| 10dB resonant peak at 40Hz Given your significant limitations and the severity of the issue I’d suggest looking into some form of room correction from the likes of DSpeaker, MiniDSP, etc. Best of luck in taming the beast! | |
| Bluesound You’d think they woulda beta tested this pretty major function before rolling out the update. Sorry, must be very frustrating. I guess the lesson is don’t do future updates until they’ve been out for a couple months. Hope it gets fixed soon. | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? Oh, so "audiophile" is about gear then. Well, this is exactly what Alan said. He has tons of real gear in properly treated rooms at his workplaces :-) For some reason I don't think they elevate cables off the floor. @mikhailark No, the point i... | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? Parsons has videos on youtube on his home gear and speaker setup. He owns pretty expensive stuff. @mikhailark I assume this is the YouTube video you’re referring to since it seems to be the only one out there. You gotta be kidding me! If this... | |
| Kickstarter project Why are you asking this here? | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? Vinyl. But you don’t need a $10k rig. That’s simply unnecessary! So is a Porsche. | |
| Power Cables <$500 for Digital Sources Is your desktop computer faster, dissipate less heat, screen seem sharper and colors start popping out when you user expensive power cord? Try it. Streamer is just an ARM computer. Comparing a multipurpose computer to a dedicated audio streamer... | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? Except Parsons knows about gear and sound way more than any audiophile. Or even whole bunch if them. @mikhailark You have no idea what he knows about high-end home audio gear, systems, or audiophiles. You just assume because he records/plays mu... | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? *the quote attributed to Alan Parsons is what I am referring to: “Audiophiles don’t use their equipment to listen to your music. Audiophiles use your music to listen to their equipment.” I don’t give a crap about Parson’s resume, he doesn’t get... | |
| LAIV Harmony @pynkfloydd Have you considered adding a dedicated streamer? Running USB direct from a PC may be significantly limiting your streaming sound quality. Just a thought FWIW. | |
| LAIV Harmony My biggest concern is the lack of a volume control. What is the recommended way to remotely adjust the volume without altering the sound signature of the DAC? @danager This passive pre was designed with you in mind… http://www.placetteaudio.c... | |
| Solid State Power Amps I have not followed this forum so I would not know. I apologize if it is annoying you. I’m interested in others opinions. Even your unhelpful one. Ok, here’s an opinion — pairing a $25k amp with a $5k preamp is stupid. Hope that helps. | |
| LAIV Harmony @koestner Glad to hear if went smoothly and that Laiv seems to be doing a good job standing by their products. Love to hear your thoughts once you have some hours on it. | |
| Looking for phono preamp advice in the $1000 - $1600 range Yeah, I was gonna recommend a used Herron VTPH or Allnic H1201 as either should be a substantial upgrade. Best of luck. | |
| Solid State Power Amps Especially at this level it really depends on what specific improvements you’re looking for and what sound characteristics are most important to you. Without that info this is just a pure crapshoot of recommendations of amps other people like tha... |
