| Please recommend a coax SPDIF cable similar to the Nordost Tyr 2 I'm using a pure silver Xangsane coax cable and it has pushed the performance of my DAC to another level. Xangsane is a chinese company but they make genuine stuff with quality engineering and materials at very affordable prices. It's cheap, yo... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing I have a large variety of cables I purchased over the years. Not very expensive ones , no lamp cord, many very nice Chinese cables that would cost a fortune if they were made in Europe where I live. Anyways. I have been extensively listening to ... | |
| Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old… @1971gto455ho yawn. | |
| Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old… You're just experiencing something very important that cable deniers seem happily unaware of -which says a lot about their ears and / or systems-: the wrong cable can seriously bottleneck even the best system. Yes, speaker cables can sound thin a... | |
| power cord for pass 250.8 @roxy54 the pure silver xangsane are up there with the very best. To be honest I haven’t heard the power cable, but their interconnect and digital coax are absolutely amazing and would still be great value at 10x the price IMO. I don’t see any rea... | |
| power cord for pass 250.8 This is the current best value in power cables. Don't dismiss it because it's chinese; they make absolutely stupendous cables at very affordable prices. Yes it's a lot of money, but it's PURE SILVER. https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/100500620534... | |
| JBL K2 S9900 vs Klipsch Heritage Jubilee Horn Speakers. @deep_333 what are you ranting about? It's a whole Klipsch design. That midrange horn is marvelous. That bass horn is incredible. No one else uses those. 35000$ for such size and performance is an absolute bargain in 2024! It usually buys you a pa... | |
| full range or mini's and a sub IMHO the mini monitor + sub only matches full range speakers if an active crossover is included, or, at least, some high-pass on the main amp. Otherwise, you will still be limited by power handling and distortion from your 5inch main "woofers", a... | |
| Improving a stone rack I have a tempered glass rack that does emphasize the highs and makes everything sound a bit "sterile" and cold. I solved the problem by having my electronics on some bamboo cutting boards (Ikea Aptitlig) which themselves rest on 4 Moongel pads (t... | |
| Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! I'm using PA drivers and horns and cabs (Peavey FH1 bass horn) in my main system, but the difference between a hi-fi setup and a pro PA set-up most often lies in the crossover. If you're after max SPL you probably go with different frequency cross... | |
| klipsch cornwall iv upgraded crossovers @perkadin if you don't like doing mods, fine. But don't consider a single minute that a Klipsch Cornwall uses state of the art components and that they didn't cheap out on parts. If they didn't, the Cornwall would be unaffordable to most of us. ... | |
| Amp — Leave on or turn off I'm using class D amps and they usually stay on 24/7, so does the Pass B1 preamp. I only turn them off if I leave for more than 24H. And when I do, it sure takes a little while to fully "bloom" again. Believe it or not, the only device I turn off... | |
| What qualities stand out in really good solid state preamps? I find it very amusing to read that apparently, for some, there isn't audible differences between solid state preamps?!? Come on. Every circuit has a "sound", even when it seems very transparent / neutral, if you compare it with another circuit... | |
| Preamp Gain issues with high efficiency speakers You could get something like a Pass B1 preamp, that's what I did on my high sensitivity system. A Pass B1 with Mundorf caps and TKD potentiometer sounds fantastic and is unity gain. Sounds much better at reasonable levels than my previous high gai... | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement @kokakolia I've just ordered a Hifimediy TK2050 amplifier board. Check it out. Tripath sound with power!!! You need to add a power supply, input and output terminals, and of course a box (a piece of wood works). There are huge threads about ... |
