| New Rel Carbon Special Sub “Roars” when there is no signal! The 15A circuit ground still passes through the REL to the bonding. Fingers crossed. | |
| New Rel Carbon Special Sub “Roars” when there is no signal! Forgive me if I missed something but, As @sryeager noted you may have a ground loop between the two RELs. Plugging them both to the 20A line with an extension cord would be an easy check. An acoustic feedback loop with the amp unplugged is a n... | |
| Question on component impedance mismatch No volume control on the streamer? | |
| I have NOVA V's and I am not happy “I have tried every speaker placement you can think of, toe in, toe out. distance from front wall and I am adding acoustic treatments as fast as they can be shipped. “ “If I decide after all my room treatments that I am not a fan of the Sonus Fab... | |
| Is a highly discerning system enjoyable? Since discerning and emotive are not mutually exclusive, within a budget what drives my component selection? Fun with the music, then fun with the sound. I know when music takes control - involuntary movement, my spirit lifts and life is good. An ... | |
| I have NOVA V's and I am not happy Earlier this year I overcame similar symptoms - obvious non optimal acoustics, glare and a weak lower register. Fatigue at anything above background music. It wasn't a speaker thing (AZ CrescendoII) or an amp thing (Pass Labs), it was a synergy... | |
| Crimping tool? or | |
| Where does "MidFi" differ from "HiFi" or "LOFI"? Midfi is where I am, Hifi is what I can't afford, Lofi is where I started. | |
| What covid research can teach us about audio measurements. Our brains do a lot of correction, making sound into what we expect to hear, given our experiences. Some day we'll see how hard it works via brain scan. That could be a key measurement in ear fatigue vs relaxation. My analogy is another sense... | |
| From an MHDT to an Audio Mirror, quick impressions They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa! We now return to our regular programming. AM | |
| From an MHDT to an Audio Mirror, quick impressions @decooney Sounds like you and your six friends have fallen for the Orchid. I'm falling for the AM. Best wishes on your audio journey. | |
| From an MHDT to an Audio Mirror, quick impressions Nothing changed out but the DAC. Had the GE. Have Millard installed. Have used the Orchid with tube pre (Herron). Now Have Luxman integrated. Have tried cables. It’s a good DAC for the money, Has glare though. | |
| From an MHDT to an Audio Mirror, quick impressions The speakers and room sound fine with analog and the AM. It’s the Orchid. Sounds like your tube gear has a necessary synergy, | |
| From an MHDT to an Audio Mirror, quick impressions @decooney Thanks. Cutting to the chase, do you think all things being equal (room, cabling, source, gear, music, listener) will the caps eliminate glare from the Orchid when glare is not apparent with the AM or with analog? Would be a must hav... | |
| From an MHDT to an Audio Mirror, quick impressions @decooney Thanks for the heads up. I've tube rolled the Orchid including 6922 family to some effect. Per my last post the biggest reason for moving on from the Orchid was predominant glare. How is your output cap mod in that area? It would be... |
