| Class A\B or D for summer months (vs Class A) You shouldn’t be restricted by your imbalanced AC unit. Run any amp you want in perfect comfort. My listening room was furthest from the AC unit and couldn’t keep cool. Installed a mini split AC unit. Runs perfectly quiet.(no, really, it’s silent... | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM? Not knowing the scope of your own ignorance is part of the human condition. The problem with it is we see it in other people, and we don't see it in ourselves. The first rule of the Dunning–Kruger club is you don't know you're a member of the Dun... | |
| Dual Sub-woofers paired into two sets of speakers - connection option. @tunehead Correct in your thinking. High level connection will pass along the sound charateristic of your amp. Punchy amp = punchy sub. It uses a small signal and uses no extra load. Highly recomended for stereo set up. | |
| Axiom to remember "Ask not what you can do for your stereo but what your stereo can do for you." | |
| Help streaming Qobuz through Macbook Pro I use Audirvana downloaded on a laptop, which bypasses the internals of the laptop using Qobuz. Out USB to a DAC. Audirvana then has an app downloaded to a tablet or a phone that is a visual remote control for the music. Works perfectly. | |
| Who is Roon? @mapman After years of admiration for James Bond I recently came to the realization that Bond was the one who cheated Goldfinger in their golf game. First offense... Goldfinger would never find his ball because Bond was standing on it. This fo... | |
| Good outlet for amplifiers @peter_s I hear you… But I would also have to construct my own cables in that case. I’m using power cables that have plugs on them. Your attempting to improve the 'weak link' which is the connection of the PLUG its self. None of these connect... | |
| Good outlet for amplifiers The best method? Don't use a plug. Hardwire in a sealed box. Cheapest and by far the best. You could simply cut off the ends, strip the wires and solder/connect them together in a sealed box. Then you don't have to pay a rediculious amount for a m... | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? One very important point that should be considered IMO. The connection to a 'high level input' (Rel and Paul McGowen suggest this also). This connection feeds the subwoofer the exact same dynamic level imparted from your amp. A punchy amp charact... | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? I also would be happy with two SVS SB-2000. I prefer sealed subs for music. Less bloat not using a port, tighter sound. Balance them left and right in stereo. | |
| Tweeters with or without fluid? No fluid at all! Ribbons are much faster. Catchy nickname btw. | |
| Room is way too bright. verticle blinds can be had using softer fabric. Also, a much better solution, I did one room where a largest window behind the listener was fitted with plywood covered with glued on acoustic foam panels. Looked good and worked great and was easily... | |
| My high pass filter experiment and a couple of questions I went down this 'High pass' road once. In the begining it made perfect sense. Then Then I started thinking about how my precious audio signal was being run through all this additional wiring and electronics molesting the signal along the way. Aff... | |
| 2-way design vs. 3-way design means ? A 2 way speaker has a bigger physical demand put upon the 2 drivers of a tweeter/mid bass. Think about this...those 2 drivers have to make ALL the sounds! The load is reduced when you divide the frequency and add a speaker to handle just the mid... | |
| Audiovana disconnects from Qobuz after several days of nonuse I have no issues using Qobuz with Audirvana, Maybe it's different if using Audiovana. |
