| Planar Speakers and Diffusors While the TV would need to be addressed separately, I'd focus, to start with, on just the front wall alone and go ONLY with some form of quadratic diffusion. Vertically oriented at that. That's really important because that is what is going to hel... | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k @kuhyay "When tuning components in my system, I’ve preferred ones that are more detailed/transparent rather than overly warm/harmonic. E.g. Telefunken over Amperex or Mullard. Duelund CAST over AN copper. Realistic tone/timbre, soundstage, mi... | |
| Danny Richie on loudspeaker design. But, overall I think Danny does excellent work and I think of him as a 'solid plus' for the industry (he keeps 'em on their toes!) and for the hobby. | |
| Danny Richie on loudspeaker design. While I wouldn't exactly buy any of his modified speakers from other companies myself, I can reasonably see those things as maybe a viable option for someone else. Maybe one or two his better successes there might be interesting food for thought t... | |
| Forced to DIY @bigkidz Very interesting to see your post above. At some point down the road, I just may look you guys up! | |
| Forced to DIY Some years back now, I simply grew tired (to the point I'd had enough) of waiting in vain for manufacturers to somehow 'divine', or to pluck out of the ether, exactly what kind of build quality, sound quality, feature sets, etc., etc. that I wante... | |
| Alan Maher Designs @txp1 Hi, although I still have my eye on a lot of Alan's products, I won't likely be in a financial position to order anything more for another couple months or so and I haven't ordered anything new for a few years now, so I have no experience wi... | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One Lalo Schifrin: Bullitt Dirty Harry (nice companion piece to the above) Kelly’s Heroes (outstanding underscore) Roy Budd: 2-CD set called Get Budd (a sampler of his coolest jazz tracks from action/crime films between 1968-75) Henry Mancini: ... | |
| Getting good sound quality below 200Hz @bumpy48, "Is there a reason why this may be, and are there any lower sensitivity 15" drivers that I could think about. Power is not an issue as I have a 1000Wpc Ice amp available." There may well be reasons, but if so, they’re above my pay grad... | |
| Getting good sound quality below 200Hz I'd say that no, this is not necessarily typical of bass below 200 Hz. But, I think you might begin to get a more insightful frame of reference here, if you simply, say, try a different set of woofers to experiment with. Eminence woofers are rel... | |
| Most beautiful turntable under $5k Fender (of all companies) is coming out with their first turntable in many years (and yes, they got their start with turntables before switching to musical instruments decades ago). It’s actually a project in conjunction with MoFi, drawing on the... | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? Agree with @pesky_wabbit "generally, whatever is at hand, they tend to have an ability to hear through the shortcomings of very ordinary systems explain nuances in performances that most people would fail to detect" I’m pretty sure most comm... | |
| Masimo Acquires Sound United - Are Denon, Classe, Polk, B&W, Marantz, going to fade away?? But their total R&D money will be cut, rather drastically. If these companies are forced to choose which end of the product market it will go toward, don't you think their other offerings will take a hit?? | |
| AKM makes the best DACs I bought a DAC in late 2020 that debuted back in 2010 with an AKM DAC chip. Better than anything else overall that I’ve heard. So much so that I’ve since unhesitatingly retired all thoughts of ever looking for anything that sounds better...my own,... | |
| Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit I think the number one problem with satellite streaming is not really the gear (although that can be undeniably a big part of it as well) but it’s the process. The only potential fatal flaw I see there is hoping for the best when you’re trying to ... |
