| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Remember please the 105 has separate "high end" outputs for stereo the 103 lacks. :) Is it "fine?" Yeah, it's fine. If however you just spent $800 on a turntable and didn't like it, SACD playback probably won't sound good either. You have other ... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Looking again at your list, I put the Emotiva and Oppo sounds as aout equivalent. The Emotiva pre/pro I listened to were quieter, but kind of gutless, or soul-sucking quality. Seemed to have all the notes, but lacked the energy. Personally I would... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Well, I'm not sure about better. I will say the DAC's aren't all that, and SACD analog playback isn't much better. It's not terrible, until you listen side by side with a good DAC. Currently I'm listening to a Mytek Brooklyn, which is leagues b... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil @volleyguy1 I was being funny, but there are some out of control audiophiles in Vietnam who are crazy for Duelund. :) Best,Erik | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil @volleyguy Well now that I know they are in such short supply, I'm putting them up on a Vietnamese auction site at 4x original prices. :) Best,Erik | |
| Looking for speakers under 30" tall. Reach out to Lee Taylor of Taylor Speakers. He can make any of the floorstanders any height. You'll probably want them tilted a little.The Klang-Tong Nada kit uses some of the very best parts available, but there are others. Lee has a very good ... | |
| Anyone use a subwoofer system with YG Carmel @rlawry Yes, it's a known effect that the frequency at which sounds can be localized for humans is around 100-120Hz. This is why the THX reference crossover frequency is around 80. When I say Integration, I mean two things. Speaker integration mea... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hacking at a Pass huh? :) Hey, what do the letters stand for anyway? CMR? Best,Erik | |
| Question about filters on speaker cables @Mizike It IS possible, but terribly uncommon and expensive. IT also doesn't give you the full benefits of getting more dynamic range from the amp you are using. Also, since this would be a high-pass filter, you would be adding some rather high ... | |
| Stacking subs Hi Norm,Having 2 subs, assymetrically placed in the room is the best solution since it allows one to fill in the holes left by the other. Having them placed in almost the same location deprives you of this benefit. Having said that, having a sing... | |
| Anyone use a subwoofer system with YG Carmel @rlawry because integration with the room is more difficult as you go down in frequency, so many buy them expecting them to be plug and play. the subs never get integrated correctly and the consumer blames the sub. | |
| First "audiophile" system, now what? Suggestions for best "bang for the buck" upgrade? How is the imaging? Top to bottom? Left to right, front to back? In whichever dimension that is lacking, add diffusers and absorbers. Best,Erik | |
| Anyone use a subwoofer system with YG Carmel Same advice as with any other speaker. Subwoofers are children of the devil. Well integrated, fantastic, and few integrate them well. What they are NOT is a plug and play solution. Best,Erik | |
