| how to Implement a High Pass Filter in my setup Consider a miniDSP. I’m a recent convert and it’s very configurable, even for old people who’re hard of thinking.Rooze | |
| Preamp connection to multiple powered subwoofers Just pick up a cheap miniDSP 2x4 or 2x4 HD.If you’ve only one pre-out, just use a simple solid rca splitter. Run to one of the inputs on the miniDSP, then run 4 outputs, one to each sub. Bypass the XO on all 4 subs, if you don’t have a bypass then... | |
| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well Old DACs... new DACs... sound the same?All this is very disturbing. | |
| Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now? wow...so much great info, I appreciate all the responses.@cal3713 I've re-read my OP and see your point about it being a little confusing. Let me put it a different way - I'm not looking for specific equipment recommendations, I can research what'... | |
| Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now? @lalitk Thanks. I'm living with a Sim Audio Moon 380D. It does not have the optional streaming interface and due to limitations with my internet connection, streaming isn't something I'm all that interested in. Certainly, a worthwhile step up in D... | |
| Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now? @lalitk I do play CD’s and use an Aurender N100H on rare occasions but neither give me the same degree of satisfaction as listening to vinyl.But.... I would like at least to close the gap and get more use of all my digital media. I’m just wonderin... | |
| Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now? I guess there will always be new boxes to buy, but will they actually sound any better or are we done now! I mean, it could be argued that the Cambridge Audio CD2 I owned in the 80’s hasn’t really changed much (in sound) from the Cambridge Audio 8... | |
| Ideas For A Beefy Solid State Amp For Subwoofer Duties UPDATE:Well, I came home with a new toy on Monday, a Crown XLS2502 power amp.Last night was spent making some major changes. Pulled the plate amps from two Aerial SW-12 subs. Was relieved to find that behind the plate amps was a sealed enclosure w... | |
| members and their systems Since I don’t have any kids I feel it’s fair to spend their college fund on audio gear. And since I’m very potent, I reckon I could’ve knocked out at least six of them before I killed myself. | |
| Ideas For A Beefy Solid State Amp For Subwoofer Duties Interesting comments.@russ69 it’s been on my mind, the point you make about lightweight amps with lots of watts, versus heavy hitters weighing 100lbs that deliver a lot less power, at least on paper:)I suppose SMPS help in this regard, but yes...... | |
| Ideas For A Beefy Solid State Amp For Subwoofer Duties @wolf_garcia Yes, good point. I don't want to hear fans..not the spinning variety. | |
| Phono Stage, How much do I need to spend, New or used. iFi Audio iPhono 3 would be my recommendation for a good starting point, for a $grand, new.if you have more in the pot then anything from Allnic Audio should deliver, assuming you’re not averse to tubes. Haven’t heard the Herron phono that people ... | |
| Origin Live company support Fantastic products - never had an issue with communication, all going to OL owner Mark Baker. Brits tend to be a bit caustic. People of few words mostly, except when dealing with the French.I think if he said 'can't help you, no parts available, b... | |
| Does This 'Black Box' Exist, If So, What Is It? @boss302 Hey there Bossman, how's it goin!?Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen that line before and the specs seem a good match for what I need.You still in MadTown?Rooze | |
| Preamp thoughts- Conrad Johnson ET7 S2 V McIntosh C2600 @jond Thanks for the link. I did own the TA-1000 preamp at the same time as the Thor monoblocks, and whilst it's an excellent preamp, particularly for the low $2k's that it seems to fetch, it isn't the best preamp in that price range by any means... |
