| Accounting for slight hearing loss Sorry all, I was travelling and doing this thread during it. George, yes I clicked wrong one. If I do anything in way of more electronics in stream, I'd prefer the analog method at the end. Since it's only affecting mid/highs I'm starting with ... | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers I had drunk friends once try to "help" by reconnecting my 2 NAD Monitor series amps after I had turned in. Turns out they had no idea what bridged mode was. No harm in the end. I think the OP fared pretty well all considered. @perkri, I guess ... | |
| Accounting for slight hearing loss Erik, just make sure I understand. A DSP between my transport and DAC will convert with it's own DAC, do its eq, then convert back to the undecoded format (ADC). Then my MHDT will see it as before. Alternatively, the Loki is at the end if the c... | |
| Accounting for slight hearing loss Thanks George, your point is well taken and what was on my mind. I have a really nice DAC with nice tubes so adding another DAC in the chain seems risky as DSP has to convert it first. Still, any comments on Loki (analog) messing with relative p... | |
| Accounting for slight hearing loss Erik, thanks for the leads! This would likely suffice to "retune" my output rather than differentially doing this on the speakers. Doing it in the xo would likely result in differential impedance and likely phase curves, between speakers. Now I... | |
| Accounting for slight hearing loss Erik, just looked at Loki. Inexpensive enough to try. But it can go between transport and DAC? I use a Cambridge CXC to an MHDT Orchid. Otherwise it's my ProJect TT to Vincent Pho8. Jaytor, I like your thinking. Simple enough but I've made t... | |
| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste @OP New here and sometimes struggling to keep up but I think I get what you're getting at. Example. Jitter etc aside, CD source often considered cold, clinical and uninspiring. Too perfect perhaps? Consider too that some added noise allows for ... | |
| Holy Brightness Batman! @arctikdeth AK = Alaska. | |
| Holy Brightness Batman! @arctikdeth Those Scanspeaks are in 2-way Madisound NADA, Klang Ton build kit in cabinets by Lee Taylor. Went ported. Ps, as you see by my handle I'm in AK. You (arctik)?@b_limo Then you know of what I speak! I upgraded DAC this winter to an ... | |
| Holy Brightness Batman! Same this guy. Tried a pair once with metal domed tweeters (can't recall actual driver but was aluminum) and lasted about 3 days. Went back to silk. So concerning Revelators, I'd agree but my current 2 ways use the Illuminators. They are beryl... | |
| Do you prefer tidy room to messy one with better sound? Come on. We all know a newly washed car goes faster, is quieter, gets at least 2 mpg better. Make mine neat (tidy). Even visual distractions well, distract from the acoustic.I tried hanging a picture in my main view, lit room, compared to a bla... | |
| Small room amp and speakers recommendation I can't be more impressed with my large bookshelf kit 2-ways from Madisound. A ported "Klang-Ton" NADA speaker build with Scanspeak Illuminator drivers and upgraded xo parts. $1900. I had the cabs made by Lee Taylor. He builds lots of gear and... | |
| Were you naughty or nice? What did Santa bring you! Audio related only please! Upgraded stylus; Mile Davis, Kind of Blue (180 gr remastered mono); Dire Straights, Love Over Gold (180 gr 45rpm); Porcupine Tree, Fear Of A Blank Planet LP. Yeah, kind of all over the spectrum. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Great thread and educating. A tube DAC newbie wonders, is the tube in the Orchid easily rollable or does it require soldering (skills)? | |
| Another Analog v. Digital Thread? Not Really Really enjoying this thread as its pertinent and timely to me. Been building out and replacing old gear. Like many, I've dusted off the vinyl and discovered what I've been missing and that's not even on 5k or more of analog gear. Next up to rep... |
