| New Dedicated 20A Circuit Wiring Questions @erik_squires I was not aware of that option, thanks. Probably not in the budget this time around, but I will give it some thought. | |
| little big win Nice! | |
| New Dedicated 20A Circuit Wiring Questions Sorry for the hijack, but while we are discussing this, I am running two 12/2 lines for a new room, remind me, should they both be on the same leg or different in the fuse box? Also, since they are going to the same place, is there any thinking a... | |
| Accuphase or Leben for heavy metal I agree with @piebaldpython that you should go A/B and higher wattage. Look for an amp that specifies a certain amount of Class A watts, this will give you good sound for lower volume listening. | |

| Streamer and Dac ~$4.5k for Vinnie Rossi, Dynaudio system I didn’t know that Vinnie Rossi had two rooms: one with Merason and QLN and another with Mola Mola and YG.

| Streamer and Dac ~$4.5k for Vinnie Rossi, Dynaudio system FWIW, I visited the AXPONA room featuring the Vinnie Rossi, Merason, QLN system, twice. I had to go back the next day to hear it again. It was my favorite room at the show. I can’t tell you if t was rolled off, but it just sounded right to me. I h... | |
| Back to the DAC Check out Merason. I have heard them at a friend’s house and at my favorite room at AXPONA. Very natural. I think it will be my next DAC. | |
| Can a power amp have too much power, risking damage to a speaker? Technically yes, you could damage your speakers with over wattage, but as someone stated, your ears would probably be damaged first. There is more risk with an underpowered amp that starts clipping at high volumes, this will trash your speakers mu... | |
| Upgrade from DeVore Gibbon X Regarding soix’s list, I heard a pair of the Rockport Avior’s at AXPONA this year, and they really stood out. Only bested by the Qln’s for my ears. That said, I made a point to hear the Devores as I had heard so much about them, they were not for ... | |
| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong I have a LA4 preamp in my system and it is a solid performer, yet I am seeking to replace it as I think it is a little dry. However, to the point, I have been trialing “audiophile” balanced interconnects between my DAC, the LA4, and my amp. I had ... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? I don’t think the measurements should be ignored completely when buying speakers, even if they sound good to your ears. Over time, and outside the showroom, any serious flaws might start to become apparent. Reviewing the impedance graph can be eve... |
