| Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu depending on the room size the Pear's. | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT From my experience once a good DAC is implemented the streamer has very little to do with it as long as the signal is good. Most good quality DAC's now can overcome any issues with timing/data issues/ noise, ect. I’ve gone through a half dozen s... | |
| Main speaker placement- fundamentally wrong? If you noticed almost all animal's ears are on the side of their head. evolution made them that way for a reason, most likely for location sensing of predators and pray. I do not think evolution was worried about your stereo separation etc. Reason... | |
| Connecting Hegel H 190 to ARC vsi75 if thats the case get a dedicated streamer and forgo the integrated to integrated idea. | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room Your pictures seem to be distorted and make the room look considerably narrower than in real life. assuming by the skinny chair. That said have you tried some bass traps to damp the bass in room? Maybe it is worth looking at having a company w... | |
| Should I replace my 20-year-old Hovland Radia Amp? After doing some research into Hovland after one of their preamps came into the used market locally i would say sell it and buy a Pass amp to match your preamp. Hovland had some strange ideas and practices not based in engineering in anyway. | |
| Pearl Acoustics Sibelius vs. Bottlehead's Pipette specs alone are far apart from each other. i'd say significanly to the piont they are not even a close comparison. Cabinet constuction is significanlty different as well. I think you get what you pay for in both considering the Sibalius is made in... | |
| Dual 1229 Turntable OR Kenwood 5070 ? the Kenwood over that Dual any day that is one of Kenwood's better tables you'd have to spend quite a bit of cash to get the same performance in a new table. The Dual is ok for what it is but i don't think it stands up to the Kenwood. Dual, ... | |
| … "And the government shall be upon his shoulders" . Well, considering there is no substantiated proof Christ even existed I don't see how any of this is even a thing. Debating the writings of men in ancient history is silly in modern days. You cannot compare historic writings to the modern day wh... | |
| Which DAC - Streamer or Preamp? the DAC1 card is just ok but the DAC2 baord is very good in comparison. probably need a $2500+ outboard DAC to beat it. You may want to price the DAC2 board upgrade for your mac, it also adds some very nice conectivity for a TV through the e-arc i... | |
| Where should the Tubes Go in a Vintage Preamp / Amp System Any perticular reason the Dynaco preamp? Not what i would call a great pramp and the tube types are getting harder to find. If you have it already fine it will do but it will be the week link in your system. As for tubes and where, preamp first ... | |
| Is there a vacuum tube summary poster similar to this grape varietal summary I have a chart in my system info that gives what your asking for small signal tubes in the 12XXX family, mind you only NOS tube. | |
| Replacement power cabling for old Garrard 301 turntable go to the hardware store or local electrics store and buy a wire and plug thats flexable and sufficent sized and put it on, not really that big of an issue. thats what i did with mine when i had it. I left mine hanging off the motor and did not at... | |
| When your boutique Hi-Fi product doesn't appear to justify the price I have had similar experiances with a Canadian audio company and a tuner i bought. I opened it up to find an Ali express $8 tuner kit in it, the kit inclided the tuner board, display, knobs etc. $200 for a $8 chinese tuner kit was disapinting to s... | |
| Trying to find a passive attenuator with a mono/stereo switch and RCA in and RCA out I've never run across one with a mono stereo switch, lots out there with a selector switch and volume of course. You may have better luck having one made, as its just a volume pot and a switch. Decware probably could make one for you out of th... |
