| Rythmik or REL Subs to pair with Totem Element Metal V2? I have a pair of the F12G with GR drivers. Paired with DALI Epicon 6’s crossed over at 50Hz. They are authoritative, and plenty loud for my tastes. Be aware that if you use a Y-splitter to split the input signal to both inputs of the F12G, you wil... | |
| "Squaring The Circle"...Hipgnosis Documentary on Netflix @mofimadness The story of the Pig is hilarious! I always thought it was air brushed in...😂 My art framer of many years did work only for museums, galleries, and a few collectors he liked. One day I was dropping off a piece; we would normally ... | |
| Are you on or off? What say you? +1 @sfar. We're all here reading.... That said, I'm generally off. I have the Lightning Lane pass, but don't have any particular need to go on the rides. Happy with what I have. But now and then a new potential toy becomes very interesting, and ... | |
| Circuits explained with sprockets and acoustic camera (Steve Mould channel) This is very cool. Thanks for posting. One thing you learn in an engineering curriculum is that the same equations govern different phenomena — electrical (resistors, capacitors, inductors), mechanical (rigid bodies / chains, springs, dampers), fl... | |

| Anyone Know the Band Playing on T-Mobile Commercial? Use Shazam on your phone to tell you. I’ve found a bunch of new music from TV show and movie soundtracks. | |
| LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW! Polk Monitor 7s Bose Acoustimass (mistake letting visual considerations trump audio considerations) B&W CM7 (with Sunfire sub) DALI Epicon 6 (with twin Rythmik F12G-SE subs) | |
| Loki Max analog improvement Yeah, the stock design definitely sucks for low light or for those of us of a certain age with poor vision. Another solution is to take thin strips of day-glo red or orange tape, and apply them over the grooves in the stock knobs. | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) @evank Yes, but if the power goes out and then comes back on, the Pontus is in standby mode. My read was the OP wanted to power it on automatically via some external source, like a power sequencer. Mine stays on all the time, along with the strea... | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) I am a Pontus II owner, and echo the sentiments of @calvinandhobbes regarding value for the money. When you apply power to the Pontus, it comes up in standby mode. You actually have to hit the button to turn it on. This is a bit annoying… I do... | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) Oops, was just a Coltrane reference... wasn't trying to invent yet another phrase... | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) I still think Giant Steps are better than significant steps... 🎶🎷 | |
| Will the Topping E30 II support Tidal's FLAC streams? Be aware that while 32 bit resolution sounds attractive, in practice it doesn’t really matter beyond 24 bits. Even the best 24 bit DAC won’t have more than 20–21 bit effective resolution. This translates to about 126dB of dynamic range, meaning yo... | |
| Does an upgrade make sense? @soix Yeah, I forget which live jazz album I was listening to, but I got really annoyed at the table to the left of me making too much noise during the performance -- jostling and whispering... A great reminder of a great soundstage... | |
| Does an upgrade make sense? If you like the DALI house sound, it's very possible that upgrading your speakers may scratch your upgrade itch. I have the Epicon 6's and love them. Even so, I use a pair of Rythmik 12" sealed subs to get the very low end. It makes a difference, ... |
