| Schiit customer service seems poor https://forum.audiogon.com/users/jumia,If you're using both a Marantz 5014 and a NAD M17 into a Schiit Freya + than no one can help you. You seem to be complaining about something that is absurd. | |
| Schiit customer service seems poor Using a Magni as a pre-preamp is a way to boost the signal so there's not a dramatic difference in volume settings between source inputs. It might work for you. That's assuming you have your AVR's volume already turned up fairly high and you still... | |
| Schiit customer service seems poor I use a Schiit Magni 3 Plus for now. It has up to 12dB of gain so the DVD/Blu-ray player has about the right voltage going into the Freya S. I have the Freya’s volume control set at about 60% attenuated (13:00). With that setup I can adjust the vo... | |
| Schiit customer service seems poor Hi, jumia,Schiit does claim that...All of our preamps offer true home theater bypass. Just plug in your processor’s front channels to any input, select Passive mode, and turn the volume all the way up. Presto! 1:1 home theater bypass, with only a ... | |
| Impedance switches on a Jolida JD 9II Hi, idgmusic64,When I was experimenting with different gain and loading options with the JD9 I found that using a lower impedance setting (higher MC cartridge damping effect) would shift the tonal balance towards the bass frequencies. So the 70 Oh... | |
| What is an easy way to convert wav files to Flac? Hi, mribob,For music file conversions I use dBpoweramp, which has some useful metadata editing tools. Plus it’s a great CD ripper. It’s not free but it works really well and is highly regarded by a lot of audiophiles.I’m not sure how or why you en... | |
| Jolida JD-9 phono pre-amp dip switch settings Hi, dll,That chart at AudioKarma was the first version I created but it didn't include my name, the model of JD9 that it references, or that some settings are undocumented. An updated chart for the 2006 model is available here: https://gallery.aud... | |
| Modify Bluesound Vault Album Names with Metadata Editor Hi, llarry,I use MP3tag and it's very powerful, especially when you want to edit metatdata for more than one album at a time, for example, reformatting track numbers and names. It's also handy in finding errors in naming and numbering conventions.... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? diamonddupree, I wasn't aware that MiniDSP now samples up to 24/192. This changes everything! Actually, I've been considering purchasing a DSP setup to compare against the Loki Mini but was waiting until they could sample at the higher rate. ... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? diamonddupree, the Loki Mini tone control is very different than the MiniDSP in that the Loki keeps the signal in the analog realm while the MiniDSP uses a 24/96 digital sampling of the signal. The DSP route essentially offers what the Loki Min... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? diamonddupree , before you spend $3000 on an active crossover to experiment with sub integration, buy a $149 Schiit Loki Mini tone control. It’s a relatively cheap way to experiment with reducing the driver load on your Magico Mini II speakers. Yo... | |
| Measuring TT Speed Doh! That should be [1 + (-count/3600)] x RPM. | |
| Measuring TT Speed I replied to the OP already but I thought I'd add a comment about the calculations for platter speed from the KAB USA website. Please correct me if I have this wrong, but the platter speed calculation didn't mention that when the platter is runnin... | |
| Measuring TT Speed jsman, yes, it's the illuminated number icons that count. If there's drift, and you have a way to adjust platter speed, you can usually get the illuminated numbers to hold steady, plus or minus. I always make speed adjustments with the tonearm l... | |
| Measuring TT Speed jsman, if you're using the KAB strobe light (and the batteries are good) you should be seeing a series of numbers that correspond with the speed the platter is spinning. So assuming you've got your turntable set for 33.33 RPM you should see a "33... |
