| SOLVED: Room boom I had a similar issue and removing the OEM subwoofer footers for aftermarket was transformative. | |
| Adventures With Subwoofers With all due respect, if you asked an AI bot, "What is the weakest link in my system?" the answer would be the main speakers. The mains are rolling off at 45hz. That makes for a big ask to get subs to integrate seamlessly. With that in mind ... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo - Dealer Demo value You said that you think that the TT is priced too high. Keep in mind that some things are "for sale" and others are "on the market" There is a big difference and you know what it is -; It sounds like you want the TT so if it is actually for sal... | |
| Thoughts on DAC option You might consider a network filter. If placed before your streamer it can smooth thing out by reducing jitter. It did for me. Good luck. | |
| Suva and Gaia adapters the same The "adapters' are pretty universal. The threads that came in the Gaia box didn't fit my speakers. I contacted Iso Acoustic and they sent the proper ones no charge. Good cust. service. There is no reason you can't use one from the other brand... | |
| Streamer upgrade advice. To answer your question I would take a good look at Innuos and Aurender. They are superior streamers and will locally store the music that you own. Your budget should be able to get you into one of their entry models especially in the second han... | |
| Streamer upgrade advice. Sadly, it's time to move on from Apple. The most cost effective solution would be to get a streamer/server with some onboard storage. Relocate the music you own onto the new device then switch streaming services to Qobuz or Tidal. This should r... | |
| Has anyone heard the Bluesound Node Icon streamer DAC? I have heard it and it was quite pleasing for the money. I would add that it's a smart buy because if the future your can add a dedicated DAC and improve the sound even further and still have the Icon in your signal chain. Good luck and have fun. | |
| Room Treatment Help That size room can work well but it will present challenges. If you have the means, getting a professional diagnostic will be worth the investment. GIK or Vicoustic can do this for you. Wishing you good results. | |
| Recommendations for speakers in a much smaller listening room. This first thing that should be done is install bass traps. After doing so you will be amazed how many choices will work. Good luck and have fun! | |
| Speakers "Too Big" for room The design of the speakers can make a big difference. Sealed vs rear ported vs front ported. Some will tolerate being closer to room boundaries than others. Different speakers need varying amount of space to work. Good luck and have fun. | |
| Hegel 600 What is your budget, what music do you prefer, how loud do you play, what is the most important sonic attribute to you? | |
| Distortion from Audio Rack ?? Unfortunately, everything in your room will affect the sound your get. People go to great lengths to have as little between the speakers as possible. Stuff between the speakers can vibrate and will always act as sound boundaries and/or reflectio... | |
| How can different CAT5/6 cables affect sound. I don't pretend to understand the science. I was running an entry level Ethernet cable from my router to my streamer (about a 12' run) and just for fun decided to get a very high quality and much more expensive cable. I got a noticeable improvem... | |
| Streamer Options Needed Innuos just updated their line and introduced a new transport. The Innuos Stream1 is about $3k. I would take a hard look at that one. If you prefer a more smooth and "tuby" presentation check out the Aurender N150. You will be able to drive ei... |
