| QSA wall plates? I am always skeptical of audiophile companies that make big claims for their products but never post any specifications, tests, or even typical graphs of what their components do or how they improve things. These are UK grid units but whatever th... | |
| DENON 3800 red blinking protect mode It is very difficult or impossible to troubleshoot this just from a schematic. One thing is for sure, your power conditioner was not adequate for the surge that came though the line. When you get this system operational again, I would dump the c... | |
| MLAS 436 shipping carton? PS: I forgot to mention that any MLAS box you get for your amps will likely be in a similar decomposed state - those boxes aren't getting any younger. I never thought about this, but the best way to preserve them is painting them with a clear p... | |
| MLAS 436 shipping carton? My advice to you is this: Make the road trip. First of all, freight and insurance now is horribly expensive. I had to ship my speakers from CA to NY and I had to make the boxes as mine decomposed over the years. I spent a total of $6800 in fre... | |
| A free tweak revisited Yep, that is a psychoacoustic phenomena. You know where the sound is coming from and your eyes are far more objective than emotional whereas your ears are far more emotional than objective. Without your eyes confusing your mind about the sound f... | |
| Anyone familar with the EIZZ EZ-6012D Premium 12inch Tonearm ??? @solypsa Yes, you nailed it: 2K$ is a steal for a great tonearm and a fortune for a bad one. I would add it's a fortune for a mediocre one, too; hence my query posting. | |
| Difference between connecting five pin or RCA to CD player… Not really a loss, it depends on the quality of the cable and 5 pin DIN connector, so a DIN connector can be better than a lesser RCA. I have 5 pin DIN's on two high end tonearms, which are standard factory mounts. RCA's do give you more cable o... | |
| System set up in front of corner Vs flat wall - acoustical issues? The advantage of a corner placement for speakers is the corner and floor reinforce the bass, so you actually have more output in SPL terms. You can get too much, your ears will tell you this. If you have tall subwoofers, you get the effect the c... | |
| HPF LPF Settings Usually the subwoofer crossover is around 60 to 120 Hz, In your case, I would consider something around 80 to 100 Hz and see what sounds best. Trust your ears, you can always fiddle with it later after you set it. | |
| Weirdly Specific HUM issue The problem is not due to the fact equipment powered on, rather it is due to the fact it is plugged into the wall outlet, or in your case, the power conditioner. The problem arises due to the parasitic capacitance causing leakage current from li... | |
| A Cool Opportunity to Help Nice! Very nice! | |
| Why limit yourself to one streaming service? Yep! Indeed, anything goes in high end audio, so if you got the pennies to spend, then by all means, spend them! | |
| Planning to install diffusers but what's the point? That is not exactly correct. Most panels absorb sound, converting it into tiny amounts of heat, so the energy in the sound wave is dissipated and removed from the room. this is opposed to a glass window, which reflects the sound wave and causes... | |
| Top 5 Vinyl Recordings I think a better title for this thread is "The Best Five LP's in Your Collection"! With billions of recordings out there, it is impossible to determine which five are the best. Dang, it would be difficult for me to sort out the best five LP's in... | |
| Sound Approach, Yorktown VA If you had no issues with them the last time, then you should be okay this time around. You can check the BBB and see if there are any recent issues. |
