| Why audiophiles are different (explained with color) "elitist drivel" you say....Thanks for sharing. Complaints of over the top language and hyperbole are disparaged with the heat of a thousand suns.haha - we wouldn’t want to disappoint. rhythmic nuance in a musical performance which are every bit a... | |
| Opinions on the ; Rosso Fiorentino Sienna or Volterra II Speakers I have heard the Sienna (I think rev.2?) They were every bit as good as the reviews I’m reading here, in regards to spacial information, uncolored and and detailed voicing of female and male voices, instruments etc.I only heard the stand mounts wi... | |
| Audio PC @auxinput - thanks, I'll be looking into that.+1 brov | |
| I have a macbook pro going into a benchmark DAC - what's the best upgrade path? A VERY LOUD +1 to audiotroyI used to listen to a Mac mini as a server, I'm miles beyond that now (and a few grey hairs).If you don't have a highly resolving system, you may not not hear the difference as much, the DAC being a big player, and your ... | |
| Why audiophiles are different (explained with color) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN7krvnm2uM Animals Cannot Be Blue | Explorer @teo_audio - Another interesting topic is how we are engaged in statistics when we listen and recognise voices, instruments, spacial information (imaging) are all ski... | |
| US source of Panzerholtz? I know this thread has been sleeping for a while now. I am discussions with my former employer about building his latest designed speaker in USA.He was the one who suggested Panzerholz (Panzerholtz) to me.When I worked for him, we were building ou... | |
| Audio PC Depending where you live and what tools you have, are you handy man?In the US, isolate the circuit by turning off the circuit breaker (make sure nobody can turn it on while you work).Confirm that you have isolated the circuit, there are AC pens th... | |
| Audio PC I built my PC music server based upon information and listening to different devices as the music server to different DACs.What I have is, an 8Watt (yes eight) commercial grade, two core fanless CPU. Not very powerful, and not high current use, or... | |
| USB Jcat card for DIY mounting IF you''re going to use a JCat FEMTO USB card, you're obviously going to use USB to feed the DAC your data stream? I just checked out the GD DAC, looks pretty impressive from specs, though it doesn't have ethernet input, unless there's an adapter.... | |
| Shipping floor standing speakers +1 for riaa....If you're in a position to be able to put a second box on the original packing, it would be a winner.I used to box up speakers from the loudspeaker manufacturer I worked for, and ship around the globe. Stand mount speakers in cardbo... | |
| Grover Huffman Speaker Cables This thread is asleep for a while. I have the Pharaoh power cable 20A,going from a Puritan PSM-156 to a Datasat RA-2400.That’s an 800Watt output power amplifier, the Pharaoh PC is very well made, and it sounds fantastic in my system.Evidently, he ... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander @willgolf -- I'm a fan of Duelund, however I've never played with power cords with their conductors. So far their caps are pretty hard to beat (but my goodness they aren't exactly cheap, or cheaply made either).I just came back after looking at... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander @ willgolf - well that's an entirely different proposition than the one I presumed you meant. And yes changing both the crossover and the drivers by someone who actually has the knowledge to do so correctly, makes more sense.If you do choose to d... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander @willgolf - all this attitude and all you did is ask a simple question, right?It makes sense, that if you already knew that it was such a chore and not a simple thing, you wouldn't have asked, and so you're discovery mode.Sorry to be such a wet ... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander @willgolf - There's a lot of unknowns in swapping out drivers in a loudspeaker. First thing I'd consider is the fact a decent designer is going to choose drivers that compliment each other in a multi driver loudspeaker.Crossover points, anti-phase... |
