| Turntable Isolation Minus K will solve it, a bit more expensive but you can shake the table below it pretty violently and the record will play on | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line Late to the thread so didn't read it all. You said Spotify and internet radio which are both lossy, compressed sources. It is a fool's errand to think that any streamer is going to turn them into something they are not Save your $6000 and subscri... | |

| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review I read (skim through) reviews to see what music they are using to evaluate a system. Found some good stuff that way. Not much use for them otherwise. | |
| Turntable Isolation Magnetic levitation is the way to go. Not that difficult to setup nowadays; the new ultra strong magnets are not that expensive. Then just a couple steel plates and you are in business. A little foam or something on the sides to keep the suspens... | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? If you look into this a bit further you will discover that these other waves are combinations of sine waves, and there are no musical signals which have an instantaneous rise time. If you put any musical signal through a spectrum analyzer you will... | |

| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? "an amp operating withing it’s specifications that is producing 100 W RMS at a given frequency will reach peak power in the same amount of time as a 1 W RMS amp will." You missed the point. I said ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL. So the same amp... | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? The amplifier takes time to make this power (i.e., slew rate). So the amp "slews" 3.16 times faster to reach the same volume level resulting in increased dynamics for the high efficiency speaker. that's not how it works, that is not how slew ra... | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... In any case, I have a BSEE and MSEE in information theory and signal processing, as well as PhD work in cognitive science and am very skeptical of the ideas and claims made here concerning cables. This is a perfect textbook example of an appeal... | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... I’m not going to settle this debate, but I can tell you this with 100% certainty If you google this topic you will find hundreds of threads over many years where you get the exact same arguments on both sides and it always ends right where it sta... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers I’m not going to settle this debate, but I can tell you this with 100% certainty If you google this topic you will find hundreds of threads over many years where you get the exact same arguments on both sides and it always ends right where it sta... | |
| Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer? these threads, and there are too many to count on this and various other forums, are a complete waste of time. Once you read the first one years ago the responses are always the same and go into 2 broad categories. there is no reason they can m... | |
| Has buying and/or selling audio gear changed? when we signed up for PayPal we agreed to pay them a fee for their service. Going to F&F cheats PayPal out of what you legally owe them for using their service. In other words, using F&F is dishonest. Many have all sorts of rationalizatio... | |
| Can you provide context on First Watt? DIYaudio is a great place to ask about FirstWatt products, since it is essentially a kit. that is completely false, they are finished products just like all Pass products There’s absolutely nothing “kit” about a FW amplifier nothing |
