| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? In my small room I use Totem Arro's + a Storm Sub. Regardless of which speakers you get, If you don't have bass down to 40Hz, you should get a sub. The Storm has a built in crossover so I can let the Storm handle the really low frequencies and the... | |
| Totem Arro or Sttaf or Hawk?? I can support what Paraneer and Czarivey have said,My room is about the same size and I use Arro's with a Storm subwoofer. If you don't listen to bass heavy music (I listen to a lot of Metal), you could probably do without the Storm. Fortunately, ... | |
| Squeezebox+Power Supply+Reclocker or??? No.You will only be disappointed by the poor interfaces from the non-LMS devices out there. Similar setup here: Touch + Pardo, but I have also done the EDO hack to output to my USB dac (Audio-gd Masster 7). I found it a little better than the BNC ... | |
| Integrated internet radio, cd player, USB, and amp First thing, plan on keeping the Squeezebox. You'll never be satisfied with any of the other interfaces out there. I wasn't, so now I use my Squeezebox into a DAC. | |
| Improvements to OPPO 105 DARBEE? Speculation on AVScience forum has the 103/105 good for another year or so due to the lack of finalization of the 4k standard, and lack of chipsets that support current standards in HDMI 2.0.At least I hope so, as I just ordered a 103 :) | |
| High Quality Digital Coax RCA to BNC Adaptors Another vote for Blue Jeans Cable. I have a few of their Belden 1694A with Canare BNC on one end and RCA on the other that I use depending on the "configuration of the week" of my system :) | |
| blue jeans cable? I have Blue Jeans Cables throughout my system, RCA Audio, XLR Audio, HDMI, RF Coax, RCA and BNC Coax, Digital Optical. I even use some of their ethernet cables in my network, but I'll admit that was mainly because I was ordering some other cables ... | |
| VPI Scout Ground Hum If it isn't a cable problem, check for vibration:Lightly lift the arm. See if you feel any vibration.If so, make sure the motor's powercord isn't touching the back left leg of the plinth. If you still have vibration, lightly feel around the top of... | |
| setting azimuth You can't just use a voltmeter. Don't ask me the technical details, as they are beyond me, but I believe you need some sort of filter. I use a Wally analog shop. | |
| Best XLR IC's for around $300/pair? I had the Take Five Audio Neotech NEI-3002 XLR's with the Vampire plugs and they were very good. I only replaced them because of a system configuration change. | |
| Thread Size of Spikes for Revel F206 What outriggers are you getting? I was thinking of getting the 206's myself. | |
| Computer vs CD/SACD discs For me, the main factor is convenience. I still have to death match my CD player (Simaudio Moon Nova) vs server>Slimdevices Transporter> Audio-gd Master 7, but I really doubt that I will bring the CD's up out of the basement and give up user... | |
| music server setup questions Least expensive to get started:Your DAC has AES/EBU, RCA and Toslink inputs. The simplest way, depending on the outputs of your computer, is to use the RCA or Toslink directly, or a USB-to-S/PDIF Converter to connect the USB to the RCA.Playback so... | |

| Ground Loop Video and advice. Try another pair of RCA cables. There might be an intermittent short in the cables that only manifests itself in certain positions. |
