| Small drivers vs big drivers +1 Audiokinesis I can’t think of anything to add as Duke knows a lot more than I ever will!!We are lucky to have such knowledgeable contributions!Agree 100% everything Duke said! | |
| What is your approach to system fine tuning with cables and cords ? Yeah, n80 doesn’t sound at all like your typical insecure neurotic hypochondriac! | |

| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? @phusis What Greg Timbers says is so true. All the points are accurate. You can’t fool physics. There are only a few audiophiles today who understand what a big speaker with large 15” woofers and 4” voice coils can do and even fewer who are willin... | |
| Mini-Rant: Human Fingers It is simply best practice to keep speaker +/- wires close together. Larger distances will create stronger EM that could affect other nearby devices like a transformer. | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? I made an extensive list of all the weak points and shortcomings of Pass pre-amps and amps. Here it is.....this is everything I could come up with...../insert blank page | |
| Ticking/popping noises from DAC With Bridge II make sure your router has multi-casting turned on. Also check your Ethernet switches. | |
| Small drivers vs big drivers @erik_squires I think we hear it but you are right in the sense that it isn’t really a change in the sustained note of the kick. It isn’t because there are more lower frequencies present - more a time coherence thing - the slap of the head with th... | |

| Small drivers vs big drivers Large drivers with large diameter voice coils will push much more air and stay cooler and consequently remain incredibly dynamic and effortless at concert volume levels. Minimal distortion.A small woofer with a small diameter voice coil pushes ver... | |
| Why price of Tannoy speakers from online retailers in UK is cheaper than in US There are hefty duties on speakers!Around 25% if I recall. Funnily enough, you can ship transducers with little or no import tax. This is why many countries have their own custom cabinet makers and these custom cabinet makers call themselves speak... | |
| A New? Way to Buy Loudspeakers?? @mtdining blur the lack of frequency extension and muddy bass of British speakers. You clearly haven’t heard all British speakers as your comment really only refers to smaller domestic British speakers. Most of the music you listen to is likely mi... | |
| I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments? First time I heard ATC in 1994. I thought the demo pair I heard must be a one off freak or unicorn of exceptional performance (never having heard a speaker sound so realistic before) - so I immediately bought the demo pair from the store owner and... | |
| Am I deaf? Not nuts. The Oppo is a good DAC. There are lots of great DACs out there and they are sounding very close. Try PS Audio Direcstream if you want something a little different - smoother and more analog sounding without loss of resolution. Also try a... |
