| XLR cable placement Easy! Put it between the DAC and the preamp and listen to it for one week, then move it to the other location and listen to it for another week. If you still can’t make up your mind then the location doesn’t matter. You can’t lose. Good luck and h... | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List @thecarpathian I think you got confused way before that if you think you are providing a public service correcting spelling and grammatical errors on the internet. No one cares besides you. | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List @thecarpathian I said we counting the other posters like @fthompson251 who said: “I am forever thankful to Terry for his pointing me to the Coda S5.5.I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!”. I am not the only one who thinks you should let go and frankly should h... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS @ghdprentice +1 | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List @devinplombier Oui, oui. I know. Looks like my spellchecker sneaked it in on me and I was half asleep at midnight. Thanks. ‘My point to @thecarpathian is that no one cares. We don’t read Terry’s reviews for his prose but because we appreciate... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS @mswale Physics is physics, and math is math. Those are usually not open to debate. Sorry, but you couldn’t be more wrong. Science is always open to debate. That’s why most of what we know about physics today is called scientific theories... | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? @steakster Which position is the right one? The most dramatic or the one that places the triangle where it was in the original recording? That’s the goal, right? Was it a live session? | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List @thecarpathian You still didn’t get it right. Yours is what is called in French, accent grave (è). What you want is an accent aigue (é). Criticizing is so much easier, isn’t it? | |
| If you HAD to purchase a used (over 4 years old) DAC, what would it be? @aberyclark I don’t have to. I like what I have. | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List Looks like we have some English teachers here who get seriously offended by grammatical and spelling errors. I understand their frustration. With spellcheckers and AI chipping at their jobs, they fear that soon they will be a dying breed. Funny th... | |
| How many subs? There is one device that can configure them for you in the frequency domain and in the time domain with the push of a button: DSpeaker 8033, up to 4 subs. I sold mine when I bought an AVR that could configure 4 subs but regret that I did now. The ... | |
| Synergistic Research FEQ Carbon @knockknock12 Thanks for the quick review. I am just curious, you said you heard BACCH but “there was also some L/R problems”. What exactly are you referring to? | |
| Meitner i upgrades @no_regrets I think the Premier is a little more resolving than the MA3 and also more dynamic. That’s probably what is being addressed in the update. If I knew about the update at the time, I probably would not have purchased the Premier. Howeve... | |
| Meitner i upgrades @no_regrets If I were to be honest, I would say upgraditis. I went to an MSB Premier. I could live with either one. I haven’t listed my MA3 yet. I probably will this week. Thanks. | |
| Meitner MA3 The MA3 is a good DAC/Streamer. I have one and have no issues with it. Sounds very organic and polite. It's not too far behind the company's ultra expensive model. I have replaced mine with a MSB Premiere because I can but could easily live with e... |
