| MQA is for chumps I did a quick ear test, from Tidal to QB and cancelled Tidal and bought a year of Sublime QB. I can tell you from my two ears and brain, I should have done this long ago.JT | |
| Melody Gardot, Live in Europe Thanks guys, I will put the suggestions on my audition list! | |
| Melody Gardot, Live in Europe Stumbled on her when looking for new music... I heard about 3 secs and knew she was the real deal. Lovely voice and some great backing. I thought it good enough to revive this older thread to try and get the word out to some who didn't know her l... | |
| All in One DAC/Pre/headphone amp vs Separates Oh my, I just had to revive this thread. The WA7 FF with tube supply is ANYTHING but thin to my ears. I have the HD800s, but prefer my modded HD650s warm, rich butter oozing from my ears.... MMMM Cookies!Not stock tubes, but hell, I don't even re... | |
| open headphones AND speakers = Wow Ya! Headphone will never give you taht very deep bass and with a little work and play, you can find some great, if unconventional sounds entering from within and without. Open headphones are a must for this Franken-voyage. :)Have fun enjoy the mus... | |
| open headphones AND speakers = Wow I revived this old topic because I do this sometimes, if you have a way to play with the delay a bit you can get some very interesting sound. I also hesitated to bring this up and did a search to see if anyone else has posted such sacrilege. lol | |
| Tekton DI Monitors Except that is should be called an, "upper mid array." P I made some, slight mods, wink wink... they were amazing from the start, but truly special now. I’m not going into what I did, but I spoke with Eric about it and told him what parts I change... | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! The best way to go about this might be to just list the names you think are a good value with price points and NOT mention the ones you think are not a less than stellar value.I agree you can't really list the ones you may think are grossly overra... | |
| Having a problem when HVAC system turns on and cuts my system off! Stick a voltage meter and see how much it sag. Might want to clean out computer power supply as well. This is the first thing I would try as well, you will need an old sweep style meter to see what’s going on, if anything.Also, you may have a bad ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @grannyring It also looks like https://www.hdplex.com/ has some interesting stuff that would work nicely.I found a way to shoot you a PM and have done so... it sure is not intuitive.... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @granny1) work on the DI toe in. Try no toe in at all and then a very slight toe in. I mean the slightest wee bit of toe in. This should help. I have them facing straight into the room at present, the are brighter hen toed in, so I went with the w... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @grannyring Yup, I leave it on, same with DACs or anything that time to stabilize... cept tube, that’s hell on heaters. :)I have no PC it that room yet, and it’s got the stock cord on it. Anyone have a conditioner and a decent cord lying around? I... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Ya mean it gets better??? ~Giggles~You were on of those I was referring too. ;) | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hello guys, just wanted to drop you a line. I got my TDAI 2170 in and have been playing with it a bit. The DI and it are magic, I sat there last night grinning like a fool. The chain was good, I pulled 10k worth of DACs decraps and amps out of the... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @sbayne I could not agree more... every piece of audio gear has some form of coloration/corruption. ;)@stfoth Yup. :) |
