| Moving to Paris Need: Equipment & 230V @ 50Hz Advice from experts +1. I think you will end up regretting taking any thing. Plus you'll get to go to the real High End show in Munich!!! Get yourself a nice portable unit like a Fiio F7 and K5 headphone amp to tide you over until you can do some shopping. You won... | |
| Acoustic panels - how high? Hi Rocky,One thing I have found is that acoustic panels improve imaging in the dimension you lay them out. That is, if you don't find very deep imaging, put more behind the speakers. If you find the image is in a line between your speakers, put m... | |
| best bookshelf speakers for < $2000? Unfortunately there’s just too much that happens between the master tapes and the disc or file you play to be able to draw any direct conclusions about analog vs. digital. Besides vendors deliberately sweetening mixes to prove the superiority of D... | |
| subwoofer crossover- lowest is best almost always? Sounds like you have a good ear. :) Your approach is pretty sound, but only some one with pretty good ear training would normally approach it empirically. You could be running into a couple of issues. First is "room gain" The phenomenon that the ... | |
| Sounds gets a little fuzzy with high vocals Reduction is your friend :) First, is it both speakers, or one? If just one, switch cables. Does the problem move with the connection? If so it's electronics. If it's in both speakers, try a different pair of speakers. Same problem? Electronic... | |
| Berkeley Dac 2 or PS audio DSD or Schiit Yggs? Audio Research recommends 400 hours of break in time per input on the DAC 8, so I'm not sure if that's true. Do they QA their products after this? Heck no. | |
| Sopra No.2 Overpriced? So, lots of off topic points I want to contribute to.The quality of products made in China is directly proportional to the parent company’s willingness to control that quality and partner with the manufacturer. Very high quality and crap comes out... | |
| Should Manufacturer's Tell Us More About Crossovers And you are not obsessing, but perhaps you need to build your own to sate your curiosity? Try my free plans for the LM-1. Maybe you'll get hooked and decide DIY is the only way to go. :) | |
| Should Manufacturer's Tell Us More About Crossovers Well, of course we all want to know more. :) But it's like looking behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz. No manufacturer wants customers looking at part cost as the measure of the product. They want you to look at things like Modernity, and Adva... | |

| Tidal music to analog preamp One kind of off the wall solution is a Fiio X7 wifi enabled player plus K5 desktop module. | |
| DAC recommendation in the $1k range I have not done a lot of comparative listening, but when I was last shopping for a DAC, the Parasound Z Dac at $500-ish was really quite nice! I could listen to it for hours. I did get to hear it against the NAD M51 DAC, ugh. There was a huge di... |
