| Over damped Room? You can definitely put in too much sound absorption and deaden the room. It can be a fine line where just 2 panels could throw the room into a non-exciting scenario. If you are lacking bass, try putting in some Owens 703 FRK panels with the foil... | |
| Yet another Amp recommendation needed I knew somebody that went from the A23 to the Stellar 300. The PS Audio Stellar is a Class D amp with a Class A input stage. The A23 is a Class A/AB amp also with a Class A input stage (I believe). The feedback I got was that the Parasound was ... | |
| Marantz av7005 vs av8801 vs Theta Casablanca Based on all that I have read, the general consensus would be that the 8802 is faster and more detailed than the 8801 (more attack and clarity). Marantz engineered a slightly faster slew rate on their analog circuits for the 8802 (using the new H... | |
| Can cables of any cost and quality provide bass response missing in my B&W speakers? Just so that you know, I took a look at the Furez cable and they do not seem to be anything more than just normal stranded 12awg conductors. It does use foamed polyethylene insulation, which will be a much better coating than plastic/PVC of the m... | |
| Are my " diamond " tweeters really diamond The diamond tweeters are definetly usually synthetic man made diamond. This is not a problem as we are not buying jewels, but buying the physical properties of diamond. The idea of using synthetic diamond is to use an extremely stiff material so t... | |
| Anyone Tried Integrating Dirac Room Correction? I am one of the “not so much” crowd. I really tried with Dirac. It did weird things to the sound and the “phasing” of the sound. Depending on how aggressive you do the correction, it can have a tendency to make it sound like the music is right at ... | |
| DVD by Oppo 205 You would have to decide what’s more important. Your original question was for DVD 480i video quality. The older 105D is better because it has Darbee processing for low res. The newer 205 has better audio quality if you use the analog outputs, ... | |
| Yamaha A 500 Integrated Amp Modifications Actually any electrolytic capacitor can be replaced for an improvement. Nichicon KZ Muse or Nichicon KW are the best I have used. | |
| DVD by Oppo 205 Well, it can certainly upscale any 480i DVD content to 1080p or 4K video. However, the 205 series no longer has Darbee processing. The Darbee can definitely help with sharpening lower resolution interlaced content, such as 480i / 480p DVD level ... | |
| Amp recommendation and setup advice please Upgraded power cords can also improve the sound of electronics. There are tons of different opinions, but in my testing, solid-core conductors beat everything else. The Audioquest power cords all use solid-core conductors (except for the very ch... | |
| Amp recommendation and setup advice please fuses - fuses can change the character of the sound in your audio equipment. The stock fuses are usually bright/harsh/tinny as they have a lot of electrical resonance. A few fuses I would look at: Isoclean, Furutech, PADIS. The Isoclean are ma... | |
| Crackling noise Yeah, check to make sure it’s not a bad soldier connection in the cable (or possibly a cold solder or bare wires that are close to touching each other).if the crackling is definitely coming from Phantom, it’s probably best to send to Krell. Most l... | |
| Crackling noise I would say that something is wrong in the Krell Phantom. Maybe disconnect all XLR cables from the Phantom. Then connect Phantom left XLR output to one amp channel. Then unplug that XLR cable and plug into the Phantom right XLR output. This will h... | |
| Can cables of any cost and quality provide bass response missing in my B&W speakers? kost - please don't enflame this conversation as you have done with many other conversations. We have already determined and stated that bass is a limitation of the speaker's woofer characteristics and box design. OP is simply asking if there is... | |
| Amp recommendation and setup advice please The phase switch can help with blending in bass with the main speakers. You can try both ways and see what has better/more bass. The phase essentially switches the polarity of the woofer. If the signal is normally pushing the woofer out, the ph... |
