| Acoustic Blanket for TV @jeter You are correct if I wanted to be rational. However, I now have 2 sources of amplification in my setup. I made the mistake of listening to the RAAL S1a ’earphones’ and have now been on a mission to find the perfect amp for it. The KRELL K-3... | |
| Hegel H390 vs Krell Vanguard digital integrates amps I did test my 2 external DACs with the KRELL and the Thiel CS3.7. I always preferred the AMT3SE with Class A power such as the CODA and the KRELL. However, I prefer the all Benchmark stack on the Thiel CS3.7 overall but when I had the KRELL on the... | |
| Hegel H390 vs Krell Vanguard digital integrates amps @luckrainbow63 First mistake you made is listening to me not many people who know me do. However, here are my thoughts. The price you are getting for the new KRELL seems good. I paid $7K for a demo unit but I was not going to haggle on this one fo... | |
| Acoustic Blanket for TV I just ordered an Owen Corning panel from these guys, 48" x 24" x 1". It has Guilford of Maine acoustic fabric.https://www.acoustimac.com/ | |
| Acoustic Blanket for TV Thanks guys. I have the benefit that I do not care what it looks like in my office. Trying the Owen Corning or a Wool blanket is cheaper than redoing my DSP. So I will give that a try first and see if that works with my existing Convolution files. | |
| Acoustic Blanket for TV A little bit of a surprise for me is that my Convolution DSP is now altered with this TV and blanket. I will need to redo the acoustic measurements to create new Convolution files. It actually seems like I need to turn of the DSP. However, I have ... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? Dave Matthews Band in San Francisco Golden Gate Park (I think?). I was dying for 2+ hours because I was with a group of females and they seemed to like the show. Only saving grace was Carlos Santana who showed up for the last 20 minutes and played... | |
| Acoustic Blanket for TV Someone DM'ed me to suggest I try a furniture moving blanket. So I am now trying out a $20 moving blanket from HomeDepot. I have folded it a few times to gain additional absorption. So far it sound good. | |
| DAC/w Volume control + Power amp or DAC + Integrated? Well I lasted a few days using the Matrix Audio Mini-i-3 Pro DAC direct to amp, a Benchmark AHB2. I am going to order a Benchmark LA4 preamp for $2500 and use this same DAC with fixed output. The LA4 is going to be so much better than this DAC dir... | |
| Some love for the Benchmark HPA4/LA4 https://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/amplifier/preamplifier/benchmark-media-hpa4-preamplifier-ahb2-po...The Benchmark HPA4 preamplifier, the AHB2 power amplifier, and the DAC3 B. I liked them so much that I purchased them for my reference system. N... | |
| Mounting near field monitors above 3 computer monitors The Kaya 90 that I demoed was excellent. They have some hi-tech to cancel the back wave so they can be placed close to the wall. I believe all Kaya models have this tech.Google something along the lines:"studio speaker monitor ceiling mounts"https... | |
| Coda Tech Amplifier Someone recently posted that they are a month behind orders right now. I don't think they really care about the web site nor advertising.I just sold my CODA CSiB yesterday and had 3 people ask me about buying it even before I posted an ad. The COD... | |
| The Intellectual People Podcast - Mitch Barnett of Accurate Sound (DSP) This is what I got Mitch to do for my setup. Take a look at my Virtual System and see how my Thiel CS3.7 fits into my small room. Mitch is a freaking star. He used Audiolense for my situation.https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7605Actually with ... | |
| Looking for a tube (or tube sounding) DAC I am doing some testing with my new tube DAC and 3 amps. I have the AMT3SE fully loaded except the XLR for longer than 1 meter runs. I have the default XLR. I am comparing this DAC with the KRELL K-300i internal DAC and a Benchmark DAC3B.To make a... | |
| Hegel H390 vs Krell Vanguard digital integrates amps @luckyrainbow63 I own the K-300i and played it with my incredibly power hunger Thiel CS3.7 over the past week and a half. It sounded great. I think the K-300i was tested by a British mag to have over 400 watts at 2 Ohm. The Thiel goes down to 2.5 ... |
