| Subwoofer: Watts or Brand Name? REL pioneered the speaker level connection for better integration, but these days many other manufacturers have followed them.From what I could find, the Energy S10.3 is not a particularly bad subwoofer at all. In my experience the sound quality... | |

| DAC Suggestions Please Thanks for the irony. No, the Oppo does something else as well: it plays discs. Also, its DAC certainly measures better than the one in the Chromecast Audio, and in fact it measures very well indeed.To give some background to my post, however, it ... | |

| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc See here for a serious test of the 2x350 watt Yamaha P3500s: http://www.homecinema-fr.com/forum/amplificateurs-de-puissance-haute-fidelite/mesures-ampli-yamaha-p...I recently bought the 2x250 watt P2500s for my son, and it is as good as any high e... | |
| Subwoofer: Watts or Brand Name? The Harbeths are great, of course, and pretty stunning with a subwoofer. (done it). I have two suggestions. The first is to get a DSpeaker Antimode 8033 room eq unit, and the second is to go for two small subs rather than one large one. With your ... | |
| Stereo Guy - Need advice on HT integration All you need is to use the digital outputs from your TV, (UHD)BD player or set top box into a decent DAC and you are done as long as two channel HT is fine with you. In fact, you can even do this using the inbuilt DACs of your sources, provided yo... | |
| From KEF 103.2 to Harbeth 30.1 and back....Your advice sought. 55 wats per channel is not much if you want gutsy dynamic sound. Try e.g. to borrow a 2x200 watt amp and see if you hear a difference - I bet you will. My son is planning to buy the M30.1 and I bought him a 2x250 watt Yamaha P2500S to drive them. | |
| Best subwoofer below 40Hz for Magnepan .7? This is what The Absolute Sound had to say about the Audiokinesis Swarm (and it seems to make sense): https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:vtIuKJVOkCoJ:https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2018/02... | |
| Strange sounds coming from my speakers. Well done. Even if the amplifier may not have seen that much use, replacing the elektrolytic capacitors could still be a wise precaution, if you can find an affordable maintenance engineer. Personally I would not bother with the cd player. Either ... | |
| Best subwoofer below 40Hz for Magnepan .7? From what I understand the Loki is a Baxandall type tone control, covering a pretty wide range, whereas a system like the Antimode (or an REW corrrection curve) is a very precisely targeted precision weapon. And it is very small indeed. Mine just ... | |
| Ethernet Cable Ethernet cables do not have a sonic signature as Jinjuku here demonstrated: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/most-important-unloved-cable/post?postid=1485901#1485901 | |
| Newbie needs Streamer Advise But why not use the existing Yggi as a DAC? | |
| Best subwoofer below 40Hz for Magnepan .7? The Antimode does a detailed analysis of the peaks, and then applies precise parametric equalization with 28 or 36 filters, i.e. it reduces the peaks targeted at precisely the required frequency, and with as narrow a range and as much amplitude as... |
