| Battery-Powered Audio System Buzzing? Well the wall AC power seems pretty stable here at 120V. The differences I'm hearing could be other things on the circuit potentially. I mean it sounds fantastic as it is with wall AC, and I only preferred the battery sound on one of my two system... | |
| Battery-Powered Audio System Buzzing? @erik_squires That's a great question. I don't watch my incoming house power. I'm not sure how to do so, but that would be interesting to learn. | |
| Battery-Powered Audio System Buzzing? An update for any who are interested - I heard back from all the manufacturers of my gear. - Don Sachs said no concerns for the preamp. It draws at most 150 W. Only issue would be if voltage drops. "You won't hurt the preamp. The preamp will run ... | |
| Battery-Powered Audio System Buzzing? @immatthewj After A/B-ing with the upstairs system (Schiit Tyrs/Tekton Encores) I've come to the conclusion that while there is a difference between battery and wall power, it is very slight. One is not better than the other. Not worth the annoyan... | |
| Battery-Powered Audio System Buzzing? @immatthewj I am trying this setup with both my upstairs and downstairs systems, the difference being the downstairs setup has the Schiit Aegir going into Tekton Impact monitors. For the downstairs setup, yes it is a dramatic improvement. The soun... | |
| Battery-Powered Audio System Buzzing? Thanks to everyone for the input. I confirmed that my Anker battery creates a pure sine wave. It also has a maximum output of 1800 W, and my system on average draws about 175 W. @erik_squires thanks for the suggestion, I had not put everything in ... | |
| Genesis I was first introduced to them with the We Can’t Dance album, around the time it came out. I have since worked my way all of the way back and pretty much enjoy it all. Early Genesis and late Genesis are very different musical styles obviously, but... | |
| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? Thanks for all the input everyone. Better safe than sorry it would seem in this case. | |
| Coda 11, Schiit Tyr, JC5 or ??? The Tyrs are incredible. I kept them and returned the $6800 Pass XA-30.8. Nothing against the Pass, just about how great the Tyrs are at half the cost. | |
| Any owners of Schitt Bifrost 2? I had the Bifrost 1 Multibit, which sounded great. I moved to a Yggy OG and it blows the Bifrost out of the water… | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? I replaced my S/510s with Rythmik F12 Gs and couldn’t be happier. They are every bit as fast and musical as the Rels and dig much deeper. | |
| Coda #8, Pass XA25, or Schiit Tyr to replace PS Audio M700 @thriftyaudio That's too bad! I have always gotten a prompt response when I've reached out to Schiit. I don't know why you wouldn't have heard anything back. Also weird about the fuse issue. I hope the XA-25 turns out to be the ticket for you then. | |
| Coda #8, Pass XA25, or Schiit Tyr to replace PS Audio M700 @thriftyaudio Glad to hear it! They really are crazy good outstanding amps. I think a lot of people ignore them because of the price or because they think of Schitt as some ‘discount-and-therefore-second-rate’ brand, but that is their loss. For po... | |
| Coda #8, Pass XA25, or Schiit Tyr to replace PS Audio M700 @thriftyaudio Enjoy the Tyrs! I hope they are as satisfying for you as I have found them in my system. One important thing though - they take a good 1-2 weeks to fully settle in. For the first few days they were bass pussycats. The Aegir was thund... | |
| Coda #8, Pass XA25, or Schiit Tyr to replace PS Audio M700 @thriftyaudio I originally was running a single Schitt Aegir and was happy with it. But I was really curious about the Pass stuff, so I popped for the XA 30.8. There was a lot about the Pass that was great, but when I swapped the Aegir back in I w... |
