| Issues with AudiogoN forum website, anyone? Me too. Tons of issues on my iPad with Audiogon website until I upgraded my charger cable. Now I only charge my iPad with 99.99% pure oxygen free electrons.My advice is to upgrade your charger cable or your power supply. Once dirty electrons get i... | |
| To Wilson Maxx I, I or IIII owners, or any Wilson speaker owners @handymann That is just an example and not my setup. Covering the front and sharp edges of the speaker baffle with some felt will make a big difference. | |
| To Wilson Maxx I, I or IIII owners, or any Wilson speaker owners Here is a photo example using felthttp://tripp.com.au/gif/spk02.jpgIf you put the grills on over top of the felt you won’t even see the feltDunlavvy speakers had similar issues on the baffles and he used felt. It works great. | |
| Digital Music sounds too bright? @audioengr +1 DittoSince the measured performance of my DAC with Toslink is absolutely perfect and I have very few really high res files, I have opted for galvanic isolation rather than use the higher sample rate USB input of my DACSo I have compl... | |
| Switched from Yggdrasil to Gungnir Multibit. Oops - I am mistaken. The new ARC DAC 9 does not have high pro audio output levels like the DAC 8. I am puzzled why they changed this aspect of design. The DAC 8 has high output from the analog XLR. | |
| LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago? My double LP of Rastus sounds amazing and better than anything else because this Tower of Power style band was never re-issued apart from the original few LPs. | |
| Vienna Acoustics Liszt - Fad or Future? Vienna speakers sure sound different - a rather unconventional or odd measured response. That new HF/mid drive unit is scary - it has a magnet no bigger than a tweeter and produces the most Q resonances I have seen in a long time. Most designers ... | |
| Bybee Active Room Neutralizers As someone who is trained in physics, I feel compelled to point out there is no way this can change the compliance of air. To change compliance you would need to add something to the air (like a humidifier will add water vapour) or pressurize the ... | |
| Is it possible to buy a decent tube amplifier in the $2000-3000 range? +1 DouglasHave you recapped your preamp recently?I am frankly puzzled by your approach. I don't think a more powerful amplifier is the solution. | |
| Digital Music sounds too bright? @audioengr +1"BTW, brightness is not usually due to acoustics. Its usually something else. Most people go down the garden path using cables that act as filter, ferrite beads or blankets to snuff-out the HF sounds. This is the wrong path to take... | |
| To Wilson Maxx I, I or IIII owners, or any Wilson speaker owners Hi Handymann,I don’t have Wilsons but I have always admired them since the Watt Puppy.Please try some thin 2 or 3 mm foam or felt around the tweeter and on the baffle edges around the tweeter and mid range driver.When the sound collapses to the sp... | |
| What exactly is colored sound? @bdp24 Gordon Holt had a passion for large Soundlab speakers because they were so transparent. In later years he was equally happy about his ATC SCM 50 speakers which he also felt were transparent as well as dynamic. (Transparent being uncolored) | |
| Switched from Yggdrasil to Gungnir Multibit. Your Theta DAC was a pro audio style device. It output 9 volts on RCA and 18 volts on XLR.You are experiencing the limitation of consumer grade gear.Pro audio gear generally has much higher line level signal levels which allow the devices to excee... | |
| Switched from Yggdrasil to Gungnir Multibit. The XLR on this DAC runs at 4 volts vs 2 volts. Since you invested in high quality power amps then you might want to try any of the pro audio style DACs which will have much more powerful output (around 20 volt or ten times your Gungy) | |
| What exactly is colored sound? Colored sound is anything that is different from the recorded commercially available music as produced in mastering. Despite many claims to the contrary, it is actually the opposite of high-fidelity. It can be highly engaging and enjoyable - just ... |
