| Crossover and Wiring Upgrade @audioman58 +1 So, lets say you're only changing out parts while keeping stock values. You're not creating some Frankenstein monster here, and you could add parts in small increments so as to only have one variable at a time, don't let the naysaye... | |
| How can different CAT5/6 cables affect sound. Per usual arguments (from the above link), theory and measurements vs subjective listening. I've tried many ethernet cables and lengths over the years and I hear differences with certain cables. So am I to believe the science or trust my senses. T... | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? clio09 has succinctly explained the issue and solution, go with the RCA, otherwise you need to change out other components. 4V outputs on dac XLR is typical by the way. This issue points to why its important to check specs prior to purchase of com... | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? @saugertiesbob This not correct. The Eversolo doesn't really have a preamp function, it only has digital volume control, you need analog volume control in order to be considered a preamp, and even then it would only be a passive device. You absolu... | |
| Single way or multiway I suppose most don't fret about their passive crossovers since the loudspeakers they've chosen provide contentment. The importance of knowing the specs of one's speakers and providing sympathetic amplification mitigates most issues. I've not seen ... | |
| Single way or multiway The issue with single driver speakers is covering the entire freq spectrum humans are capable of hearing. I've owned Omega and Jordan single drivers, both were unsatisfactory in this regard. I suppose one could add subs and super tweeters, but I'... | |
| Attention Horn Owners @bolong I've always purchased the Duelund in bulk from PartsConnexion. | |
| What is your vinyl commitment? Somewhere north of $30K with custom build Technics SP10 MKII, highly modified Thorens tt's, Thoress and Modwright phono stages, Audio Technica AT-Art9xa, modified Rega arm on Thorens, Jelco TK-850L arm on Technics. So many other items really r... | |
| Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead Black Sabbath's early music was a perfect accompaniment for us 'freaks' back in the day. And 'The Osbourns', so funny yet so real to life. RIP Ozzy, you will be missed! | |
| The cool factor- who has it? Giving the women their due. Julie London, Peggy Lee, Lana Del Rey. Mose Allison so cool and clever. Louis Prima and Keely Smith, "just A Gigolo", their whole act was the epitome of cool. Dave Cousins of Strawbs, do people equate sensiti... | |
| Attention Horn Owners Roy Delgado over at Klipsch is doing good things with the newer Heritage line. | |
| Is AI going to kill Hifi? AI is a very hungry and thirsty guy, he will starve you of energy and water, but then the masses are merely non-productive excess, productive entities deserve primacy. | |
| The cool factor- who has it? Miles Davis was not a cool guy in real life, many, many issues. And some of the others mentioned here also not cool in real life. Harming oneself is one thing, harming others is quite another. I also saw Miles live towards the end, the audien... | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? If that is true digital volume you're bit stripping, volume should always be set at 100%. | |
| Attention Horn Owners @phusis Never considered going active although sounds interesting, I stuck with the Type A shallow slope design, reportedly most basic and best sounding of the shallow slope. I considered the ALK steep slope design but a good mid driver can extend... |
