| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers @yyzsantabarbara I actually talked to Danny a few days ago at AXPONA. I'm not really listening to my headphones at all. I sold my VM-1a but still have my headphones. I also used convolution filters with my RAAL headphones. They were also custom ma... | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers Thanks to both of you for your advice. I assumed this would be most people's opinions here. Usually less and simple is best. Speakers are my last upgrade to my system (Yeah, I know they should be first) but the decision and selection is more diffi... | |
| AXPONA 2025 @hbarrel I don't think they had the Frigg 02 in the room. I listed to the Icon 12 twice and they sounded great! The bass on these speakers is at another level but they are $23,400. | |
| How do I connect my speaker cables to this Coda Amp WBT terminals that Coda uses are some of the best! | |
| Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors Good surge suppression is a MUST for expensive high-end equipment. Even a power conditioner can tremendously help some systems. I just replaced my stock power cable on my Puritan Audio PSM-156 with a new Shunyata - Theta XC Power Cable ($1000 cabl... | |
| How to find local audiophiles @wsrrsw I'm in North Sac so not too far from you. | |
| Who has gone fully active? What speakers and preamp did you end up with? @erik_squires You need at least a 10-1 ratio between the amp and preamp in normal situations but I’m unsure about active amps in speakers. I wouldn’t think it would be any different. I would think 10k Ohms wouldn’t be a problem for most preamps. M... | |
| Who has gone fully active? What speakers and preamp did you end up with? @patrickdowns I have heard the Dutch and Dutch and they sound good BUT they are DSP based and if memory serves me right, they down sample everything down to 64 khz. I also didn't like the fact that they needed a connection ran between both speaker... | |
| Ø Audio anyone? @alexbpm Guttenberg has also previously said he will NEVER give something a bad review. You really need to read between the lines on his reviews to figure out what he means. It's all about the $$$ with these reviewers because they know if they bit... | |
| Linear Tube Audio version 3 of the MicroZOTL pre @wrm57 LTA has never offered truly balanced gear. It was just transformers to make it compatible. Not sure how big of a deal it is though. | |
| Need to learn about Audio Research Audio Research (AR) was really the main brand to originally be used for Demo's of the Magneplaner's. AR and Magnepan had a collaboration when they first started selling their speakers. I remember going to audio shops back in the 70's and those 2 b... | |
| Help needed to make system better, please @sputz I’m using a BAT VK-80 preamp on my system and couldn’t be happier. I came from a Holo Audio Serene KTE preamp that was very transparent, and it was good in its own right. Going to this tube preamp was a big jump for me. Using it with my Cod... | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? 85-90 | |
| Audible illusions need Balanced output Or BALANCED Audio Technology (BAT). Their preamps are excellent! | |
| AXPONA AND SWAF SOUTHWEST AUDIO FEST WHO IS GOING? Would love to meet yall! @dweller You get free water at your hotel and bring the bottle to the show. No need to pay $10/bottle for water. There is no dealing with Illinois. I get off the plane at the airport and take an Uber to my hotel next to the show for 3 days. What's... |
