| Plasma Tweeters - Do they still exist? They make great cigar lighters too. | |
| I listened to a pair of Audio Research Reference 330Ms I got to hear them at a store demo. They're like a cheeseburger in paradise. | |
| Acoustic Panels (2” or 4”) Thickness? Just an FYI, I once put (6) 4 by 2 foot panels of Rockwool together making it over 24" thick. I placed this block in a very boomy corner of my room. They didn't do anything. Reducing bass nodes in a room is very tricky. I got better results moving... | |
| LAIV Harmony When my input board crapped out, Laiv sent a new one in a few days and the installation video on You Tube was a big help. It took about 1/2 hour, and has been working fine for months now. | |
| Adding tube sound to my SS system @mulveling Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate your response, as I was not aware there were chip based R2R', but it does make sense to me now. | |
| Adding tube sound to my SS system How is the Yiggy an R2R DAC? It uses a DAC chip. Unless I am missing the meaning of an R2R. | |
| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. Check out the Benchmark amp. You can just leave it on. | |
| Dirac Live Calibration @navyachts I don't plan on doing it all at once. I have good knowledge of crossovers and parametric EQ', so I will set that up first and fast. After getting the most I can from that, I will tackle the Dirac thing. I have done some reading on it a... | |
| Dirac Live Calibration I was gonna use the Schiit Modius DAC for my subs. It's only about $250 and measures and sounds great (for subs). It has both RCA and XLR outputs. Check it out. I have the Laiv Harmony for the mains DAC. I regret having to replace my Benchmark HPA... | |
| LAIV Harmony Well, the Harmony DAC has a resistor bank that you could just replace them all in one shot for each channel. A lot of DACs use surface mount resistors and they would be very difficult to measure, and almost impossible to replace on the main board. | |
| Dirac Live Calibration Regarding the SHD Studio, how is the quality of the volume control and supplied remote? I am concerned with this unit replacing my pre-amp because it has to control the volume on both digital (high & low pass) outs. | |
| Audiogon seller's question Just have a friendly talk on the phone. Buyers are not usually scammers as they want cash, not the opposite. I hope it goes well. | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update I understand what you mean when you say "a quantum level better", but a quantum level is about the smallest change possible, not a huge difference. I'm not trying to be a PIA, and it just struck me kind of funny. | |
| ADCOM GFA 555ii repair If you do repair and keep it, I highly recommend using some type of power conditioner on it. I found a HUGE difference when I plugged my 555' into a Power Wedge from their time. | |
| ADCOM GFA 555ii repair Well, in CT if you find a repair place you're looking at probably $100 - $150 for a repair bill. That's not saying all the other aging stuff in the amp is OK. It really may be the most cost effective to look into a newer used amp. Two Hundred watt... |
