| Meitner DAC 6-Roll call David nice to see you've made the move, I think you made the right choice with the source! I have a Meitner DCC2 ordered(the 2 channel DAC6, it also has a volume control and 2 analog inputs so it functions as a preamp as well) as well as the phili... | |
| Any hi-end Aussie speakers or electronics? Supratek is from down under | |
| Radiohead -Hail to the Theif Sounds great, I enjoy there music... Its just not the sort of music I can listen to over and over again- but from time to time its like going to a place far far away- I will be looking forward to hearing it, thanks for the heads up! | |
| Choking more SPL's out of Maggie 3.6's I have 3.6's in a similar sized room, and I can't hear myself sing- thank god! The amp I am using is a BAT VK-500w/bat pak, it seems to drive the speakers with aplomb. I think the previous posters hit all the technical reasons for whats' happening... | |
| Audio Aero Mark II--using balanced and unbalanced Mejames- Another possibility is if the amp you are running into isn't truly balanced you will not get the same gain from the XLR side of things. This is interesting I wish I had some way of testing it. | |
| Audio Aero Mark II--using balanced and unbalanced Mejames- how is that possible? XLR is typically 6dB higher at lower volumes, and that difference becomes less as the volume is increased. I have not tried it with my capitole II(no reason too) but I am curiuos- I would test it right now but my amp... | |
| "Best" cable elevators? Crazy4blues- Before the MkII you must make an "upgrade" for a small fee, something like new feet or an acoustic coating. Then after those sales slow come out with the mkII which is completely revolutionary- that's what microsoft did- though they d... | |
| "Parts upgrade" on crossovers -Any experiences? The first thing I would do is try to get a hold of KEF and see if they would be kind enough to send you a crossover schemetic, you never know what ideas you may get. Next I would go to audioasylum.com and visit the "tweaks" section and ask this sa... | |
| strobe light question I would rather put my faith in a lava lamp :o) | |
| Has anyone else noticed this about Mozart .... Pragmatist is right, Mozart lived a very interesting albeit short life. His influences changed through the years, he traveled through a lot of Europe and his sound changed with the different region he was in- or I should say was influenced by what... | |
| Equipment fetish More on fetishes hereIf nothing else its good for a laugh. We here at the audio comunity have serious problems and should all seek psychological help, what we do is not normal. | |
| Mail Boxes Etc. now to be called the UPS Store Yea, but John try dropping off 300+lbs. of speakers at the post office and see how far you get ;) they are good for smaller items but when you need to ship heavy stuff you have to go else where. | |
| floorstanders on carpet over concrete I think you could try slabs under the speakers but that doesn't usually remedy too much, more of a tweek then a tuning device. I think your problem could be room related and bass traps are an option, helmholtz resonator's(aka room lens) could work... | |
| Mail Boxes Etc. now to be called the UPS Store That's kind of a shame, I dealt with Mail Boxes a few time and it may have been expensive they were GREAT, a real shame :( Maybe UPS will be able to keep it up- though I am skeptic. | |
| Who has the oldest speakers? Gosh mine are about 6 months old and I am told that is a long time for an audiophile to keep a pair of speakers ;) |
