| Speaker or amplifer What sub are you using? It’s a little curious that you’re lacking slam while using a sub assuming it’s properly set up. | |
| Wilson Watt Puppies 50th year Anniversary model @debrajray Yeah, you’re probably right but still might be interesting. | |
| Wilson Watt Puppies 50th year Anniversary model I have to say that I am old-school enough that I am still anxious about drops on WiFi. @debrajray I don’t think using mesh would be Wi-Fi but rather over power lines so may not be as susceptible to dropouts, and many report it sounds much bett... | |
| Wilson Watt Puppies 50th year Anniversary model I have a very long run of ethernet cable going to the 791, and plan to either create a short fiber moat or simply add an Etherregen. @debrajray You could use something like a Wi-Fi extender or many people here use the Eero Mesh system so you c... | |
| Replacing JL Audio F112 v1 @mesonto He’s probably never even heard a Rhythmik sub and can’t even spell it right. Anyone who’s owned or heard a Rhythmik sub knows this is just wrong. | |
| Moving to separates Thanks for clarifying — that helps a lot. Since you listen to multichannel music I’m gonna reiterate my recommendation for the McCormack amp I linked above, and for only $800 I’m confident you’ll hear a substantial improvement over the amps in you... | |
| Moving to separates I do need video so an integrated amp is not in the cards. You would still be using the AVR for video/multichannel and the integrated would take over for stereo, and you could toggle between the two with the push of a button. But if you need/wa... | |
| Recommendation for an HDMI cable under $200 for audio only I’d second the DH Labs HDMI 2.1, but this one from Wyred 4 Sound also looks interesting and worth a look. The key is to keep it as short as possible because i2S degrades quickly with distance. https://wyred4sound.com/products/hdmi-pcocc-premium ... | |
| Upcoming Trip I’m not a big Sony fan, but these get high marks for both sound quality and for noise cancelling, which will be important on a plane. I’d compare those to the Momentum 4 to see which is best for your needs. Focal headphones have spotty reliabili... | |
| Jesse Colin Young has passed away. “Get Together” is one of those seminal songs from the era that just instantly takes me back to my childhood, and it did so again today. RIP. | |
| Innuos Zen next-gen vs. Pulsar for streaming...? It doesn’t help that there just seems to be very few reviews of any of their newer streamers, especially from review sites/mags that I at least consider to be reputable. Nonexistent as far as I can see. Frustrating. | |
| Moving to separates If this is just for HT I wouldn’t bother unless the AVR just doesn’t have sufficient power, which it probably does. If it’s at all for 2 channel then get a stereo integrated amp and run the front L/R preouts from the AVR to the HT bypass or other ... | |
| Tubes and less sensitive speakers If I was you I’d strongly consider Atmasphere’s GaN amp (no affiliation with the company BTW). You’ll get a lot of the tube sound with solid state bass control and none of the tube hassle, heat, or expense. I think you can even do a trial period... | |
| Tubes and less sensitive speakers I thought I heard Atmasphere amps can work well with Maggies but could be wrong. Worth checking or maybe @atmasphere can chime in. | |
| Need recommendation for repair service in CA bay area - McCormack DNA-1 @mike_in_md OP said he already checked the fuses. |
