| How old is too old for a Dac? I know it’s ’sacrilege’ here on AG to suggest such a thing, but by way of a fun project that’s not too expensive and might deliver unexpectedly positive results, you might consider something like a Raspberry Pi and DAC daughter board, then rip you... | |
| Is this a disgrace to the Industry ? Wait. What?So, let me make sure I understand this right.This product claims to preserve the "original organic sound of vinyl" by turning an analog waveform into a digital signal to be sent via bluetooth or WiFi to be reconverted via a cellphone c... | |
| Martin Logan CLS "Buyer's Guide" Question Panels can be rebuilt, per the ML Owner's forum. I got in touch with the guy who does the work and he quoted $500 for a set of ReQuests with newer and better coating on the mylar and upgraded contact strips all the way around. Not too bad, all t... | |
| Speaker cables for Martin Logan's Acoustic Zen Satori on my Requests. | |
| Best Cheap Amps for Magneplanar Speakers Ditto the Bryston 4BST, an improvement over their original design. I’ve been driving both Martin Logan reQuests and Dahlquist DQ10’s and it hasn’t skipped a beat. I think it’s a ’dual monoblock’ design, and you can usually find ’em at about $1G if... | |
| I NEED AN AMP!! BUT WHAT?? HELP PLEASE!! If you like the sound you're getting from the Bryston so far, why not look into a 4BST (250wpc) which can be had within your budget? | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? @emailists it's possible we bumped into each other from time to time. I knew the fellas at Eardrum fairly well back in the day, and we often kidded the owner (Artie) that his radio ads sounded like they were done by Tom Carvel.I still own a pair ... | |
| The dumbest stereo experience ever! Not sure I can 'top' your story, but here's mine.A friend and I got into a conversation about my new acquisition (Martin Logan reQuests) and commented that my Dalhquist DQ10s were "ugly as sin". I found that statement amusing coming from a guy th... | |
| Class D Technology Interesting discussion. Can someone suggest a low-cost "bettter" Class D amp for use as a 'mid-fi' system with consumer-grade speakers for elderly parents who like to listen to music, but don't "LISTEN" to music as we do?Thanks! | |
| Seller asked for PayPal fees after the sale. Should I pay them or not? I also agree that it was the seller's responsibility to disclose his terms BEFORE the deal. Whacking someone with additional hidden charges after the fact is not an honorable negotiating tactic and holding the item hostage smacks of scumbaggery. Y... | |
| Music Server Lots of good ideas here. I did something along the lines of what sbank did, and it's quite effective.I used EAC to rip my entire CD collection to a Qnap NAS as FLAC and stream bit-perfect to my preamp using a Raspberry Pi and HiFiBerry (though th... | |
| Martin Logan CLS "Buyer's Guide" Question Hey, guys. Just wanted to report in and say that I stumbled into a pair of mint condition ReQuests at a great price, so I couldn’t resist. They’re the newer design, production date in early 2000, and were in storage for some 5 or 6 years, so the p... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-12 crossover schematic DQ10 owner here. There used to be a Yahoo group for Dahlquist owners, and they had all sorts of references from schematics to mod recommendations and custom builds, though I can't say for sure if there was anything for the 12's. Give it a shot and... | |
| Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set These things gotta happen every five years or so, ten years. Helps to get rid of the bad blood. | |
| Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set Depends on how you define 'gravy'.Some day you may be called upon to do your Don a service. |
