| Things I don‘t know So forget 99 44/100% of all rock recordings I always wondered why my Ivory soap was unaffected by phase inversion. Learn something new every day here! | |
| What speaker cable for Martin Logan motion series (AMT) tweeter. Given you haven’t found the right cable yet I’ll reiterate my earlier recommendation for the used AZ Satori shotgun cables for $850 that still seem to be available. If they don’t work out you can very likely sell them for no loss so very little r... | |
| Do No Harm ... well the least harm anyway This sounds like looking to create a problem where there is none. Your speakers go down to 26Hz and were designed to work that way — including the drivers that are custom made by Ref 3a — and you wanna cut them at 100Hz? And why in the world wou... | |
| Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks I wish I knew how it compares to the MP-3. There is a lot to be said for system energy and surely @atmasphere Ralph would have designed the Class D so they work brilliantly as a pair. Yeah, synergy was a biggie why I recommended it along with i... | |
| Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks Here’s a thread where Don Sachs and Lynn Olson, who designed the Raven preamp, go into detail about some of the development and technical design aspects of the preamp. Need to weed through it to find the various responses but interesting if you’r... | |
| Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp @audphile1 Got it, and thanks. Funny how impenetrable often coincides with unwilling/afraid to just use their own ears. 🙄 | |
| A budget turntable exploration Nice job resurrecting something for a very worthwhile and hopefully infectious cause! Let us know how the youngsters react to the “new” sound. Fortunately it sounds like you have a pretty low bar for comparison. Out of curiosity, how old are yo... | |
| Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp I hope this is helpful. @mdalton It’s not. There are others, like me, whose beliefs/experiences suggest that if you spend more than a relatively small amount of $ (i.e., $250 to $2,000?) on a streamer, you may be spending money on feature... | |
| A nightmare regarding streaming? Someone here recently inadvertently deleted an extensive playlist on Tidal, but he contacted Tidal and they were able to restore it so wouldn’t surprise me if Qobuz may have a backup of your playlists somewhere. Worth a try fer sure. | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? There will probably be many Zuckerberg-like, non-musician nerds getting rich from generating music through AI in the future, and some of it may even be good. Good for them I guess, but I’ll never respect or wanna meet them, and I’ll damn sure nev... | |
| Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp Or maybe someone who has spent a lot of time with streaming tech, has a good system with lots of options, and a good ear. Soix is probably right when he says the majority agree with him, but this is a self selecting group. @jji666 Yup, a se... | |
| Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks Given what you’re looking for my top choices (in no particular order) would be the MP-3, Spatial Audio Raven, Aric Audio Motherload XL, and Backert Rhumba Extreme and don’t think you could possibly go wrong with any of them and believe several off... | |
| Any experience with SVS 3000 Micro Have you played with speaker placement to mitigate room issues? I think the SVS SB1000 Pro is a better (and cheaper) sub than the 3000 Micro and isn’t all that much bigger. The REL doesn’t go all that much lower than your speakers but may still he... | |
| Upgrade Digital Cable Review And here they are ^^^^. Ignorance is bliss. | |
