| Hypex Ncore NC400 Wilsynet+1I unintentionally caught the Euro to Dollar at a favorable rate. I didn't get into casework so the whole project ran a little over $1300. I wouldn't be surprised if some shielding casework and higher end power cables would improve the ef... | |
| Sub best at high crossover? Impossible to question what your hearing or your taste in fidelity. I'm confused as to what your seeking here.I owned a DD 18 and now two DD 12plus. I've never tried running them or any other subwoofer system full out. I mistakenly ran the DD 18 a... | |
| HD Down Load compared to Analog. Orpheus, so there is no misunderstanding, I was suggesting you compare a specific remastering of Weather Reports "Heavy Weather" 45 RPM. not simply any 45 RPM.HD Tracks offers this recording in 176 and 88 24bit but it doesn't mention the Bernie Gr... | |
| Best Airplay Device Apple Extreme or Apple Time Machine which includes the Extreme wireless in conjunction with he Logitech Touch into a Metrum Acoustic DAC.I began with the Express. Regardless of what cable you use with the Express it is still a bandwidth choke point. | |
| Joule Electra VZN100 Replace with what? If you can repair an IEC socket you can build Hypex nCore 400 kits for less than most other used class D for your summer listening. Just be careful you slip into the dark side.VZN100 to ARC Ref 75, really? | |
| MerrillAudio Veritas Reviewed at Dagogo ["Mapman I suppose once an innovative cost effective product or technology catches on in the high end audio world, it is ripe for a big markup if its performance is competitive with much more expensive gear. Class D amps fit this bill perfectly. I... | |
| Experiencing Rowland M925 4-chassis reference amps A wonderful account, thanks for taking the time. | |
| MerrillAudio Veritas Reviewed at Dagogo What's with these prices?I've been enjoying the unique presentation offered by switching amplifiers beginning with the PS Audio HCA-2 long before Stereophile's bold Class A status review. I'm currently using a pair of nCore 400s which are by far t... | |
| HD Down Load compared to Analog. Digital and vinyl both have the potential to sound very good. I prefer to bitch about the degradation of the media after the initial recording process. Post production and compression takes incredible amounts of fidelity and dynamic range away fro... | |
| 802 diamonds with class d amp I would suggest not getting caught up in any equipment issues until you get a substantial handle on optimal speaker location within your room. Location formulas are a good starting point. This can take months of incremental movements and serious l... | |
| Need a Great Center? - Salk Sound with Avalons I'm not sure if this means anything but I recently blew two Eidolon tweeters (my fault). The similar tweeter on the Accuton retail for $250. From Avalon they're $500. I have no idea if Avalon has them custom made but if I were to guess I'd say the... | |
| Amp for Revel Ultima Salon 2 I think Jeff Rowland Design Group still uses the Ultima in their listening room. | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2 Audiolabyrinth, My first LOUD backline Bass system (before simple public address became sound reinforcment) was made up of two James B Lansing Scoops,http://www.google.com/search?q=JBL+scoops&client=safari&rls=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2 Ptss, It's impossible to intelligently disagree with the subjective negative comments here regarding either of the speakers you're interested in. First of all, both of these speakers systems are incredibly revealing of EVERYTHING upstream as well ... | |
| Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated You bought well in your YBA/ Audio Ref processor in its time. As to goals leaning towards digital audio I'd say you need both a modern processor as well as a good preamp with HT bypass. Some of the best digital audio is on Blueray unfortunately th... |
