| Bass Traps I bought this stuff for the limp mass. It’s better than the vynil stuff:https://www.ebay.com/itm/Neoprene-Rubber-Sheet-Strip-1-4-Thick-x-24-wide-x-10-Feet-long-FREE-SHIP/281773665932?hash=item419b04ee8c:g:aOQAAOSwuLZY4J0t i think i used 1/8” for ... | |
| Bass Traps My understanding is that they are somewhat narrow, but will absorb some surrounding frequencies also. | |
| Bass Traps I didn’t really test. I made limp mass for 63hz, and am in the process of making a set for 50hz. These are two bass nodes in my room. Google for “tims limp mass” to see what I did. One of the mistakes people do on these is to use Owens 703 for... | |
| Oppo 105 and Hegel H160 DACs Tired of people asking for data they know does not exist.if you can’t hear differences between DACs, then either your hearing is not as trained or skilled as others or your system just does not have the resolution to reveal these differences.agre... | |
| Bass Traps GIK Monster Bass Trap with FlexRange Limiter works very well between 75hz and about 300hz, while not absorbing much above that. Anything below 75hz really needs a tuned membrane or limp mass membrane, like the GIK Scopus. Don’t get me wrong, the... | |
| Bass Traps Gik soffit traps are broadband traps. They likely will not work as good as the ACDA traps for stuff around 50hz. I took a quick look at the Acoustic Sounds stuff. They make nice quality cabinets, but I think the cost is a lot higher. For examp... | |
| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac I’m wondering if anyone saw this PWT review:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/ps-audio-pwt-cd-transport it it has some interesting features that a normal transport does not have, such as “re-read until successful” vs ecc error checking. | |
| Marantz av7005 vs av8801 vs Theta Casablanca Oh, you could do fuse upgrade in your Marantz AV8801 as well, if you wish. For this, I would recommend a 2A Furutech for the most speed and resolution. I don’t know the physical size, as I think the fuse is inside somewhere.if you are cost conscio... | |
| Marantz av7005 vs av8801 vs Theta Casablanca Sorry, that message posted before I was done. I don’t know much about av8801 configuration quirks. Probably best just to read the manual and try to work from there. There are definitely some processors that will not do bass management (i.e. sub... | |
| Marantz av7005 vs av8801 vs Theta Casablanca One of the things I really like about the av8801 and av8802 is that Marantz put in a very large power supply for this processor, so the sound will be very full and have a lot of muscle in the bass and midbass. | |
| Marantz av7005 vs av8801 vs Theta Casablanca Ah sorry, I mistyped. I see you got the av8801. This still has the older Marantz circuits that are a bit slower/warmer than the newer AV8802A or AV7702 processors. But if you like the sound, I would keep it for now. :) | |
| Marantz av7005 vs av8801 vs Theta Casablanca I don’t know that the Marantz has a Class A analog stage. I do know that the AV7005 (and their other processors) will have a fully discrete analog output stage. They also typically use a slow slew rate op amp for the DAC I/V stage. This give th... | |
| Marantz av7005 vs av8801 vs Theta Casablanca In my experience, the Theta stuff is designed to be very fast/clean. It is conventional op amp I/V after the dac with no Class A or waveform smoothing warmth. I suspect it is a bad match to your Emotiva amps, which are very fast/neutral. The Th... | |
| Interconnect Cables Heh, my cables are all hand built using two braids of 20awg OCC solid core copper with rhodium XLR connectors. The copper wire provides natural organic sound while the rhodium XLR gives the attack and high frequency detail and transparency. Goin... | |
| Please Recommend Transport + DAC for $5K total @melm - the pink faun i2s models that include a hdmi-to-rj45 “single-ended” cable for a specific dac are $515. The models without a cable are $330. I think the pink faun cables are supposed to be really nice, so $185 for a custom i2s digital cab... |
