| Dated but still A rated DACs Years ago I bought a second generation Cambridge DacMagic from a dude who said he liked it but it could use a better power supply. I liked it because it had 2 SP/DIF inputs (used for cd player and streamer) and balanced outs, 3 filter options, bla... | |
| Best subwoofer below 40Hz for Magnepan .7? My Schiit Loki is usually in its bypass mode, but if a recording lacks treble energy (or "Fletcher Munson Curve" based late night low volume tweaking is necessary) the highest frequency (8kHz) adjuster will bring sparkle in, and really get the cym... | |
| Best subwoofer below 40Hz for Magnepan .7? Now that I've researched the Antimode 8033 I might have to get one someday as it's small enough to fit in my rack…note that my aforementioned ego won't allow me to retract my seemingly endless arguments against these things, so I won't say anythin... | |
| Best subwoofer below 40Hz for Magnepan .7? I understand how "digital nannies" work, I've experienced them firsthand (a friend who produces some of the concerts I mix is an early adopter of an Antimode), and will assume the esteemed willemj and additionally steamy mister Squires have not tr... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. I forgot to mention that the comment I just posted was meant only for georgehifi, and others were not invited to chime in although now it's too late. | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. And what exactly is the foreseeable future? If it's foreseeable it's not the future, unless you can actually see it or maybe hear it coming (this isn't forecasting…that's more of an art form). And you CAN have too much power so hey…turn it down. N... | |
| Best subwoofer below 40Hz for Magnepan .7? Unclemode? For 150 bucks I highly recommend a Shiit Loki EQ, as long as you don’t need a balanced thing…or you can loop it…in any case, unlike a digital EQ that’s on all the time making decisions for you (unless it’s off), this thing has 4 bands t... | |
| Best subwoofer below 40Hz for Magnepan .7? Used RELs…I have 2 that cost 200 bucks each, and they're great…a Q150e (10"), and a Q108II (8"). Killer, go well below 40 hz (note that the fundamental tone of a low E note on a string bass is 41hz, although higher harmonics are also there for you... | |
| Morrow IC's I'm not certain that Morrow cables are the best thing out there or that they sound better than the solid core AQ cables I've been using for years, and this is mostly because when I bought the Morrows I was changing my amp/preamp setup and speakers... | |
| Schiit Vidar Monos or Adcom GFA-565se or Rotel RB-1582 MKII I love it when a thread kicks off with such gusto. I'm surprised that the Vidar amps and Freya preamp (I have one of those, as well as a Loki EQ) haven't received any major audio magazine reviews (although Steve Guttenberg has some positive video ... | |
| Stereo Subwoofer Pairing Note that one should try listening with the subs and main speakers placed well out into the room while you wedge yourself into a corner to listen. This might seem ridiculous, but as an audiophile (and hey…aren't we all?) you should try everything ... | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? I refuse to continue to respond to this thread and I encourage readers to pretend this refusal doesn't exist as responding by noting you're not responding is responding, and therefore a paradox. | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? If there was no entry level many would have to sneak in, and I'm now far more worried about the exit level. Also, is it me (don't answer that) or am I imagining recent articles in audio mags regarding cool "one box does it all" integrated amps wit... | |
| General Initial Impressions--Genalex Gold Lion KT88 Reissue I meant "they're"…I hate typos. | |
| Why are there no botique car audio recievers? Somehow the "premium" systems (power, subs, blah blah) in both my '09 BMW and new turbo Mini work well, with the MINI using only bluetooth signals (a cable from my phone is required for the BMW, although calls are wireless…weirdly). Both cars have... |
