| Do the surrounds really need much power Yes, the Dolby Digital, DTS etc. will have the surround channels as separate discrete channels where they can definitely use the full bandwidth. However, movies are not mixed this way. You will not actually have a lot of sound output on the surr... | |
| Anyone else attend the California Audio Show in Oakland? I took a quick look at the Bakoon. It looks very high end, but it's a pretty low power amp (only 25 watts per channel). If you are looking at the Vox, I would go for the Vox 3a or 3afw as these are just a bit more efficient at 92db than the 3f. ... | |
| Anyone else attend the California Audio Show in Oakland? I would say that imaging and soundstage are very good. However, many people chase after a "deep soundstage" and in my experience this has to do more with the preamp / amplifier that you choose -- as long as the speaker has good resolution.If I re... | |
| Need Impressions of SoundKaos Vox A note of Avalon speakers. These use the older generations of Accuton ceramic drivers. I have heard a lot of speakers using these Accuton drivers. The result is extremely clean audio, but in my opinion these Accuton drivers are too controlled a... | |
| Is This Morgan Freeman? I definitely get some European or European English accent and vocal intonations. Also, too much midrange in this voice when compared to Morgan Freeman. | |
| Anyone else attend the California Audio Show in Oakland? The Sound Kaos Vox speakers were very high resolution and very natural sounding with a a lot of texture. Very neutral and surprising amount of bass. The high frequencies were not bright/harsh which was unexpected due to the ribbon tweeter. The ... | |
| Need your recommendation on a 5 or 7 channel amp Likely current capability. The AT182x series uses smaller power supply capacitor banks and I don't think it's a fully balanced/differential amp (it's a single-ended amp board instead).AT1820: 22,400uf power supply capacitance per channel, 4 outpu... | |
| video connect I need to make a correction on the Roku Ultra DC plug size. It is actually 4.75mm x 1.7mm. | |
| Questions on PC audio calibration This caught my interest even though I had no direct experience, so I had to go on a google chase. I could not find much, but I did find one discussion:https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?topic=119730.0It looks like WOK VST plugin + Foobar2000 VST 2... | |
| Lower voltage caps I would say it really depends on application. If you are using these for a speaker internal crossover network as a filter for midrange or tweeter, I would say that the 400V caps are likely going to be fine. I have seen caps as low as 250V in a c... | |
| Need your recommendation on a 5 or 7 channel amp I think the Sonus Faber are excellent speakers to listen to. However, they do use their silk dome (soft dome) tweeter which is not as fast and high resolution as the metal/beryllium/diamond tweeters out there.You also chose the Marantz AV7706 pro... | |
| video connect Correct, you would no longer be using the streaming function of the LG OLED. The LG TV would now become only a video output display device.Yes, both audio and video signal would be part of the HDMI cable connection from the Roku into the Lyngdorf... | |
| Converting RCA to XLR My understanding is that the Oppo uses both the 5.1 left/right outputs as well as the XLR left/right outputs for generating sound from both multi-channel movie source and stereo music sources, so he should be just fine.The Oppo XLR outputs use a s... | |
| Converting RCA to XLR I would not recommend using RCA-to-XLR adapters unless you absolutely had to.The idea of using the switch on the back of the A51 to switch between RCA and XLR inputs is likely your best result. It's really not a bad idea and you can keep all cabl... | |
| video connect A Roku device is an external source unit that is used to stream audio/video from different sources such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc. It sounds like you are using the built-in app inside your TV to stream from Netflix, etc.You would buy the Roku... |
