| Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable S/PDIF TOSLINK fiberoptic is actually a very horrible cable. The reason is that the LED or light generating source just cannot light up fast enough to transmit the digital square waves properly. It comes across as a very squirly looking wave (not ... | |
| Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable Oh, if you're building your own cable and looking for a good BNC connector, check out the Furutech Rhodium BNC. | |
| Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable Few things I have learned about digital coax cables:- BNC connectors are best, but need to get closest to a true 75 ohm RCA connector as possible.- For cable composition, solid-core is best with silver-plated or pure silver being the desired for d... | |
| Stand Alone Super Tweeter for Revel F208? The B&W D2 have the woven Kevlar midrange drivers. These are nice, but they do suffer from the typical Kevlar breakup. This is most likely what you are hearing. | |
| Stand Alone Super Tweeter for Revel F208? Agreed on previous comments - a super tweeter will not add sparkle. Most of these drivers can and will reproduce frequencies up to 20khz and beyond. You will really not "hear" anything a super tweeter would potentially add, unless you have a ver... | |
| Bi-amping vs. bridging I was just going to chime in here. It really depends on how you are generating the signal for low/high biamp cables. If you use the "special bi-amp" feature in most processors/receivers, they usually have a circuit that analyzes the actual signa... | |
| Advice needed on Amp You could upgrade the amp to something like Parasound A21 (which would definitely be an improvement) at something like $1800 used. This would definitely increase the resolution/transparency. I would also look at your interconnects, as solid-core... | |
| R2R Dacs $3K or under Don't forget Audio-GD R2R 7. $2580. I've read that Audio-GD has a very nice non-fatiguing sound. | |
| Rotel rsp 1572 anthem statementd2 or krell s100 Well, if you were looking for longevity and reliability, I suspect the Rotel is the way to go. It is new technology (still a current product). It support HDMI and all the current BluRay audio formats. However, it is op amp based and does not ha... | |
| Preamp under $2,000 used Look at a Krell KAV-280p preamp and then re-cap the power supply. Make sure to increase the 4x3300uf main power supply capacitors to 4x6800uf. This makes a huge difference and fixes the typical Krell "cold and bright" sonic signature. Cost of t... | |
| I need help setting up Two Reference power conditioner 20Is on the same circuit Just saw m-db's post where M1 idle current is 33 watts, so correct my statement above. However, recommendation still stands at 2 amps per 20A circuit, but you could probably stretch this to 3-4 amps. | |
| I need help setting up Two Reference power conditioner 20Is on the same circuit That's a lot of amplifiers. Ten 1,000 watt monoblocks. I would not advise hooking all of them to one 20A circuit. There is a huge risk of over-draw and possible fire at this point. I don't know the current draw, and the M1 are Class D amps, bu... | |
| Fuse upgrade worth it in subwoofers? I have actually done fuse swapping in an XPR-1 amplifier that I use to power two 12” passive subs. Fuses will definitely affect/improve/change your bass. You can tune your bass tones to be more warmer/thicker (I.e. Isoclean fuse), or more deeper... | |
| Sonus Faber Alternatives That Offer Similar Sound and Performance, your expertise needed! Coincidentally, I looked at those Snell A-7. It appears that they use the Seas coated paper wooofers, so they would sound closer to the Sonus Faber type of sound. | |
| Sonus Faber Alternatives That Offer Similar Sound and Performance, your expertise needed! As a comparison, I initially built these speakers with the Seas coated paper woofers (which would be closer to the Sonus Faber sound).https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V8s7w04WKik If you listen, you can tell they are more laid back with the “attack” a... |
