| Theoretical battery power supply question @rhg3 Yup, I used the same calculation and if I pursued this I’d go with their 500W version that’d get me 7+ hours of use. But at only $175 I might try the 300W version just with my $400 streamer and see what sonic benefits I get, if any. Plus, ... | |
| Green Mountain Audio Tend to agree to look at getting surrounds fixed, especially if the crossover is first order and requires the driver to operate across a wide range without breakup. | |
| Jumped the shark. ??? @jerryg123 Thanks for the info on the updated Pharaoh. Despite the Medusa using their older design and being firmly in the “white wine” sound category, it was still one of the better amps I’ve had in my system so the Pharaoh with all its improvem... | |
| Theoretical battery power supply question Interesting stuff. Point taken about the quality of the inverter that I can’t think is very good at this price level. Given this would be powering about $5k of electronics I’m not willing to risk potentially damaging the equipment due to dirty p... | |
| Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances Call Pass and ask them what their 2 Ohm output is. I’d be surprised if it’s not more than capable given their very robust power supplies. | |
| Jumped the shark. ??? I had the Medusa in my system on audition and it was excellent in its way. Specifically, it offered the ultimate in transparency and threw open an expansive and deep 3D soundstage. But, it’s a decidedly “white wine” and neutral sounding amp that... | |
| Best Dedicated Streamer I think something like the Innuos Zenith paired with a DDC like a Denafrips Hermes will provide excellent streaming performance and allow you to take advantage of the AES/EBU input on your Canary that many put up there with an i2S connection and c... | |
| Harman Kardon Citation Amp 12 and B & W Nautilus 803 Speakers How much power does the HK put out into 4 Ohms? Unless you listen at low levels or have a small room I think you’ll be pushing the amp to its limits, which is not optimal for best sound and B&Ws are reputed to thrive on more power. FWIW. | |
| Why not? I completely disagree with ‘deserve your attention’ notion. When I am shopping for electronics, I am considering its features, design, implementation and how it’s going to sound in my system. I didn’t buy my $25K EMM Labs DAC because they include... | |
| How to connect my Cell Phone to my DAC?!?! Make sure you have the right USB input selected on the DAC and try running the DAC’s output to the Hegel and see if it works. Best of luck. | |
| Power cords or power conditioner +1 @marco1 that your speaker placement is probably playing a large part in this as your equipment seems perfectly capable of throwing a large, 3D soundstage. I know you’ve played with placement already, but try this — pull speakers out another 2 ... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @charles1dad How are the LavriCables working out for you? Still liking them? | |
| Best Dedicated Streamer Budget would be helpful. | |
| can i get a significant dac upgrade over my Lumin d2 for 2k? @sgreg1 Ugh. Sorry man, but I have a feeling it’s gonna be well worth the wait. BTW, and not to point this thread in a different direction, but does anyone else think China is dealing with the virus foolishly by continually locking things down? ... | |
| Most Extensive State-of-the-Art DAC Survey Ever! Not saying my vinyl and CDs are lacking but the streamer takes it even higher. BTW, now using bluos with Quobuz since I have given up on Tidal's MQA. All that to say how this streaming journey has reached such incredible levels with such a reason... |
