| What exactly is PRaT??? After four pages of discussion, I am pretty sure Agoners can’t help you with this, unless they are a Buddhist monk or a licensed psychologist. @knownothing I agree. Nothing anyone has said here has helped or made any sense to me whatsoever — I... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room Try playing with speaker placement first. I’d suggest pulling the speakers another foot into the room and more like 5.5’ - 6’ apart to give more breathing room from the walls and see if that mitigates the issues you’re hearing — my guess is that ... | |
| Needing DAC Advice You should consider the new LTA Aero DAC as it will add a bit of that tube goodness/flesh on the bones you seem to be looking for without going too far or sacrificing much upper octave air/detail. For an additional $149 I’d consider the Ray Tube ... | |
| Needing DAC Advice What’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used? Besides being more musical, what specific sound characteristics are most important to you? More info = better recommendations here. | |
| LAIV Harmony Question is do I need a DDC? What is a DDC? @sim_audio_nerd I added a Denafrips Iris DDC before my Musician Pegasus R2R DAC and it made very significant improvement. It provides galvanic isolation to reduce noise from USB, a TXCO Femto clock... | |
| Long XLR Interconnects I’ve been considering the same thing, but I don’t want to sacrifice/change sound quality by using cheaper interconnects nor do I want to spend thousands on longer lengths of my current interconnects so my solution is to get a low 2-level audio rac... | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? @mswale I agree with @big_greg if you heard boom boom from the SB3000 and highly likely that sub wasn’t dialed in properly. I’m not saying it’s on the same level as the better RELs or JL Labs subs, but it’s definitely not a boom boom sub if set ... | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? My personal evaluation of Rels Neutrik hi-level input application is based on 25 years of ‘personal’ knowledge. I am still currently using two Rel T9i’s so my opinion is they work exceedingly well for me using hi-level for hi-fi. @mylogic Most... | |
| Good choice for 20' XLR cable? What I’d consider doing rather than moving the rack and potentially degrading performance with cheaper interconnects would be to buy a new rack that’s long and low — like two components high. That way you can leave the components where they are b... | |
| What have you found to be the best preamp & amp for Acoustic Zen Adagio speakers? This completely depends on what sound characteristics you’re looking for. Also, what’s your budget and are you looking for new or used? | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? ln my opinion hi level for hi-fi and low level for home theatre only. @mylogic That might be your opinion, but most of the top subwoofers extant from the likes of Magico, Wilson, and JL Labs whose top subs venture well north of $20k only have ... | |
| Looking at the PROAC K3 as an upgrade to my current speaker Yeah, this is impossible to answer without knowing your current speakers and what improvements you’re looking for. | |
| Good choice for 20' XLR cable? These Audio Sensibilities interconnects are worth a look. 7N copper and cryogenically treated. Price is in Canadian $ so a 7m pair should be within your budget in US$. They also have a cheaper XLR that’s about half the price of this one. http... | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? Smaller venues where you can sit close to the band and really watch very talented players play has pretty much wrecked me for large venues where ticket prices are vastly higher for a less satisfying and involving experience. But that’s me. | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @gbmcleod As I mentioned, I’m a drummer so I not only know the beat, I’m the one who keeps it so the dancers know where it is and I still don’t get how PRaT translates (or doesn’t) to an audio system. Sorry but your analogy doesn’t translate to ... |
