| What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found? I will add to the list of supporters for GIK products. I have found the products attractive with a good selection of fabric colors, fairly priced, great customer support and quick delivery. Some of the pieces are large and appear that they would b... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss Any thoughts on how a pair of KEF Reference 3 speakers would work with a Pass Labs 30.8 or 30.5? I would be pairing the amplifier up with a Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3 Extreme. | |
| can someone answer me this..... If it's new with little hours of play time my thought is break in. My CJ took hundreds of hours but once those caps are broken in the sound was wonderful. Roll tubes once it's broken in. | |
| Pin point imaging isn't for everyone @bdp24, I agree that if you are interested in a system that is accurate to what was recorded then the system should reproduce the soundstage as the studio mix intended you to hear it even though it may not be accurate to how the performers were ac... | |
| Used 5ch Amp (Classe, Krell, Rotel) Your situation seems similar to mine. I had a Rotel 5-channel amp and an emotiva home theater processor. I decided to add two emotiva mono-blocks to drive the front left and right channels. This made a BIG improvement in sound, the first thing I n... | |
| Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life! Where to put your money is always important to consider when you first set up a higher end system, however once your first "true" higher end system has been purchased and and balanced properly based on budget then the merry-go-round starts for man... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Better wall receptacles, better plugs, better RFI filtering in the cable itself all improve sound, however do you need to spend thousands or maybe a hundred? I have always been satisfied with "hospital" grade from the receptacle through the cord a... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming I have found that redbook sounds better than those same CDs ripped to FLAC files and streamed through the exact same system the CD player goes through. Both the streaming (ROON) and CD player use the same DAC (TEAC NT-505). Streaming when I am not... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels I have KEF Ref 1 and 3s and both are in rooms 12 x 15 with 8.5 foot ceiling heights. They sound great. I run both with tube amps that produce 38 watts per channel and that is plenty. I tried Electrocompaniet solid state AW400 watt mono blocks with... | |
| Popular DAC that is known for its warm-ish sound? TEAC NT505 has the sound you are looking for. Concerning support, all the manuals, drivers, firmware are all on line to download and in English. Onkyo is providing US support, distribution and I assume warranty issues. It is very new in the US and... | |
| Popular DAC that is known for its warm-ish sound? The TEAC 503 and 505 both produce a wonderful sound which leans towards the warmer or analogue side of digital conversion. The unit can come as a simple plan DAC (UT) or Network and DAC unit (NT). I suppose they might be considered a poor mans Eso... | |
| In search for speakers of "natural" sound Tough question to answer when you omit the primary style of music you listen to, info on your romm size and treatments if any and your other components and of course your budget. All of this info is required to be able to properly recommend a pair... | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp From my conversation with Andy, in which I did specifically inquire on this issue, his response was that the XLR is a "true" balanced connection with the 1.2, if that helps. In my opinion, if you are using quality interconnects and your run is not... | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp With the original Rhumba 1.1 you needed to reverse the speaker polarity and the XLR were not truly balanced. The current model, Rhumba 1.2, both of these design issues have been changed. With the Rhumba 1.2 you do not need to reverse the polarity ... | |
| Dedicated Line(s), One Line or Two? I would add to the dedicated lines a unit that would provide power protection and conditioning by using something similar to or a Sola-HD, MCR Hardwired Series - Power Line Conditioning with Voltage Regulation. You would go from the panel to this ... |
