| Dealing with subwoofer Nulls Thanks for the response. I have two subs that I have built myself. They are extremely large - they are 20" wide, 25" high and 30" deep. They weigh about 190 lbs each and are spiked. It is a vented design with a 12" woofer.It is a massive effor... | |
| active room nuetralizer??? @erik_squires - sorry to hijack the OP, but I have a question on the Bag End. Have you actually used the Bag End E-Traps? I have a pretty good room and do not have any major bass ringing. However, I do have a huge hole around 80hz where bass just ... | |
| Just wondering... I think czarivey is correct, to a point. There are definitely some things on the $32K level equipment that are aimed more at luxery level rich people. However, the more expensive DACs do have elements that sound better. That being said, there's a... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise As far as IEC inlets are concerned, I have used the Furutech IEC inlets successfully. I have both fused and non-fused inlets. They are a good addition to your equipment. VH Audio sells them as well. I'm sure you can find them somewhere in the ... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise Technically speaking, there is nothing to stop you from wiring in some normal GTX receptacles and FI-28 male plugs to a UK 220V circuit. It should handle it just fine (it’s just a metal conductor), as long as you stay within the equivalent amperag... | |
| Warm-up time for amps and preamps Leaving your system on all the time can dry out the electrolytic capacitors (even on tube equipment). I would say this is not advisable. You can leave it on if you want, but you'll wear out your caps in a few years or less. On solid state stuff... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise I have two systems, a computer audio system upstairs and my main home theater system. In the home theater, I am actually using the rhodium plated FI-52 for all my primary amps because it was the only 20 AMP IEC (C19) connector that was pure copper... | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? This is pretty much a free tweak. Put your audio equipment device or interconnects into the freezer for 2 hours. Then move to the fridge for 1 hour (slow cool down). Then take out and let it sit for at least 5 hours to allow any condensation to... | |
| Recommendations for top-notch banana speaker cable connectors You could look into the Audioquest 300 series banana plugs. I have used them and their design allows for a very secure fit when you insert the banana plug. (it’s phosphor bronze, so it is a decent metal and a very strong resistance to flexing). Ho... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise The PorterPort is probably the least expensive choice in an outlet upgrade. It’s basically a cryoed Hubbel hospital grade outlet. Keep in mind that it’s made of brass (just like most other stock outlets are). The "cryo" and the additional current ... | |
| How come a power cable changes the sound? It's interesting that I have been seeing someone post on an older thread. This particular thread is 16 years old, so I doubt the OP and original postings really care about this subject anymore. lol | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise Oh, if the rhodium plated terminations sound a bit harsh in the mids or highs, put in a Furutech rhodium plated fuse in the equipment. I have found this smooths out the harshness. The matching of the Furutech rhodium fuse with the Furutech rhodium... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise I’ve done a lot of R&D work with power cables. In your short list, I would probably choose the Neotech NEP 3200 because it uses solid-core conductors. In all my testing, I achieved the best results with solid core. That being said, this partic... | |
| Help me with my short list Uhm, you could look at the Emotiva Stealth DC-1. It is definitely not grainy sounding. It is smooth, but it may not have the resolution or "separation of instruments" that other DACs have. I have not heard the Mytek, so I would recommend you au... | |
| Something just isn't there Several have already commented. A very large and very thick area rug should be put on the front floor between your listening position and the speakers. As Eric has said, you can get art print acoustic panels from GIK. You can look at different ... |
