| Roon Aquisition: Will This Help Or Hamper? From one company kown for poor customer support to another company known for poor customer support. | |
| Thiel Owners Toe in will typically increase direct high frequency, but decrease reflected high frequency. Reflected high frequency can be more objectionable. A tiny bit of toe in can offer some compensation for limited available listening distance. For example... | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? This has been discussed ad nauseum here on Audiogon. Low impedances can lower sensitivity which can make amps work harder to produce power and increase amp distortions. The degree to which the amp distorts due to this depends on the stoutness of t... | |
| To loom or not to loom? Using a "looms" can be good for getting base lines. From there trying cable changes between one pair of components at a time may suggest particular compatibility or incompatibility preferences between specific components. Not doing so could make ... | |
| Oppo UHP 205 Universal Player One review I saw suggested that menu / user interface of the Magnetar was a bit clumsy compared to the Oppo. They do look very similar. I’m only guessing, but I’d imagine the extra weight of the Magnetar might have some benefit. | |
| How well does Tidal through Roku work? The cable choices aren’t the biggest concern, but of some interest. I’m moslty interested in how well the Roku delivers Tidal audio quality? Use case: Roku Ultra > HDMI > TV > HDMI or optical > Oppo 205 > RCAs > analog audio l... | |
| Oppo UHP 205 Universal Player FWIW, the Oppo 205 uses the ESS 9038PRO chip for the 2 channel output and another ESS 9038 pro chip for the surround outputs. The Magntar 9000 uses a ESS 9038PRO chip for the 2 channel output but a lesser ESS9028PRO chip for the surround ouputs. | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? Not particularly important to me. | |
| Value of a preamp? I don't understand the question. | |
| Thiel Owners FWIW, I personaly really like the bottom mounted cable posts. IMHO, they are an elegant solution to what otherwise would be a daily eye sore. Furthermore, it mitigates connectivity issues from curious children and pets, and the lessening of slack ... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel Thanks for the prompt response. Most encouraging!:-) | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, In your 1-16-2024 post you inidcated that your planned upgrades for the CS 3 and CS 3.5 would include the midrange and tweeter drivers of the CS 3.6. With this implementation will you be able to keep the minimum impedance of the CS 3 an... | |
