| Solid state - How wide can 3D image go what I can say is that using the Philips CD player (has a CD or Transport) I get a huge sound stage. If I then change to a Sony CDP-997 (has a CD or transport) it does not give me that big of a sound stage.I suspect you have identified your prob... | |
| Solid state - How wide can 3D image go I agree that the room and placement is important, but digital equipment can definitely affect your soundstage. A key technical feature of a good streamer is low jitter, with negative results being a poorly defined or smeared image. The DAC you are... | |
| Jazz And Speaker Placement If it sounds as good as you say, then you have a good solution. In my situation it booms if I get too close. Glad you love your system.I hear what you are saying about bass not being some simple transient. Proper bass at all volumes is of highest ... | |
| Jazz And Speaker Placement I have LS50's and placement challenges as well, and am a jazz fan familiar with the Vanguard album. Based on your post I played the first track and yes, I would say the sides are close to even level with with some edge given to Evans. I thought th... | |
| What I’m looking for in a streaming transport I am searching for the same thing. The Lumin Mini seems to be the best choice in the streamer only space, but still too expensive for my tastes. In the meantime I put together a Pi 4 with an Allo DigiOne board and low end LPS, all running Moode. R... | |
| Good fix-- Have you scratched the wood on your Cornwall IVs? Almond scratch repair sticks are pretty magical. I have used one for a number of different finishes and they do the trick. Used to own a set of Klipsch and guess it would work well on that oil finish. Not perfect, but a nice quick fix. | |
| What is wrong with my system? Having gone from a solid state to tube preamp, I can say they will warm things up a bit, but if the problem is that your system is truly "bassless", I have my doubts it will solve all your problems. I am going to go out on a limb here and suggest ... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? Great discussion, thanks for all the feedback. It sounds like some real results can be achieved with the right solutions. Per my other thread on subwoofer isolation/anchoring I ordered some Nobsound springs for low cost experimentation. I will let... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? "zlone" = Corvette or Camaro? Neither :-). Though loosely related to an engine additive. | |
| Subwoofer Footing - Connect or Isolate? Great feedback everyone, thank you. As a low cost test I ordered some Nobsound springs, though something like a Subdude is definitely under consideration. I shall report back. | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? It would be helpful to know what are the components in your system to suggest effective isolation / tuning. Primary components are Schiit Gungnir, Schiit Freya +, Coda #8. Primarily looking at more isolation for the Schiit components for star... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? I will open the door to shameless promotion. I have limited vertical space in my rack, any suggestions for low profile feet/dampers that are actually effective? | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? So far I am hearing: the earth (was wondering about that), motors/gears, the components themselves, and of course speakers. As for components, are there certain types of internal components/transformers that are greater offenders than others? e.g.... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? While not quite night and day, the upgrade of my Gungnir to Multibit was an immediate and noticeable improvement. Zlone, what did you upgrade to? I owned the original Gungnir and later had them upgrade it to multibit version. That upgrade wa... | |
