| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? I only noticed time alignment issues with present highly modded Klipschorns when in stock form. Originally mid driver and tweeter mounted on same baffle, mid driver sat probably 17" behind tweeter, this due to long exponential horn on mids. My mod... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? Also, if you're if your choice comes down to non-optimized computer vs. server, get the server. I progressed from stock Windows and Mac computers to somewhat modded mac mini, then present extremely moded mac mini. No comparison, even the first mod... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? itsjustme correct, all servers are essentially optimized computers, the optimization is the critical difference between them. I consider actual computer diy solution, off the shelf server already done for you. Its also correct that much of the... | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search @charles1dad The improvements you're hearing with Pro-Ject vs PWT are exactly what I heard with my Mark Levinson No37 vs PWT. I could never get past lower resolution and transparency of PWT. The PWT lack of performance, even after my mods, moti... | |
| Gamut Lobster Chair I too use the Ikea poang with ottoman, fold the head piece underneath cross brace at top, otherwise too high. Chairs with backs higher than my ears cut off the subtle sound cues coming from behind listening postion. The lobster chair, like I c... | |
| Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units? Good for you! Only personal experience will allow you to determine whether benefit worth the cost. I expect you'll find the benefit well worth the cost using any of the top flight caps. And aren't all moves in audio taking a chance, purchasing ne... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired Seems like we're getting a lot of comparisons to Holo dacs, interesting that R2R users want to try 005 and/or Sabre chip dac, reportedly very different sound qualities, at least up to now. Could it be different dac topologies are converging? Repor... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired I believe that's correct amperage. I've been running with 5a Synergistic Orange that I had as spare. I'd replace with stock, although keep in mind this dac uses supercapcitors in power supply, may have enough inrush current to blow equivalent amp... | |

| If a " system " cannot do this, I move on........ I can only say not all horns created equal, so blanket statements not credible unless all have been heard in one's own system. Yes, they do have this overall gestalt, what I call immediacy, but in your face, not. This immediacy does require extrem... | |
| If a " system " cannot do this, I move on........ My other speakers are Merlin VSM-MM, all Duelund VSF caps in BAM and crossover, Texas Component TX2575 z foil resistors, upgrades voltage regulators, blah, blah, blah. Totally different kind of speaker, anything but in your face quality, my Klipsc... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I use 005 with Coincident 845 SET, custom built 300B monoblocks and modded Prima Luna Dialogue Four, used with SED EL34, Coincident Statement preamp, which uses 101D direct heated tube, greatly modded Klipschorns. I've not heard any semblance of ... | |
| If a " system " cannot do this, I move on........ To expound a bit on listener perspective. Your are there, the sense you're transported to studio or recording venue. The performers are here, the sense of the studio being brought into your listening room. The performers are here, the sen... | |
| suspending monitors from the ceiling I had a friend back in the day with four Bose 901's hung from ceiling, all four corners. Guy loved hard rock, metal played at extremely high volumes. Worst sound ever, all these other guys would love it, I'd be cringing. The difference with ha... | |
| Just a thought on first impressions, items for sale....and your thoughts. Perhaps this is good thing, they expose the truth. Cleaning up and polishing may hide how they truthfully keep equipment. On the other hand, dust and fingerprints may not indicate true condition of internal components. It does show someone not... |
