| The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up @cheche9 -- I recently got a tip from Emprical Audio that you should always run a balanced digital cable and use an SPDIF adapter if you’re not going balanced. According to him, and I haven't verified this but he knows what he's doing, digital cab... | |
| Need Help Sounds like you went to Magnolia at Best Buy? Branch out if you can and go to some boutique shops that carry more specialty brands. I'm not personally a B&W fan, but their latest offerings seem to have made some meaningful improvements, espe... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker Ha! Big +1 to Eric, and another +1 for starting this thread, which is doing a great service in exposing the wackos in this awesome hobby and also uncovering how ridiculously hard it is to actually develop and successfully market a speaker in today... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker Repeat from my prior post..."after all, it’s not easy banging your bleeding heart against some mad bugger’s wall"- Pink Floyd | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker Yeah, you’re right. From your completely uninformed and ignorant reading of a simple graph, you obviously have nailed it. You can now build your own Pulsar on the cheap. Oh, but then there’s this: From Jeff Joseph as of today:“The filters we us... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker It may look like it, but it's not. | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker @kenjit -- Ascend Acoustics sells direct, not through a dealer network. @wildfoxinn -- I don’t even see a model like that on the Ascend Acoustics website, so not sure what speaker your referring to. But anyway, there absolutely is some voodoo magi... | |
| Need Help Agree with others above about going out and listening to as many different speakers as you can, and absolutely bring a variety your own music you like to listen to. The more speakers you listen to, the more you'll start to zero in on the things t... | |
| Thiel 3.7's and Pass Labs xa60.5's- now looking for the next upgrade I have to disagree with @frozentundra -- a CJ preamp will probably just get you more of what the PrimaLuna pre is giving you now. Not that CJ isn't GREAT gear, but for what you're looking for in the context of your system, Bryson or Pass will get... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker For instance, one could go to a butcher shop and buy a prime grade cut of steak, go home and fire up the grill,I’ll just stop you there. I went to a respected butcher and bought some beautiful prime rib eyes, fired up the grill and still ended up ... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 Avanti1960, yes, yes, I do agree with your findings. I had to return the D9’s. I must have added another 100 hours on them & I have never seen a speaker change so much. More bass, deeper bass, and the nasty mid/treble knocked right off. I am a... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker This could go on forever. I’ve decided to not continue banging my head against this ignorant, uninformed, and irrational brick wall. In fact, we’d probably have an easier time explaining these simple concepts to an actual brick wall. Me, I’m gonna... | |
| help decide what av receiver under $1k to choose Big +1 @geek101 -- Some speakers are much harder to drive than others, so pick the speakers that appeal to you most and then we can help you choose an AVR that can drive them properly.Some highly-rated speakers from manufacturers who sell direct o... | |
| Thiel 3.7's and Pass Labs xa60.5's- now looking for the next upgrade What I am looking to do is to get more spatial cues, and I suppose detail, to have a better sense of the recording venue and bring me closer to that sense of a live performance. Yeah, that makes sense. My guess is the combo of your class-A amps wi... | |
| Legacy audio Focus se and tubes Holy crap, where is @audiotroy when we need him? Maybe he finally got banned. Anyway, he's a Legacy Audio dealer and will likely have some good info for you. |
