| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad @atmasphere Just to follow up on the past post. I contacted Benchmark and their Engineering department confirmed the following:Thanks for your patience. Yes, our units do support the AES48 standard. As I mentioned previously, with my old Benchmar... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad @atmasphere Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking of using the long runs based on a thread you commented on. I am thinking of using a Benchmark LA4 preamp, which I think supports the balanced standard as you described. I am getting 2 amps (one ... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad @atmasphere Would you care to mention the brand of XLR interconnects you are using into your amps? How long are they?I have also been thinking of hiding my rack behind a wall. Some discussion posts on PRO balanced connections and long runs have ma... | |
| Interesting/unusual concert pairings. @thecarpathian I actually saw Madonna once in Toronto. Not sure who I went with but I enjoyed the show and now have 1 of her albums in my collection. | |
| Two New Albums Black Keys fans should check out WAITNG ON A SONG by Dan Auerbach (a Black Key). Beautiful record. | |
| Interesting/unusual concert pairings. Pearl Jam opens for U2 in Hawaii in 2006 | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp https://benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/application_notes/balanced-vs-unbalanced-analog-interfaces?_pos=1&_sid=87340c17d&_ss=r A lot of informative info before this summary in the link above. SUMMARYProfessional-grade balanced analog audio in... | |
| Simaudio 390 Network Streamer | DAC | Preamp I am set on the Luxman m900u amp after doing a lot of demos. It will be an amp that that can serve a couple of growing system roles in the future. So I do not mind spending extra cash on this now.Like you I also have some gear that I really liked,... | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp BALANCED VS. UNBALANCED ANALOG INTERFACES https://benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/application_notes/balanced-vs-unbalanced-analog-interfaces?_pos=1&_sid=87340c17d&_ss=r With the Benchmark gear I had in the past it was XLR for best sound. | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. @jayh31 In my current 12x11x9 space, https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7605I needed acoustic treatments to make the very small KEF LS50's sound their best. Without the treatments I was getting a headache listening to these small speakers at m... | |
| Best cables for Luxman Never heard them but something to consider. https://www.tonepublications.com/industry-news/new-from-luxman-premium-cables/ | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 Thanks, the m900u would then be something special with the 9H. I have heard the 509x, while very good, the m900u is at a higher level. | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 @brrgrr Hey where is the photo of what must be a beautiful system?@contuzzi Do you remember what Luxman model you heard the Persona with? | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 My understanding is the 9H Is the better option for a smaller room over the 7F. Unless, a preamp with DSP is involved. | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. @supermerio I have heard Wilson a few times. I liked the Alexa 1 a lot, thought the Alexandria XLF was amazing, and also recently demoed the Sabrina ($16K). The Sabrina was physically small and was the only candidate for my current room.
