| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . Regarding making adjustments for each record, Loki Max biggest selling point is definitely the remote control. Would not ever want an equalizer, but if I did, a remote control to operate it would be an absolute necessity. | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . I agree that if your listening room can't be properly acoustically treated because of your wife, the Loki Max would be a welcome addition. Or celibacy a welcome subtraction. | |
| Cables recommendation I used to be like Jasonborne. Then I got my equipment in a proper room. Now I can DISTINCTLY hear a difference in every cable I use except power cables. That is likely due to having an independent electrical feed to the house of stereo completely ... | |
| Setup Speakers Along Long Wall? Answer to your second question: with speakers on long wall in 12 ft wide room, your back ends up against the wall. Basically impossible to get any control on behind your head reflections that way. Diffusers won't work that close behind you. Ideall... | |
| Music Server/DAC – Ethernet, USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S. There is obviously no best answer. It's all system dependent. USB is mine. | |
| Music Server/DAC – Ethernet, USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S. The only audio outputs on the Node are RCA, Toslink and USB. How would I use ethernet if I want it connected to my dac. | |
| Turntable advice Caution: The VPI Classic recommendation above is not what you want as you are specifically asking for ease of cartridge adjustment. At first, It will take you hours to get it right, more like days. Of course, after 9 years with one, it is a piece ... | |
| Music Server/DAC – Ethernet, USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S. With my Bluesound Node N130 and Gustard x26 pro, I am definitely in the USB camp (Gustard doing re-clock and dac). It sounds better all the time. Seems like there is either a burn-in period for the DH Labs silver sonic USB cable or the Bluesound o... | |
| Moved from medium attic like room to larger room, everything is too bright Add more rugs to cover most of that wood floor, lots of plush cloth furniture, heavy drapes for the windows and no metal or glass furniture anywhere. Short of that, it would take big bass traps in each corner wall to ceiling to tame the echo in su... | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing Still missing my point. Oh well, I tried. | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing @ghdprentice Strange reply for someone who is usually well spoken. I can only guess you felt like this implied to you. Of course, no one is stupid or ignorant for buying such speakers, but few go the extra mile to get the most out of them like... | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing So there is a thin line between moron and maniac LOL. Anyone can spend money how they wish, it is their perogative. I guess my point was pretty much missed across the board. It seems to me a majority of those willing to spend high 6 figures for s... | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing Put any of these upper six figures speakers in an average room and my bet is my $18,000 speakers in the house of stereo will make them sound silly. Meaning you would be better off spending low six figures in building a proper listening room first ... | |
| 2-3k budget - adding DAC/Server to Bluesound Node? Check that. The I2s connection is for my CD transport to dac. Streamer to dac is UBS DH Labs silver sonic. Still about same price. | |
| 2-3k budget - adding DAC/Server to Bluesound Node? I have no library, so I don't need a vault. My bluesound Node N130 is connected to a Gustard x26 pro dac via audioquest carbon 48 I2s connection. Total for both would be about $2,000. Doubt you could do any better for that amount of money. Mine so... |
