Roon can be used to control everything (files on your PC as well as a Tidal) with Roon’s Amazing interface (use an android or iOS device to control and browse music) and with... | |
| Need a preamp with tone controls! I found somewhere you have B&W Matrix 802 which should be absolutely fine unless you have a very undamped room or the speaker has developed a problem - is the tweeter Ferrofluid dried out or could a driver be damaged and distorting? | |
| Need a preamp with tone controls! What is your setup?70's and 80's are the golden years of great pop/rock sound... | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? Without knowing the crossover frequency and if all tweeters are driven equally and in phase it is hard to comment on phase of the end result.The tweeters appear arranged in the space that a 9 inch cone would occupy. So in theory it will radiate ap... | |
| Your thoughts about ATC loudspeakers @david_ten I have used extensively since ’95 ATC speakers. SCM 20, SCM 20SL, SCM100A and their C6 subwoofer and even their largest active centre channel. They all sound very similar even active vs passive.As you go larger and go active the clarity... | |
| What are you listening to right now? +1Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson Songs from the Wood - love the Tidal Masters!!! | |
| Good SS Designers and their lesser known designs Tim Isaacs is a respected name in the U.K. with regard to amplifier designs in the 70's and 80's. He designed a MOSFET output stage amp that played like Class A at lower power but slid into AB Mode at highest power - best of both worlds - high pow... | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless Internal vs External DAC ?? One word - jitter. Most of the benefit of a good modern DAC will be the high quality asynchronous clock and jitter rejection. Perhaps the DAC in the LS50 is not as capable as an outboard DAC - however performing A to D and then D to A on the same ... | |
| power @wolf_garcia Soundstage readily admits that many speakers deviate from linearity at 90 dB and most will deviate significantly at 95 dB. Few if any audiophile speakers that Soundstage have tested can handle 100 dB.Take a $5000 audiophile speaker li... | |
| DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices I am hearing good things about Singzer SU-1...several people swear by this inexpensive device for USB playback. | |
| power @kost_amojanNot sure where I said 2 watts. Speaker drivers have an Xmax after which they are nonlinear and compress dynamics. Speaker voice coil could run at 100 degrees and may be rated up to 200 degrees. 98% of power into a voice coil is dissipa... | |
| DAC with multiple selective digital inputs Benchmark DAC3 - the DX is all digital inputs or L is an option if you need a couple of analog channels too....HT bypass function is a calibrated analog in and out that allows you to use the analog input and volume control from another device. | |
| New Class A/B under $6K, your recommendation? Benchmark AHB2 has the best specs of anything I am aware of (lowest noise floor etc)If you have not upgraded to Benchmark DAC3, I highly recommend it over the DAC2 | |
| Soundtracks and Film scores, your favourites The Hot Spots has a great soundtrack | |
| Recommendation RE: On Higher Note Demo Playlists on Tidal Streaming Thanks. I am always looking for new music. I see Philip O’Hanlon has some good Blues selections as well (several being my favourites - so I will be sure to check out his Blues playlists)Computeraudiophile also has a playlist with 100 tracks that y... |
