| Help - static noise in speakers Any noise due to external factors would show up on both channels, my best guess of OP issue is failing cap, resistor, cold solder, either diy repair or return to manufacturer, let them diagnose, this all speculation at this point. | |
| Is Roon The Best Sounding Option For Us? I ran a highly modified Mac Mini as my streamer some years ago, I heard pretty much same thing you heard when comparing Audirvana to Roon, Audirvana sound a bit more analog like vs Roon. Moving on to today, now running much different streaming set... | |
| Why does USB feature so much in discussions about DACs when the newer HDMI seems better? I2S not only has advantage of dedicated runs for clock, data and channels, but it eliminates a detour through dac usb board (I2S native data path in dacs). Another potential advantage of implementing I2S via DDC is possibility of superior clocking... | |
| Desperate to Get Back to Horns I'm horn convert, I can say with great assurance my highly modified Klipschorns are end game. Many mods possible with Klipsch Heritage, if mods not your thing, I'd go with Volti's, these more refined than stock Heritage although more recent Herita... | |
| Help - static noise in speakers I'd not continue to use the amp, continuing static after swapping everything means this internal issue. You may end up in catastrophic failure if situation left unresolved, I know this from direct experience. | |
| For Those Who Are Unaware of The Cable Company The lending library is part of their sales model, you should expect they'd not be happy with one who endlessly borrows, never purchases. With freq. flyer program you end up paying at competitive price. As for pushy sales people, you, the customer... | |
| Would you buy a tube amp if you were unable to use vintage tubes in it ? Plenty of very nice modern 300B, 845, EL34 tubes. I'd definitely have an issue devoid NOS for most others. | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? So many! Yes, King Crimson's "Epitaph' timeless! Another one that's stayed with me from youth, Who's 'Won't Get Fooled Again', "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss", again simply timeless, always applicable to those who make the rules of the g... | |
| Chinese DAC's The problem with the value proposition is if we all know a tariff is being applied we understand we're paying an extra tax, ruins the value for me and likely many others. I don't want to pay an extra tax, especially to a gvt. I don't support. I'm ... | |
| For Those Who Are Unaware of The Cable Company Used them for many years, I made most of the choices as to what cables auditioned, they offered up other options. | |
| Chinese DAC's Not just Chinese audio, recently discovered new streaming produced in Latvia, modified by US entity. Seriously considering purchasing at $3k price, sudden price increase last few day to $3500, aprox. 16.5% jump. No way I'm paying an extra $500 fo... | |
| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? I've long been curious about amps and wanted to try a variety of topologies. Solid state, both class a/b and class a, one of the class a powered via four wheelchair batteries. Push pull tubes with many varieties of power tubes, SET's using 845, 30... | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? @hilde45 Good points. As for the professional reviewer vs amateur/owner reviews. I presume at a certain level per this particular reviewer, he has access to virtually all audio components at all price levels. So, I'd suggest this kind of reviewer ... | |
| Shakti Stone Yep, transformers, hard drives emanate much EMI/RFI. Good one is to try on power conditioners. | |
| 2 Channel system sounds weak and lackluster @boxboy83 I'm surprised no one has mentioned AC, quality of AC can vary widely, the fact you liked system in another room points to this. Also none of what you're complaining about point to the room being the culprit, that room is live, full of r... |
