| DAC break-in question @katzenjammer27 l have just purchased a new Denafrips DAC and was informed they ‘run-in’ it in for 100 hours prior to delivery. I think this is also a very good quality control move to ensure everything meets specifications and avoid any QA issu... | |
| Upgrade or Downgrade Changing Bel Canto 3.7 For New Denafrips Pontus 15th? @dickieboy That should guarantee integration but I have tried the PS Audio and didn't love the sound and for just $300 more I can get a new Pontus 15th which is really an improved Venus 12th that's almost as good as end game Terminator. But a se... | |
| Upgrade or Downgrade Changing Bel Canto 3.7 For New Denafrips Pontus 15th? @ucrazykid You are right in what you say but my SACD playback limitations are confusing. The Onkyo is only present in my system as it will play SACDs as a 'native' SACD player outputting an already decrypted digital signal to the Bel Canto throu... | |
| Upgrade or Downgrade Changing Bel Canto 3.7 For New Denafrips Pontus 15th? Thank you for that advice I will try to trial if possible. | |
| SVS SUB BETTER WITH LOW PASS FILTER OFF I have the Arendal subwoofer and set the bypass at 10hz -15 hz above the floor of my main floorstander speakers that go down to 35hz. I read somewhere that 10hz above the low was a good place to start. I too switch the low pass 12hz filter off, as... | |
| Please explain mono @bdp24 makes an interesting point, most live events are mixed in a mono fashion (there is sometimes a little panning in the PA system, but it is primarily mono to ensure the audience hear the ‘same’ concert). So when you go to gig the ‘live’ sound... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh While there will be some consolidation (usually marketing, finance, legal, HR, I doubt they will risk losing made in USA and Italy manufacturing given current situation between US and China) I wouldn’t see this as an asset striping exercise either... | |
| New Eversolo DMP-A10 No I2S is a major ommision in preamp DAC at this price point and the non-standard IS2 is a non argument when other DACs make that an irrelevance with various pinout choices easily selected to suit partnering. Apart from that personal showstopper i... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? I have recently bought a new sub from Arendal, their 1723 1S. They are a Norwegian direct to consumer manufacturer with distribution in Chicago (I believe) in the USA. They offer a range of both speakers and subwoofers that all come highly recomme... | |
| The Psychology Of Collecting Until recently, with the arrival of streaming, collecting and listening to your personal choices in music was really only possible through physical media. Hence, we ended up with physical music collections, Frankly, I don’t see this behavior as be... | |
| Music first or sound first? A catch 22 question as both are important. We probably all fell in love with music first as that is what communicated to us and continues to touch us in a deep way. Then we were exposed to that music being played on a HiFi set up and what grabbed ... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue The reasons why so many musicians mention these albums? Firstly, that Joni Mitchell’s Blue used many unique guitar tunings and sounds while also being such a highly emotional and autobiographical album. It communicated in a highly sophisticated, ... | |

| Musical subwoofer under $2000 @soix thanks again for your advice I'll go the cheaper route as I understand the x2 route will be better. | |
| Musical subwoofer under $2000 @saboros thank you for that input. I'm really torn between the two right now, but I think I like the Arendal better, so this helps. |
