| Help me tame my out of control bass The orange looks better than the red those two big nulls at 55hz and 95hz are probably vertical, floor or ceiling bounce or both. | |
| Help me tame my out of control bass Where was the mic when you took that measurement? General rule of thumb below approx 500hz it's the room above it's the speakers. Put the mic 1 meter in front of each speaker with it pointing between the tweeter and midrange see what you get. For... | |
| Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy Anyone who tells you that you require dual 10 core Xeons with 20 threads to run a server for home audio might not be selling snake oil but he is selling you a Ferrari to drive through a gated retirement village at 25MPH. An i5 Intel with 8 gigs of... | |

| Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice! Tell him you’ll send the check after you receive the preamp and see that it works. | |
| My ears are ready to retire! Devaliet Phantoms the newest ones are roon ready. | |
| Question on Streamer/Dac and Roon Take a lot of what you read about "noise" in digital with a grain of salt. Do you have a problem now with noise in your system? If not don't sweat it the Mytek is more than capable of dealing with USB. If the fan is audible from the mini then move... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I should also point out these were not proper controlled tests and the subtle differences could be attributed to other factors than the amps. Mood, change in sitting position, not all done with same speakers. I really have a hard time understandin... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? Boredom, I’ve heard more amps this year than my previous 30. Sighted they sound different, unsighted I couldn’t pick one from another. I should say even unsighted I can hear subtle very subtle differences but know which was which?? Nope | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I'm using a class d amp now. I have no idea which amp it is, ICE, purifi, Hypex Pascal, I've heard them all in different amps and active speakers. Since the room and speaker contributed more to the sonics than any amp or DAC ever could I wasn't re... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? This past year , which I've had a lot of time, I've listened to various class d amps. I have no idea what opamps were used but I couldn't tell which was which in an unsighted situation. One was actually a class A/B amp. Not a proper test I know. ... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? So, let me see...mentioning that sighted bias is a well know condition of all humans is arrogant? You're claiming you have an ability to overcome perception biases? Interesting. | |
| Custom power cables for powered speakers I needed a 10ft cable for my powered monitors got a good deal on monoprice. $10 | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I never said I tested the theory. I see no reason to educate anyone on sighted bias. The only way anything claimed about opamp sonic differences is if they were tested in a proper controlled blind setting. Flowery subject anecdotes while highly en... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? My theory has already been tested, none could tell a difference. Better luck next time. |
