| MQA - Music Discussion One of the cool things about HD Tracks (though I know many always want to beat up on Chesky) is that if you click on "About This Album" it will give you details about that. They state for this album, that they went back to the original recordings ... | |
| Wilson Maxx II problem Not really. I mean the luckiest you could get is that the crackling is caused by a bug or other trash getting stuck inside that you could blow out, but that's highly unlikely. I'm actually surprised by the way you are describing the sound, that's... | |
| Shieded power cable with small gauge conductors Shaq,Build some yourself if you'd like. DH Labs makes reasonably good cables at normalish prices of $5/foot. http://www.partsconnexion.com/DHLABS-75520.html | |
| what does a power conditioner really do? @cousinbillyl 125V is perfectly reasonable. 115V is just what they call "Nominal" or "named" voltage. Equipment manufacturers must build to long term use up to 130V, I believe. If you are that concerned get a voltage regulator, but be warned, 125V... | |
| MQA - Music Discussion It seems HD Tracks is starting to trickle MQA in. I may spring for a 2L Mozart violin album. | |
| MQA - Music Discussion The problem I had with 2L was I didn't seem to like the music, regardless of the format. :-) Sorry! :) I may spring for the BV Social Club, but I want to know the provenance first. Erik | |
| Wilson Maxx II problem Are you sure it’s the woofer and not the cables, preamp or the speaker crossover?First, swap amps. Does the crackle follow the amp? It’s also worth swapping woofers. Make sure the crackle follows the driver. If the stereophile review is correct,... | |
| MQA - Music Discussion @dbtom2 So, let's talk music. Anyone have tracks they like with MQA? Best,Erik | |
| In wall AC cables Honestly the normally recommended sizes is best. Having too low an impedance will encourage more noise going back and forth in the wires. You may want to run a circuit for digital, and another for analog. To get uber-fancy run a 220V 60 AMP line... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Room acoustics..... :) | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? If I ever get this place cleaned up I may buy a Tandberg reel to reel just to have on display. :) Best,Erik | |
| Need Suggestions for speakers up to $15K new/used The thing to remember about room acoustics, is they will outlast your speakers. :) Once done right, you may change all sorts of gear, but the acoustics you'll leave alone and never want to let go. :) Best,Erik | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? @nutty I mentioned Naim and Cygnus I think earlier. Not that I know anything about them. :) No one has talked about Linn either.@inna the guy who started YBA? | |
| PS Audio Lanrover Looks Great! Any opinions? For that price, build your own music server and be done with it. :) Best,Erik | |
| PS Audio Lanrover Looks Great! Any opinions? I think it will work better with some DAC's than others. :) In your case, it's probably a good solution, but so would any streamer really. Some of the problems it claims to be solving are probably non issues for a lot of setups. In other words, i... |
