| Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet? No matter what I do I can never seem to get them all level. I don’t know why that would be. Use a level then it just takes some time and patience. Without a doubt I’ll be incorporating some version of Townshend Seismic products under my speak... | |
| Reviews - Your Pet Peaves If a reviewer’s system is of high quality and relatively transparent then they’re likely in a good position to reveal the general sound characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses of that amp that will likely translate to your system as well. | |
| Another HiFi Listening Room help request First, congrats on getting here and off Reddit. Second, Duke is being way too modest here so I’m gonna step in and recommend his “Swarm” subwoofer system that your needs/tastes are just crying out for. Next, Spatial Audio speakers are dipole speak... | |
| Sound difference between High\Low Gain Setting when volume matched? I’d suggest trying the lower output first to see if it’s sufficient to drive the headphones. I slightly prefer the lower output setting on my Singxer SA-1 with my Hifiman Arya Stealth ‘phones. Using a higher gain setting with sensitive headphone... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz Agree with @jackd to spend a few more dollars on a reputable brand to minimize the risk of potentially damaging your equipment. | |
| DAC suggestions You might take a look at the new Gustard R26, or here’s a nice Denafrips Pontus ll for sale on USAM… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649896120-denafrips-pontus-ii-dac-like-new-original-owner-black-finish/ | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing I knew I’d regret saying something. My bad. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing There’s obviously much more to good sound than a lack of distortion. Japanese companies tripped all over themselves in the 70s/80s to produce the lowest THD specs and by and large produced amps/receivers that sounded awful. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @temmple I use an iFi iPowerX — never used the stock PS so can’t tell you how much it improved the sound, but I’m very impressed with what I’m hearing FWIW. I didn’t want to spend as much on a PS as I did for the ZS so the iPowerX was a logical/e... | |
| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room Go listen to some systems and bring your own music. I’d think Milwaukee must have a decent audio dealer, and it’s definitely worth a trip to Chicago and check out Holm Audio, etc. as there are several good audio dealers there. The more systems you... | |
| AVR Took A Dirt Nap - Looking To Upgrade This review was of Anthem’s AV Processors. Are you now thinking of going this direction as opposed to an AVR? Anthem has its roots in high-end audio as the HT subsidiary of what was Sonic Frontiers and as such has been a cut above the more mass ... | |
| 12'x16'x8' room OK for good stand mounts? If the JA Audio speakers do it for you, as they do me, you can get them to work. Do as Jeff Joseph did in a small NYC room and position the Pulsars or Prisms so they’re in the corner and the corner is at the highest depth of the speakers and pull ... | |
| NY audio show 2022 @robert53 You need to get head out of butt. Highlighting one crime at a time doesn’t mean the CRIME RATE PER PERSON is up significantly or all over the place in NYC. Do you just not get the concept of percentages? I think not. Believe what yo... | |
| NY audio show 2022 @jond I can present statistics til I’m blue in the face, but those who believe what they see on the news as representative of what actually is happening perpetuate their misinformed opinions — it’s called the availability hypothesis. Just because ... | |
