| What room treatment product have transformed your room or audio system? ATS is great place to get affordable panels or DIY for most economical. Knauf Ecose with FSK facing (white poly on one side) is best for taming bass and room nodes. Not sure ATS offers the FSK version. I found at insulation supply store. Buil... | |
| A pleading request to manufacturers of amplifiers and preamplifiers. When I opened this thread I never thought I'd see the word circumcision used in a sentence but there you go. Class D anyone? | |
| Can't believe I let myself get sucked in again. Pretty new here myself. So you'll be shopping for speakers soon... have you met kenjit yet? | |
| Critical subwoofer tip I have to agree with Erik and others. The room is the elephant... in the room. At freqs being discussed the room resonates in many modes at exactly a sub's typical range. Doing SPL is likely swamped by this. Some cool links out there that sho... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip While it would seem that getting the phase to match the mains is ideal, theoretically this isn't necessarily going to result in no peak or notch at the crossover point. Not unless the slope of the cutoffs for both are the same. For a mains woofe... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip Good thread on a tough, often debated topic. MC correct about ability to sense phase of say 20hz and 40ft wavelength using his numbers but two points. First, thats the extreme case. For most folks xo is up say at 60hz. So that means a wavelengt... | |
| High end Class D amps? Ok so A) Sphynx is the regular tube buffered input upstream of the D module implementation and the Dragon is the TubeD, just to be clear. B) if by looking at a picture one can determine that bypassing select functions within the D module is not h... | |
| High end Class D amps? djones51: I don't think that "insert" has to be literal! There is a myriad of pins on those modules that likely allow for other configs. Did you read any of the interviews provided or any others out there? I don't have a dog in this hunt, I'm ... | |
| High end Class D amps? As I've said, I'm no EE but the board's "wiring" or circuit path into the Sphynx's modules seems infinitely less complex than what's going on in the Dragon board's circuits going into the Dragon's modules. Rogue clearly describes inserting the t... | |
| High end Class D amps? Thanks for adding your experiences with D amps, specifically hybrids which hold my interest. I have a Sphinx integrated now and have 2 sets of tubes on the way to roll (including the Mazdas...). One thing I failed to mention, concerning audition... | |
| High end Class D amps? Klh007, thanks. Will look at those too. Just wondering if the tube adds a real (warmth, harmonics) difference or not. In any of these designs. The notion of rolling to tune to a preference is alluring. I use an tube buffered R2R DAC and its a ... | |
| A deeper more holographic soundstage. OP, same quest here. Was ok but things popped when I did what Millercarbon is suggesting. Symmetry in all dimensions to the inch, or quarter inch when possible. Get a $39 Bosch laser measuring device. I didn't get from your post what you've do... | |
| High end Class D amps? Following this thread and it's very enlightening. Too many good, thought -provoking entries to comment on. Curious if anyone has heard or compared a new gen Rogue Audio amp using their unique topology that deploys a tube "within" the Hypex modu... | |
| Tube imperfections For those perhaps curious, I've listened to the Raytheon JAN 2C51 and the Russian 6N3P-DP each after 24 hrs of break in, in the Orchid DAC. Compared to the WE396, both had way more clarity and definition. Both cleaned up a muddled bass IMO. T... | |
| Tube imperfections MC, thanks for that! In regards to diodes I shouldn't doubt you but one thing at a time. I'll stick to a tube or three and just select the "best" given my ears, the way it works in my overall system. You had to mention the f___ word. Here we g... |
