| how is digital sound created? If the OP means electronic music or sounds, then I suggest looking up the history of digital synthesizers and FM synthesis.At its most basic, sound (and music) can be modeled as the sum of sine waves of different amplitudes and frequencies. This i... | |
| Klipsch Forte III verses Heresy IVs A vote for the Forte as well. | |
| Integrated / speaker pairings in the $6-7K range Ayre and Vandersteen.I think a used AX-7e and the 2Ce Sig III’s would be a great match.In the past I had the AX-5 Twenty powering 3A Sigs. | |
| Why audio streamers are so much more expensive than video streamers? The Raspberry Pi is a great audio streamer. I use it much more often than a disc player these days. I don't see a need to spend too much on this aspect of the playback chain, but it is a hobby after all. | |
| Simple, Inexpensive, but Decent Headphone System AKG K371s. Excellent sounding, relatively inexpensive, sensitive enough to be driven by a phone, titanium coated conventional drivers. | |
| Purchase of used Quatro wood ct. Looking for set up advice. Try using the procedure in the Vandersteen manual first, p.7.https://www.vandersteen.com//media/files/Manuals/Quatro%20CT%20Manual%202018%20copy%20030621(1).pdf | |
| Help with Audience "The ONE" The Ones seem to have a tipped up midrange and treble - no change in amp will really fix that problem. Hopefully you can move back to the B6s. If you can't, then using EQ if you have that option would probably be the next best thing. Try cutting t... | |
| Integrated Amps - another thread... An Ayre AX-7e would do quite nicely. Solid state but reminiscent of tubes. It’s only available used.For something different, you could consider swapping the Modi / Brio combo with the RME ADI-2 Fs DAC ($1299) and a well engineered amp based on the... | |
| Your thoughts on active loudspeakers Mesanovic RTM10 ($7499 / pair) might be worth a listen. Spinorama (CEA 2034) measurements look really good. https://www.mesanovicmicrophones.com/rtm10 | |
| Esoteric SA-50 Cant figure out how to adjust volume........ Looks like I found the SA-50 manual online. Turn to p.20 for how to enter the setup menu then p.22 to set the attenuator function ("ATT" menu choice).Hope this helps. | |
| I knew I shouldn’t have thrown my Electrical Engineering text book in the campus pond! There’s no good reason to swap out a power supply if it’s functioning properly. As for linear power supplies vs. switching power supplies, I suggest reading the following link:https://benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/application_notes/152143111-audio-myth... | |
| Gustardx26 pro vs RME ADI2FS Hey all and especially @jjss49, I owe you an apology for acting like a jerk in my previous posts. I should’ve written my original reply to the OP more clearly. I can certainly see how I caused confusion given how it was worded.@bruce and @jjss49 I... | |
| Gustardx26 pro vs RME ADI2FS @jjss49 No, I know what I’m talking about. @recluse was trying to show that transformers make a difference in sound - except that the Gustard has transformers only in the power supply. Hence, they can’t really ’shape’ the sound as you say since th... | |
| Gustardx26 pro vs RME ADI2FS Folks, I'm talking about the links @recluse posted.They refer to output transformers. Geez. | |
| Gustardx26 pro vs RME ADI2FS The transfomers referred to in that article are output transformers, not power transformers. They will affect the sound because they are coupling the output tubes to the speaker.Linear power supplies are noisy too. They can sometimes cause hum or ... |
