| Muse TDA1793 DAC Good news, thanks for the update, be careful, you can spend more money rolling op amps than you paid for the dac. The most well thought of Burr Brown is a pair of OPA627, you would need an adapter and 2 op amps. Many like the LME49710/LME49720(497... | |
| Muse TDA1793 DAC This is a simple dac chip, contoller and op amp output. The only simple change would be to change the OPA2134 op amp, it in itself has a reasonalbe reputation and I have used it... If you want to do that, I would recommend an LME49720. It is a bit... | |
| Building a Music Server that will play all formats 100% agreement with DTC | |
| How important is the preamp? Completely agree with Muzikat... Do you own the Classe or are you just trying it? If you are trying it, you could probably find a quality integrated for the same pricepoint. When you get a better control piece than the old Marantz, your world will... | |
| Speaker height vs ceiling height Ihcho, There is no exact answer, If the speakers had an ever so slight tilt downward, you might get away with 5 ft to 5 1/2 ft, but in general I agree with Audioblazer. A boundry must be considered. Again, in general I would say 4 1/2 foot max. De... | |
| Speakers that are RAP music proof If you truly want Audiophile quality and I assume put some big power on your speakers, this is a tough question... I suppose Klipsh or maybe some old Altec's would typically handle it. Basically, look for the largest voice coils and highest crosso... | |
| Speaker Selection with "difficult" room Joe22ny1, Trying to get a handle on this room... 17' wide, 23' long. Speakers will be near one end with french windows on one side of the listening area and opens to a dining room on the other side of the listening area. Your seating position will... | |
| Speaker Selection with "difficult" room Will the speakers fire down the length of the room or across the width of the room? How far will you be sitting from your speakers? How loud do you listen? | |
| Budget DAC Every recommendation here is very good...At $150.00 you can't beat the Musiland Monitor 02US, it also will do all sample rates 16/44, 24/48 through 24/192 through all inputs spdif, toslink and even USB, it is surprisingly musical.The HRT sounds ve... | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? Hi Hifisoundguy, Go ahead and get some Focal 1027's, remove the crossovers and let me know how it goes. | |
| What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker... Not to get crazy here, I assume that you mean listening criteria not physical.#1 Tonal Balance#2 Soundstage (do they disappear)#3 Imaging (can I point to everything on stage)Then I assume mated with the right electronics that have synergy with the... | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable Thanks Zaikesman, As far as dampening the platter... As I stated, we manufactured an item called glasmat. It was 1/4 inch of glass with felt on both sides. The best platter dampening we did was dampening the bottom of the platter along with gluing... | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable Hi Zaikesman, Whether you think it is beneficial or not, thats what we did, never had any issues, dampening never hurts. We probably modded 50 or 60 tables over time. If I did one today for myself, I'd still do it. Thanks for the tip on the feet.... | |
| Best integrated for $500? Audio Refinement Complete. Very stable at 4 ohms, rated 50 to 8 and 90 to 4. Neutral, solid bottom, grainless on top. |
