| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? In support of what others have said, such as Carls, I have a 100 watt amp, and I bet I am only using the first 15 watts. I think where it becomes more confusing is when a passage has huge bass it or huge horn entry, does the amp have the ability ... | |
| Considering a Node2i, what else should I be looking at? I am happy with my node as a streamer only. I have not compared it with much, but it is better then my computer. I picked it up used for not much $. It has been generally stable. I use Qobuz. The amazon interface is not good although it plays fine... | |
| Best quality connection from Network Streamer (BluSound Node II) to Preamp (MC C2700) I have been pleased with the coaxial RCA output into my dac. | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops It goes back to what the majority of people want. Sadly, it is not quality 2 channel audio. Why is an entirely different topic. There are however, many more stores that sell the audio equipment people want - seems like every where sells bose, o... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? Mid-fi is what I can afford. Hi-fi is what I can't afford. | |
| Used PS Audio BHK 300 monoblock or (2) new benchmark ahb2 bridged? I don't have a PS amp, but do have the ABH2. It has been great. Lots of power and no distortion. It outputs what you give it. It also has some flexibility for going mono. IMO, it depends on what you want - if you want the amp to color or dis... | |
| Streaming protocols according to BlueSound Yep. And the sun is hot. : ) Joking aside, thanks for asking and sharing. Always good to go to the source. If you are in a youtube video and right click, there is an option for 'stats for nerds'. It will show the buffer health and how many... | |
| Adding an Sub that doesn't go well below speakers? @javipi I would check out the Rythmik subs as well. If I recall, they go lower then the REL (double check) and have servo feedback. | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? @recklesskelly "I would hardly call it persistence, more like trolling as this is the only subject matter he contributes to. And reading through his archives he is consistently chirping off on it." I have found that people who only speak on one ... | |
| Adding an Sub that doesn't go well below speakers? @hilde45 "then, the phase control is used to align the sub with the main speakers." How do you do this? Are you using your ears or a mic and software? I don't think my ears can pick it up phase difference between a main speaker and a sub (le... | |
| Too powerful of an amp!? @carlsbad2 +1 - Carls is right - we typically use very little power for most listening. A clean amplified signal is better, even if it is 'only' 100 watts. In my system I bet I only use the first 20 watts before it is too loud. | |
| Stoned ice coffee? @mahgister I like your second post. I think what happens is lifestyle creep. Using Mick as an example, He may have 50 million (I assume he is not a saver) - but he has 3 big $ houses, a yacht, and a private jet, plus child support and ex wives... | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? @zavato Proceed with caution - there is a lot of wrong info in this thread. @carlsbad2 You don't understand the technology. @fredrik222 I admire your perseverance, but you will never change their positions. No reason to continue. It reminds ... | |
