| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? @sheldonbsmith, at the risk of appearing petty, though without electrical cross-overs, the Ohm Wash driver does have mechanical cross-overs, unlike the similar German Physiks DDD driver, though the DDD is not full range.@realworldaudio, with prope... | |
| FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED @gone..."lunatic Libertarian faction here."...Are you talking to me?@jwl244 BTW, I disagree with Gene re: 2/3 channels. While I understand his why, it fails to consider that the other channels might have different load demands. I'd rather bring th... | |
| FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED I think the current rules are too lax. The consumer deserves a truth in advertising code that actually helps with purchase of an amp for a given loudspeaker. | |
| Krill Fpb400cx vs Bhk250 The Krell FPB’s will handle low impedance speakers better than the BHK 250. | |
| New to streaming, looking for a budget streamer Alo DigiOne | |
| DAC's with volume control question Asking the manufacturer for a Voltage output isn’t too much to ask. I certainly would. Standard CD output via RCA is 2 Volts, standard HDCD output via RCA is 2.2 Volts. Not all manufacturers play by the rules. | |
| Holographic, 3D Solid State Amp under $6k Having not heard of any other complaints about wobbly Pass XLR’s, despite countless posts here on Audiogon about Pass Labs gear, raises serious doubts about such a claim. Ditto the hum issue. I think you a legitimate claim to get your restocking f... | |
| What are all these metal cans/pods sitting on top of electronics? I’ll hazard a guess that the “mass loading” has more to do with keeping these light little boxes from being pulled from their place by connected cords. | |
| DAC's with volume control question Ideally the DAC would have a max voltage output of 1.9 Volts. This would allow for maximum range of volume control and no chance of bit stripping, while still allowing your amp to provide all the power you paid for. You’re not likely to match that... | |
| DAC's with volume control question It can depend on the DAC and the sensitivity of your amp. | |
| Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ? Caveat: I’ve only heard these at shows. While both were excellent, on sound alone; I’d have to give the edge to the Gryphons. | |
| Amp and Pre-Amp suggestions needed I’m curious, what did Dale Harder recommend?What’s the impedance load, phase angle, sensitivity, power handling capability of the speaker? What is your room like? Do you have preferred musical genres? What other gear sound signature do you like? | |
| Building new system starting with power amp. What would you choose ? If my room changed and it required changing speakers, I’d probably change amps to match my new speakers. | |
| Building new system starting with power amp. What would you choose ? The room you have; might not be suitable for the speakers you're considering. The room might very well be the reason to reconsider a specific speaker for one that will work within it. | |
| Building new system starting with power amp. What would you choose ? Personally I would never start with an amp. If already knowing the budget and room: I'd start with speakers. That aside, and playing along, if I were to start with an amp already knowing the lone source and without a preamp, i.e. RTR deck,: I wou... |
