regular class D you need a DAC and maybe a preamp. Direct digital amps are not only simpler but purer sounding. The modified Peachtree GaN 1 is incredible. Best sound I have heard.....and cheap. M... | |
| Major innovative break through: The new NSMT Loudspeakers reference speaker The technology is very valid here. Same as what Dunlavy was doing 30 years ago. Time Aligned.....6 db per octave crossover with very little parts (so reasonably in phase).....and very good drivers. I am sure they sound as described. However, a... | |
| Major innovative break through: The new NSMT Loudspeakers reference speaker NSMT2 For even better sound I recommend changing your coil to a 12 gauge copper wax foil coil from Jantzen (go into the inside of the coil and out the outside)....also bypass your cap with a small value teflon Vcap (make sure both caps are in the... | |
| Active Speakers - Anything new coming? Build your own.....you have control over the sound not available in anything mentioned above.....serious high end sound for pennies.....obviously, not a small speaker (16 inches wide) and could be very tall if you do a long line source. And also n... | |
| DSP Active Crossover I don't understand how you were using a Tact for bi-amping. Does it have analog line level outs? Or is this a digital out for subs? Or two sets of digital outs? And how were you using the SHD? Analog outs or digital outs? And if you are usin... | |
| DSP Active Crossover mijostyn, Did you A/B the minidsp SHD with the latest DEQX in the same system using all the same gear at the same time? "clearly the best" can only be known by serious listening tests. If you did do a serious A/B.....what were the sonic difference... | |
| DSP Active Crossover The minidsp SHD (2 way digital xover) uses an ESS 9028 DAC chip......pretty good. The Audiophile Junkie (see his Youtube channel) uses this Minidsp SHD in his super system. I posted this on a couple of other threads.....but I cannot stop talking a... | |
| Best set-up under $20K Save your money.....this rocks: http://tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/DIY_Bi-amped_super_speaker.html 30 hz flat.....bi-amped....super transparent....plays LOUD....super inexpensive......Costs what a great power cord costs. Will blow your mind. | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. Here is my latest thinking on a diy super duper speaker using planars and woofs http://tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/DIY_Bi-amped_super_speaker.html Bi-amped, eqed, flat to 30hz...Super transparent and inexpensive. | |
| PS Audio Aspen FR20: Planar Floorstanding Speakers I forgot to mention you cross over the two woofs to the planars around 3-400 cycles......start with 24 db per octave slopes. | |
| PS Audio Aspen FR20: Planar Floorstanding Speakers You can do much better for way less. My last DIY speaker used the same mid and high drivers PS Audio uses....but I used them on an open baffle with much better parts and no padding.....way, way better. However, those particular B&G drivers are... | |
| As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. What do you mean "if you get the filters right" Using a DSP is easy....a 10 year old can do it. You decide what slope you want and what frequency (I would start with 400hz and 24db per octave with the mentioned drivers) and then you measure the ... | |
| As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. My friend has the Lii Audio silver 10s ($1200 the pair) and he says they measure and sound very flat (no lowther shout). You need to seriously burn these drivers in and you CANNOT listen to their binding posts.....remove the binding posts and hard... | |
| DSP Active Crossover Minidsp Flex's are way better than you think. You can use two 4 channel out ones ($500 each) in parallel and get 8 analog channels out with both digital and analog inputs.....I read that these newer units are using Burr Brown PCM1795 DAC chips..... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? For $4000 or less you can have a whole DAC/volume control/amp/speaker/wires system that will be in a whole nuther level way above a stock inexpensive magneplanar driven by very good DAC and Preamp and amp. Minidsp Flex $500, Fossi amp for bass $1... |
