| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? In September of 2021, Alvin told me that the problem was "likely caused by the FIFO buffer overrun". Here is an explanation of an overrun from the Cisco website support pages (bold emphasis mine): Q. What are overruns on a serial interface? ... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? @atp001 With respect to the topic of this post and the issue I personally experienced, the firmware appears to have corrected the problem. Thus logically, it was a software related issue. Has it done so for every user that experienced issues... | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's The selection of a speaker stand must fulfil only two core criteria: raising the tweeter so that, ideally, the tweeter is level with your ear (very few users do this and hence very few users achieve the full sonic potential) and protecting the sp... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? I have been playing my Pontus II with the new FPGA firmware update for about a week now and I can confirm that the random pops/ticks I was experiencing are now absent. This mirrors my experience with upgrading the firmware on my Ares II. So it se... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? THE POLL WINNERS: Barney Kessel with Shelly Manne and Ray Brown Excellent Japanese CD recording on Contemporary Stereo | |
| What are some good things to do when going to an audition Yes, bring your own CDs. If the dealer has a versatile set-up, request a room size that is closest to your own. Also, if you have space restrictions at home, request that the speakers be placed approximately the same distance from the wall. If yo... | |
| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? As a long time user of (small gauge) Audience speaker cables, I am skeptical. I have tried highly regarded, larger gauge cables (e.g. PAD, Inakustik, etc.), and have always returned to Audience. I am not arguing that thinner gauge is better, but ... | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's Yogi or Whipsaw- should I use some form of protection on the top of the extended tenon ? I don't want to damage the bottom of the speaker. Maybe some form of protective coating or thin rubber top ? I used nothing, and there were no marks on th... | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's Does anyone have the dimension of the extended tenon on the TonTragers ? I’ll take a stab from memory alone: ~20mm high and 20mm wide | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's if insulting me does help, please have at it. If you take at as an insult that I am pointing out the absurdity of your claim, that’s on you. There are many characterizations of the TonTragers, including negative ones, that would not be hyperbo... | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's "the TonTraegers look hideous" ... Also, my opinion is not hyperbolic. 🤣🤣🤣 | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's @grislybutter Yes, of course it was implied that it was your opinion. The question that I was attempting to get at is what value you might possibly add to a conversion by calling a design that a high percentage of Harbeth owners happen to find a... | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's To each his own. But if they’re not to your liking, you felt compelled, at least in this instance, to assert that they’re "hideous"?! 😂 | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's @akg_ca Thank you. To be clear, I was happy with the TonTragers, and do believe that they are well-designed to compliment Harbeth speakers. My pedantry stems primarily from my experiences with isolation devices under speakers, which, when proper... | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's I used TonTrager with my 30.1, and they were excellent. They also looked very attractive (the photos posted is not a good one to judge by). But let's be clear about something: the speakers are not decoupled from the stands. |
