| What does your Virtual System page say about you? OP: Yes, I listed my components in order of importance - to me. Clean power is the fuel for the system. High Octane = High Performance. | |
| Forward Sounding Speaker Crossover Components - Suggestions? An excellent source for advice and caps is Michael Percy Audio. | |
| My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms This thread discusses a similar problem. | |
| Using both balanced and single ended outputs at the same time? Some visitors to this thread might not understand that there are two types of circuits in stereo audio components: ’single-ended’ and ’balanced’. Single-ended is also known as as SE. An RCA connector is used on a ’single-ended’ circuit. An RCA co... | |
| Would like to get more bass out of my B&W 801 series 2 speakers Is your listening chair in a null? Have you walked around the entire room to determine the room nodes: the peaks & nulls of the bass? A drawback of a full-range floorstander is that the LF woofers are in a fixed position. That’s why some peop... | |
| Speaker hum from Subwoofer Possibilities: - If the sub is plugged into a different circuit, plug it into the same one as the Luxman. (Same circuit not same outlet.) - Are any of the interconnects unshielded. Check routing to make sure they’re not crossing over a power cor... | |
| Cayin D30 DAC outperforms Weiss, Playback, CH and MSB Thx for this post. This D30 DAC isn’t displayed yet on Cayin’s website. Another discovery . . . I tend to suspect the quality / materials used in the power supply yields a bigger impact on the final SQ, than any of the “modern” digital technolog... | |

| BS meter is pegged! OP: I think you’re on to something. This marketing BS. The laundry soap manufacturers on daytime TV promote new & improved detergents every six months. My clothes will feel softer and smell fresher - better than ever - if only I would buy the ... | |
| Billie MK3 Pre order and Price!! Hmmm. I wonder if the cost of his parts went up. Maybe the machining for the new casework is higher. Perhaps, a different design and production run of modular circuit boards. He doesn’t have the same purchasing power for volume discounts as his bi... | |
| Warm, flexible, cheap-ish cables? Warm, flexible, cheap-ish cables? Cerious Technologies Graphene Extreme is exactly what you've described. They're relatively flexible - but not around tight corners. The later models: Matrix & Luminscape are more detailed. Not what you w... | |
| New Amp Advice Hard to describe specific improvements I’m looking for, maybe wider soundstage and better imaging Speaker placement and listening chair placement have much influence over soundstage and imaging. It can take weeks of trial & error - moving b... | |
| What actually determines volume power? Is it watts? This discussion is informative. | |
| Question about high current amps versus "not high current amps" @gregm +1 High current is shorthand for delivering more current on demand. The P=IE formula remains the same. An imperfect analogy would be gas engines. A Ford F-350 will go 60 mph. A Ford Fiesta will also go 60 mph. When towing a trailer wi... | |
| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? My new discoveries are from the past. Jazz and Classical. For some reason, the 4 inch speakers in my Pontiac Tempest convertible didn’t do them justice. 🤔 If I had a time machine, I’d be visiting the recording of ’The Great Summit’ with Louis Arms... |
