| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? I haven't watched Danny's videos religiously so I don't know what he's left out. In any case one shouldn't rely on only one source for their information. Sometimes I forget others far newer to high end audio, I've learned from so many sources over... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Modifying audio components in general allows one to obtain exactly the results one desires, this presumes one knows exactly what they're seeking. Understanding how to achieve those results requires either the assistance of others who have specific... | |
| Network Switches For those naysayers who claim switches can't make a sonic difference its the same old story. Man, I've heard the same thing about myriad things, probably every single component in one's system. Theoreticals don't impress me, empirical evidence mat... | |
| Network Switches @rikkipuu The difference between a router and switch is the router can assign IP addresses, common switches don't. A managed switch does have the ability to assign IP addresses, so managed switch can replace a router. Since regular switches don't ... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? I don't know if timbre has been raised as an issue, my sole issue with active crossovers is they would necessarily alter timbre. I've chosen specific components and modified parts within some components in order to achieve a pleasing timbre. I e... | |
| Network Switches I'm not one to say switches don't affect sonics, but just like this entire thread shows results highly variable. I've tried both generic and a $1500 audiophile switch, both changed the sound and not for the better. The various filters I've tried o... | |
| What does your DAC sound like More important than topology is how that topology is implemented. Yes, some chip dacs can be bright, analytical, others can be relaxed, very analog like sound, I have both R2R and Sabre chip dac at the moment, both very analog like, timbre and tim... | |
| Network Switches Fiber conversion also comes in various qualities, I've been through generic, moved up to Sonore OpticalModule and OpticalRendu. Using AfterDark Clay X Fiber cables with Finisar 1475 transceivers. So, fiber conversion quality can extend from cheap ... | |
| Network Switches My issue with switches for anything other than convenience is its simply not accomplishing much. So you have this noisy modem and router upstream of switch, the audiophile switch there to isolate downstream components from that noise. Ok, I get th... | |
| Help with possible left channel issue. @shredsled This why first law of owning tube equipment is having extra properly working tubes on hand, would have avoided this altogether. In any case you have unit working properly so that's good. | |
| ??? Are Manufacturers Killing Our Hobby ??? Its illogical to blame the manufacturers, too much choice is a bad thing! Besides, the consumer always has the last say, if demand lacking manufacturer has to adapt or go out of business, if there is an issue its lack of demand. Finally, why shou... | |
| Help me mod my tube amp @tablejockey This not true, my Dialogue didn't have Takman. Dialogue introduced in 2006, Takman's not used until somewhere around 2008. | |
| Network Switches These modified switches not worthwhile, get all switch mode power supplies out of streaming chain, better cables, network filters, etc, all are better investments. | |
| Help me mod my tube amp @bryoncunningham I recommended the Takman carbon film resistors, this what newer Prima Luna uses. These are very nice resistors and proven upgrade for PL. | |
| Is there a ROON sound? @reimarc You have it confused, bits are bits and the need for greater CPU resources are not opposite sides of the argument, rather they go hand in hand. We receive bit perfect data at our modems, it is OUR entire streaming chains that provide the ... |
