| digital or analog volume control? There is controversy in this industrial as to whether a digital volume is just as good as analog volume control. At 32 bits, most engineers say it doesn't matter. I have always been of the opinion that digital volume can be compromise, especiall... | |
| I am looking for help selecting an amplifier to match my Revel F228Be speakers. Auxinput, also a relatively inexpensive to try with a fuse change. I never heard of a fuse change making a sonic change. Can you help me understand t stock fuses are usually made with low grade metals (such as nickel or tin). Also, we have el... | |
| XLR cable with warmth without losing resolution The Wire World Eclipse level is a great recommendation for resolution. I would not call them "warm" per say, but they are slightly laid back. Definitely not a bright or forward cable.Can you make your own cable? Or know somebody who can do a DI... | |
| I am looking for help selecting an amplifier to match my Revel F228Be speakers. I heard the Revel F228Be speakers in a couple different systems at RMAF a couple years ago. I could tell the Revel Be were something special. One of the systems was driven by the Levinson integrated. It has absolutely excellent bass, but I just... | |
| Which USB Re Clocker Your Metrum Octave does not support DSD files. The Metrum has a decent USB receiver, but probably not quite as good as those DACS with the latest version of Amanero USB receiver.If you wanted to improve things, I would go with the Singxer SU-6 wi... | |
| I am looking for help selecting an amplifier to match my Revel F228Be speakers. Before you jump ship, would you be willing to try out a fuse upgrade on the NAD? Stock fuses typically sound bright/harsh/sterile. They could definitely be influencing that screechy characteristic. I have found that a fuse upgrade almost always... | |
| Which USB Re Clocker The Innous is basically a small format computer board with a standard computer motherboard USB output. That being said, it does have a very excellent linear power supply (which definitely helps!!).The stock Wyred 4 Sound Recovery "usb reclocker" ... | |
| Balanced DAC — XLR or SE ouputs? The Zu Omen are extremely efficient 97db speakers. But they do have a higher impedance at 12 ohms. While a higher impedance means that it is very easy for any amp to drive, it also means you are going to get less watts on a normal solid state am... | |
| Seeking power conditioner recommendations / hum elimination One thing you can do is disconnect all interconnect cables and power cords. Then start with your amp. Power on the AMP2 with only speaker cables connected (no RCA/XLR connections from preamp). If you have a buzz at this point, then something is... | |
| Bryston 4B3 or 14B3 ? What is your current amp? Have you heard your focal speakers paired with a Bryston amp? Focal are very fast responding speaker, but can sound sterile sometimes. Bryston is also fast and very clean, but not textured. This pairing may cause the ... | |
| McIntosh MC207 Plus Krell HTS - What Would You Do? I would not bridge the Krell TAS. The B&W speakers drop down to 3 ohms and bridging is really only good if the speaker is flat 8 ohms.As far as splitting / bi-amping, it really depends on how you want things to sound. The McIntosh amps are g... | |
| Laid back DAC under $800? The Jolida Black Ice dac is likely a very good choice. You can actually custom taylor the sonic signature by changing out the tubes. It can be anywhere from very high resolution fast responding sound or a very soft laid back sound or a very text... | |
| A world class volume control for pennies on the dollar yes, like kr4 said, this SPL Volume 2 is basically a preamp with only a single input/output. There are two monolothic op amps internally with a smallish normal linear power supply. Nothing special here in my opinion. It's likely good for the ... | |
| Parasound vs. Krell for 2 channel There's a Chorus 7200 also on audiogon. You could get that and then sell your 5200. | |
| integra dtr 8.9 I don't think there is any receiver or HT processor that accepts a firewire connection. |
