| Frequency response while streaming stops at 15kHz- did I miss something in the fine print? Try a signal generator and see what your upper limit of hearing is. Bet you can't hear 15k at all. Moot point. | |
| Are Pre-Amps necessary? Thanks for all the great discussion.The collective knowledge of this forum is fantastic. | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? Bluesound Node is a great product. Use cable, not Wi-Fi. I never have connection issues. Their DAC is kinda weak but an external one will fix that. The actual digital stream from any device will all be exactly the same. Like a copy of your word d... | |
| Why do amplifiers sound different? Oh one more thing, Just look at what a typical solid state amplifier says in their power rating. 150 watts into 8 0hms and 250 watts into 4 ohms. They are telling you that thier output will vary depending on the impedance. That's why amplifiers so... | |
| Is The FM tuner obsolete? This kind of reminds me of the relevance of "recievers".A preamp or variable output DAC could take over this function too. | |
| Is The FM tuner obsolete? I don't this the FCC will eliminate the FM band anytime soon but at some point, stations will not be able to justify pumping out 100K watts into the air.It's so much more efficient to do an internet steam and reach millions of actual listeners!I h... | |
| Is The FM tuner obsolete? KCSM in San Mateo is part of the community College which has a degree in broadcasting. I support them every year. Their signal only reaches the peninsula. Maybe 1,000,000 so a pretty small amount compared to the expense to broadcast the signal for... | |
| Is The FM tuner obsolete? Well summed up ghdprentice.Our local jazz station has fund raisers several times a year. I am a local subscriber and would like it to continue. Being able to listen in the car is my motivation to contribute. When home, it's streaming all the time... | |
| Is The FM tuner obsolete? In the US the FCC dictates the airwaves. My local Jazz station KCSM, struggles to maintain a high quality signal. Just running the electricity to power the transmitter is costly to reach maybe 100k listeners in the area? Economics will eventually ... | |
| Tornado and Thunder Power Cables As an electrical engineer I always wonder about the choices people make in searching for better sound. I will state that the power supply is where the magic begins. A robust well designed PS is key. Most quality equipment has that. What happens be... | |
| cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl. The reason cassette recorders were popular was because they could record and store music. They were the best available technology at the time. Does anyone remember when you could record music on your VHS recorders? | |
| McIntosh MC2300 as a sub amp Thanks for your comment.I used the 2300 years ago as a main amp. It then started to develop more AC hum so i parked it.Did the full recap last year but bought a MC452 for the main speakers and using the 2300 for a 15 inch with 2 15 inch passive r... | |
| Need a DAC Recommendation. Toppings makes great products. There is a review by Amir that he reviewed the schiit DAC and found some flaws. He worked with the company and they made changes to improve their product. Facts are facts. Measurements are Measurements Enough said | |
| Radio Paradise to Stream MQA to Blue OS I agree with you on that. The format does not guarantee a good recording, it's the recording that makes 99% of the difference. | |
| New Topping D90SE DAC Thanks to everyone for their comments and impressions. I'm still very happy with my D90SE. I have stopped spending money on upgrades, at least for now. Mc452 took a few dollars out of the audio budget for sure. Just kicking back and finding more ... |
