| Best movie for subwoofer test ? Best demo disc for sub-woofer is Live Free or Die hard. When I play this, guests ask me if I have something wired to vibrate the couch. I do not -- it is the subwoofer shaking the room. The great thing about this soundtrack is that there are rapid... | |
| DCC2 with Hard Drive, Subwoofer? RM -- I am in Marin County. Oakland is just across the Richmond San Rafael bridge. It'd be interesting to bring my Apogee Mini-Dac over and A/B it with the DCC2. The Apogee has XLR outs. | |
| DCC2 with Hard Drive, Subwoofer? I read it again. I think I get it. Y connector with the Two RCA end going into the DCC2's L & R RCA outs and One RCA end going into the SUBWOOFER, so that the low frequencies from the DCC2's L & R would go to the powered Sub. Then, XLR's f... | |
| DCC2 with Hard Drive, Subwoofer? Great info -- out of curiosity, where did you get the Y-connector? Do I understand you correctly to say that it is a balanced interconnect from DCC2 to your amp, but the Y splits off to a single ended interconnect for your subwoofer? | |
| DCC2 with Hard Drive, Subwoofer? It's hard for me to get out on a Saturday Night, but I'm going to try to make it on the 25th. I am also using Sonos. Currently, I am using it with an Apogee Mini-Dac, which sounds great. In the same istening room, I also have an Emm Labs DAC6e and... | |
| DCC2 with Hard Drive, Subwoofer? What pieces are included in your Hard Drive/ DCC2 system, how do you like it, what else have you heard and how would you compare your hard drive/DCC2 system to others you've heard. If you also are using a subwoofer with your hard drive/DCC2 system... | |
| Best lines in a song I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison. And I went to pick her up in the rain. But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck She got runned over by a damned old train. -- David Allen Coe | |
| Review: Emm Labs DCC2 DA converter The Levinson pre would be rendundant as the DCC2 SE already has an excellent pre-amp. Why complicate the signal path? I'd say go directly from the DCC2 to your amplifiers. | |
| In-ceiling speakers I have a dedicated listening room for critical listening, but I try to get good sound for background and incidental music as well. Always looking for better sound. | |
| Why do my transformers hum sometimes? "Transformers can hum when line voltage is +/-10% of the transformer's voltage rating." -- TvadMight explain why it happens on Saturdays. More people home using appliances, drawing electricity. | |
| Why do my transformers hum sometimes? Here's another wrinkle --In my old house, I used to get humming transformers in my audio gear. I installed dedicated 20 amp outlets and the humming went away. So, it seems that sometimes transformers hum when they don't get enough juice. Dedicated... | |
| DACs with FIREWIRE? What are you hoping to do with this firewire DAC? Does it have to be firewire, or can it be USB? What's your application? | |
| Velodyne Digital Drive Series subwoofer in stereo Truthseeker and Cryptical -- Excellent information -- thanks! | |
| Best headphones you've ever heard/used You know, I have never connected the two before, but now that you mention it, I bet a jacket would help keep me warm and toasty in frigid situations. Thanks! | |
| Best headphones you've ever heard/used I'm sorry, what'd you say? No, seriously -- I appreciate the concern, but I don't listen at really high volumes only pretty high volumes and then only for a little while. I may not be the sharpest potato chip in the bag, but I do know enough to av... |
