| The end of physical media is neigh This news is enough to make me want to whinny. | |
| 2-way design vs. 3-way design means ? My understanding is that a 2 1/2 way runs the middle speaker full range (at least it does in the Wilson Benesch world). The woofer receives a low pass signal and the tweeter a high pass signal from the crossover, but the midrange is direct coupled... | |
| What % Of Your System Are Your Cables? Putting together a loom of Empirical Design. It will be less than 5% when finished | |
| Do you have a perfect digital marriage? Roon Nucleus Plus via USB to Playback Designs USB-X4 via P-link to PBD MPD-8. I can finally enjoy digital but I still prefer my analog rig. | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? Roon Nucleus with a nice LPS? | |
| An audio component you just can't let go 30 yo VPI 19 Mk IV turntable. Modified with a SOTA Total Eclipse standalone motor assembly and modified suspension. I know it has a well bearing and relatively small (11 inch/16 pound) platter, but its lead/delrin/cork construction sounds nice en... | |
| Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker +1@sounds_real_audio Started with Wilson Benesch Trinitys and replaced with Vectors 6 years ago. 2.5 way design with sublime midrange. Smaller cabinet than others of equivalent performance because of carbon fiber design. | |
| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear Define vintage. Is it like cars where 25 years old qualifies for an "antique" license plate? | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Another small cable manufacturer that I have faith in is Empirical Design. Been in business for years, doesn't advertise, all word-of-mouth. | |
| ÜnStock Nice. I was thinking audio, but cars are also interesting... | |
| Streamer between Roon Nucleus Plus and DAC @verdantaudio Thanks for the additional details. I believe the PBD USB-X4 is identical to the circuitry in the MPS-X and should provide the same benefits of clock synchrony and noise reduction. If this is true, then the signal from the MPS-X sho... | |
| Streamer between Roon Nucleus Plus and DAC @audphile1 Playback Designs has a proprietary system that is built into some of their source devices but is also available free-standing. It accepts a USB input and converts it to an optical signal called PLINK, which uses an ST cable and connects... | |
| Streamer between Roon Nucleus Plus and DAC I believe my DAC is good enough. I am curious as to whether or not I can feed it a better signal than directly from the Nucleus Plus. Of note, the optical interface only accepts USB. | |
| Discerning a positive or negative change in a system And I recognize that some changes that make me smile at first can make me cringe later... | |
| Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio I run the Audiokinesis distributed bass array. I found this article, recommended by Duke LeJeune, to be helpful for placement of multiple subs. Tried to post a link but it kept including the entire 30 page pdf. So Duck Duck Go cut and paste:... |
