| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? @buellrider97Consider your journey to capture that sound forever is now over. For a fact, Supertramp went on tour with their own gear - custom speakers using ATC drivers (same as Pink Floyd on tour, Genesis ’78 Trick of the Tail tour). All you nee... | |
| Does a new cd transport require break-in time? @jea48 Yup. That is why all modern DACs should have complete jitter immunity. Some don't despite 20 years of jitter issues. | |
| Does a new cd transport require break-in time? Shrill sound? Looks like you have a jitter problem with the Gumby and it prefers the Oppo. Bits are bits but how well a DAC handles jitter is part of the DAC design. | |
| Lowthers midrange: how do they compare? If you are bulding try to find the Seas Excel 4.5" or 7" magnesium-cone with copper phase plug mid range driver that Joseph RM33 audio use. It measures really well. Linkwitz tested the 7" one and it performs well all round. Trust me you dont want ... | |
| Would you buy a 12-14 year old Integrated? No. Aging caps is a serious problem especially recently where manufacturing moved from Japan to China. | |
| Need streaming setup help! Why not get a Mac Mini and install Roon on it. I dont know about the Apple Airport but I know the ASUS AC5300 is as fast as it gets and you only need one. The mac mini will connect on wifi. You wont need an extender with AC5300. I would not tie yo... | |
| Suggestion on XLR Cables Canare Star Quad L-4E6S is the best you can find, much less than 1K. | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? +1 Almarg - I agree that the statement in the link is rather ambiguous. It isnt clear if it really is greater resolution from the greater bit depth of an additional bit or just a higher signal per bit but still 20 bits...Summing 20 bits + 20 bits ... | |
| Room acoustics @teo_audio You don't seem to understand what can be done with a microphone, a pc, software and frequency sweeps or chirp signals and a little mathematics (convolution and fourier analysis). | |
| Room acoustics On Mac OS you can use Fuzzmeazure to measure speaker and room response. Audyssey XT32 is or was an excellent automated system on Onkyo devices | |
| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? @gtaphile +1 PMC iB2 | |
| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? @bondmanp +1 Good observation. This is why large studio main monitors are all built into walls so they behave like an infinite baffle. Studio main monitors are exactly what "explosive dynamics" is about - they are designed to impress the hell out ... | |
| Room Response You can't possibly be using the SR transducers in conjunction with the Shakti hologram. The two products are well known to cause destructive quantum hall harmonic interference causing permanent damage to speaker transducers (from paramagnetism) an... | |
| Advantages of beryllium? @phusis I believe many people are able to hear what you describe with metal or rigid material versus damped materials. Equally there are others who dont seem to pick up on it or be sensitive to it. Maybe some of us listen more closely to timbre (t... |
