| 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) | |

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 ... | |
| Digital coax cable, real world experiences? @jea48 Not just 1 and 0Yes It is only 1 and 0 and clock timingClock timing information errors (rise time and reflections) is the source of jitter. Eliminate jitter and then it is ONLY 1 and 0's | |
| Digital coax cable, real world experiences? @janehamble No need to be aggressive and offensive. I was just saying your equipment is NOT lousy. Far from it, you have the most amazing setup and the most amazing hearing acuity. You stated Blue Jeans was "OK" but with Audioquest you were "Gobsm... | |
