| Power Supplies & Performance Same wall outlet, or do they have to be different? | |
| Power Supplies & Performance Thanks for that, but it doesn't really answer my question. | |
| Which server / renderer to buy? I’m going to throw in my two cents and suggest you seriously consider experimenting with any of the new crop of DACs for Raspberry Pi such as the HiFiBerry. I think the high-end community is slow to adopt, and resistant to, newer technology that d... | |
| Warm-up time. It takes my system about 30-45 minutes before it 'gets going'. I wonder, though, if just leaving the system powered on does the trick, or if you actually have to be sending signal through for it to make a difference. | |
| Dual-Use Subwoofer? Though I'm not going to be listening to both at the same time, it is possible that both might be powered on at the same time. But for argument's sake, what might happen if accidentally signal were sent to the sub from both sources? | |
| Dual-Use Subwoofer? My AVR has settings in the DSP for crossover and volume output for the sub and main speakers. Once I have the sub dialed into the audio system, I can tweak the receiver. I think no extra equipment will be necessary. | |
| Dual-Use Subwoofer? I think a mini-dsp is more complicated than this requires.My plan is to set the tonality of the SW to the audio system, and use the AVR to conform to that adjustment since the outupt on the receiver is variable.My worry was simply with the possibi... | |
| Dual-Use Subwoofer? @asvjerry that's exactly the kind of configuration I was asking about, and exactly the kind of response I was hoping to hear - or a warning not to do so - either way would have been fine.Thanks to all! | |
| Martin Logan CLS vs. ReQuest Thanks for the feedback, folks.I’ve decided to stick with what I’ve got now. There was a set of CLS 1’s up for grabs at $900, but the frames were in dodgy condition and the owner couldn’t find the panel serial numbers, which raised a red flag. Eve... | |
| Martin Logan CLS vs. ReQuest Heh... well, if you think the Krell preamp is the weak link, you should know it replaced a Mac C28, so I'm still way ahead of the game. :-) | |
| Martin Logan CLS vs. ReQuest Yes, I'm aware of the need for sub(s).The question is, all things being equal, if I'd be better served by the CLS or the ReQuests.BTW, it turns out that the CLS are the 1's, not the 2's as I previously thought.Present equipment:Krell KRC-3Bryston ... | |
| How would you get into the biz? @erik_squires There's a lot of good insight to be had here.I often say: "Experience is what you get, when you don't get what you want... wisdom is what you get when you've got a lot of experience."As a marketing professional (albeit hailing from t... | |
| Replacing some old Bryston 4b/1b combo Ditto @jafant If he's happy with the Bryston sound, I'd say stick with it and look at a 4Bst. They can be had for around $1200 (sometimes less) in mint condition with remaining warranty. For a preamp, there are lots of good choices that will mat... | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! I would suggest that you consider improving your power first, which will open up many more choices on speakers. Much of the high-end stuff we talk about here is fairly inefficient.My recommendation would be to look for an amp that can push 100 wa... | |
| A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck? Very interesting stuff. Can any of you fellas point to an article or guide that talks about what to use, and how? I'm new at this and wouldn't know where to begin placing magnets in or on my system. |
